Free crochet mothman pattern: a Mothman Hugging a Lamp amigurumi, about 14 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. This one is a fuzzy dark grey mothman with huge red eyes and a cream ruff, wrapping an arm around a small glowing yellow lamp that has a happy face. You need about 160 m of yarn: 50 m dark grey, 25 m slate grey, 15 m ebony, 10 m cream, 10 m yellow, 10 m brass, 10 m charcoal, 10 m mid grey, 5 m ivory, 5 m blush pink, 5 m beige and 5 m red. Plan on roughly 5 hours. It is a quirky gift for cryptid fans and a cosy desk or bookshelf companion. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

How to crochet the Mothman Hugging a Lamp

Advanced · 14 cm tall · about 5 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 21 pieces in rounds: Body, Foot ×2, Lower wing ×2, Fluffy ruff, Head, Upper wing ×2, Wing eyespot ×2, Face patch, Cheek ×2, Table lamp, Arm ×2, Antenna stalk ×2, Feather antenna ×2 (144 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 14 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.

  3. Size before assembly: about 0.5 cm at the widest, 2.7 cm long; 8 rounds.
  4. 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 ≈ 45° around round 4<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's left on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 4, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left <!-- st 0.84 left -->). It is a slight bend: tilt the piece as you sew it on; optionally tack the inner side with 1–2 stitches drawing rounds 4 and 5 together. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.

  2. Flat motif — leaf (pointed leaf, worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 3.3 × 1.5 cm; 1 row.
  3. 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.

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 18–20 mm (on the face patch): between rounds 2 and 3, 9 st apart (count along round 2: about 4.4 st each side of the centre top line). Iris red #e0282f.
  • Embroidery in plum thread (on the face patch), straight stitches through: (between rounds 1 and 2, 0.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 2, on the centre bottom line ) → (between rounds 1 and 2, 0.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ).
  • Embroidery in ebony thread (on the table lamp), straight stitches through: (between rounds 17 and 18, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 18, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 17 and 18, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ).
  • Embroidery in ebony thread (on the table lamp), straight stitches through: (between rounds 17 and 18, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 18, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 17 and 18, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
  • Embroidery in ebony thread (on the table lamp), straight stitches through: (in round 16, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 17, on the centre front line ) → (in round 16, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
