Free crochet cthulhu pattern: a Cthulhu Keychain amigurumi, about 6 cm tall in fingering yarn with a 2 mm hook. It is a tiny round green head with five little tentacles, two purple bat wings, small black eyes and a silver loop on top. You need about 45 m of yarn: 25 m green, 10 m dark green, 5 m purple and 5 m silver. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Clip it to keys or a bag, or hang it on a tree as a spooky ornament; it also works as a quick small gift. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

- Size before assembly: about 5.7 cm at the widest, 4.9 cm long; 26 rounds.
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- Size before assembly: about 0.7 cm at the widest, 1.8 cm long; 7 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 50° around round 3<!-- the bend spreads over 2 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces down on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 3, on the centre bottom line). On the inner side draw rounds 2 and 3 together (1 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.
- Flat motif — half circle (worked in turned rows, one layer of fabric), about 2.3 × 4 cm; 6 rows.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.
- Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest, 0.8 cm long; 3 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in silver (same rounds, no colour changes).
- Fasten off. Hold a front and a plain circle wrong sides together and sc around through both layers: 16 sc. Do not stuff. Leave a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing.
