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

Free crochet goth pattern: a Goth Cat in a Coffin amigurumi, about 10 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A black cat with big yellow eyes and a smug little face rests in a small purple tub-shaped coffin, front paws draped over the rim, with a hexagon lid propped open behind it and marked with a gold cross. You need about 110 m of yarn: 40 m black, 35 m purple, 20 m dark purple, 10 m lilac and 5 m dark pink. Plan on roughly 4 hours. It makes a spooky-sweet desk buddy, a Halloween shelf decoration or a gift for black cat lovers and goth fans. Spin the 3D model to see the propped lid and follow the round-by-round pattern.

How to crochet the Goth Cat in a Coffin

Intermediate · 10 cm tall · about 4 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 8 pieces in rounds: Coffin, Coffin rim, Cat, Coffin lid, Ear ×2, Paw ×2 (75 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 6 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.

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: an oval about 14.5 × 8.9 cm at the widest, 4.7 cm long; 22 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs front to back; the starting chain is at the bottom of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With dark purple: ch 16.
  3. Change to purple (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R9).
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 12.3 cm at the widest, 0.7 cm long; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 6.5 cm at the widest, 9.7 cm long; 32 rounds.
  2. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. 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. Flat motif — hexagon (worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 4.2 × 4.8 cm; 6 rows. It is sewn on with a corner at the top.
  2. 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.

  1. Size before assembly: about 3.2 cm at the widest, 2.1 cm long; 7 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. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 3.7 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 32 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.3 cm at the widest, 2 cm long; 6 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.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 13 mm (on the cat): in round 27, 8 st apart (count along round 27: about 4.2 st each side of the centre top line). Iris yellow #f4d33a.
  • Satin stitch (on the cat): in rose thread, a triangle about 5 mm wide and 3.8 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 30, on the centre top line .
  • Embroidery in grey thread (on the cat), straight stitches through: (between rounds 30 and 31, on the centre top line ) → (in round 30, on the centre top line ) → (between rounds 29 and 30, 0.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 29 and 30, 1.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's right ).
  • Embroidery in grey thread (on the cat), straight stitches through: (between rounds 30 and 31, on the centre top line ) → (in round 30, on the centre top line ) → (between rounds 29 and 30, 0.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 29 and 30, 1.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ).
