A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A crochet amigurumi inspired by Gengar from Pokémon: a round purple ghost with red eyes, a wide toothy grin and little back spikes. About 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A free pattern with every round counted, a 3D model to turn around and a printable PDF. Unofficial fan-made design, not affiliated with or endorsed by Pokémon.

How to crochet the Grinning Purple Ghost

Beginner-friendly · 8 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 12 pieces in rounds: Body, Ear ×2, Spike ×5, Arm ×2, Foot ×2 (48 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 7 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

What you'll need

Tick things off as you gather them.

0 of 7 gathered

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  1. Size before assembly: about 8.3 cm at the widest, 6.6 cm long; 27 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  2. Change to ghostpurple (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R14).
  3. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  4. 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.

  1. Size before assembly: about 4.2 cm at the widest, 2.4 cm long; 8 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a spoon: push the front wall into the back wall (not down to a thin plate) — a concave spoon about 3.1 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 42 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 35 %) -->

  1. Of these: upper — 2 (left and right); mid — 1; lower — 2 (left and right). Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest, 1.5 cm long; 5 rounds.
  2. 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.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.3 cm at the widest, 1.3 cm long; 4 rounds.
  2. 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.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 4 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly only and press it flat to about 8 mm thick.<!-- flattened 50 % -->

    1. Body is the base; its magic ring is at the bottom.
    1. Ear → body (make 2). Centre: in round 25, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew around the opening (22 st); the seam covers rounds 19–27 of the body, about 10 st wide. Keep the spoon hollow side forward; the opening lies in a curve following the body, both layers sewn down. It points up and outward.
    1. Spike (upper) → body (make 2). Centre: in round 24, 1.5 st from the centre back line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew around the opening (12 st); the seam covers rounds 22–25 of the body, about 4 st wide. It points backward and up and slightly outward.
    1. Spike (mid) → body. Centre: in round 19, on the centre back line. Sew around the opening (12 st); the seam covers rounds 17–21 of the body, about 4 st wide. It points backward.
    1. Spike (lower) → body (make 2). Centre: in round 13, 2.5 st from the centre back line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew around the opening (12 st); the seam covers rounds 11–15 of the body, about 4 st wide. It points backward and slightly outward.
    1. Arm → body (make 2). Centre: in round 12, 13 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Flatten the opening (4 st against 4 st) and sew it on in a straight line front to back, along the round: rounds 11–13 of the body, about 4 st wide. It points outward and slightly forward.
    1. Foot → body (make 2). Centre: in round 3, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Flatten the opening (5 st against 5 st) and sew it on in a straight line side to side (across the toy), along the round: rounds 3–4 of the body, about 5 st wide. It points forward and slightly down.

    The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.

    • Satin stitch (on the body) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in eyered thread, a oval about 15 mm wide and 9 mm tall, horizontal stitches, turned 25° anticlockwise (looking at that surface); centred between rounds 20 and 21, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left .
    • Satin stitch (on the body) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in pupil thread, a oval about 3 mm wide and 3.5 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 20 and 21, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left .
    • Embroidery in mouthdark thread (on the body), straight stitches through: (in round 14, 5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right) → (in round 13, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 12 and 13, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 13 and 14, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 12, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 13 and 14, on the centre front line ) → (in round 12, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 13 and 14, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 12 and 13, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 13, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 14, 5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left).
