Crochet Demogorgon Snoopy Amigurumi Pattern For Stranger Things

The little guy pairs a Crochet Demogorgon Snoopy Amigurumi snarling petals with the soft, round body of a cartoon dog. It’s tiny, just spooky enough, and it makes a brilliant handmade gift for any Stranger Things fan. You’ll crochet the head, petals, ears, arms, and body, then bring all the pieces together at the end.

Skill Level

This one sits at an intermediate level. You’ll use treble Crochet Demogorgon Snoopy Amigurumi , a mock X stitch, back- and front-loop work, and crochet petals straight onto the head  so it’s best tackled once you’ve got a few amigurumi behind you.

Pattern Overview

Before you reach for the hook, here’s the shape of the project at a glance:

• The build: one eyeball-style head framed by five opening petals, sitting on a small puppy body with ears, arms, and legs.
• Colors: white for the head and limbs, gray for the body and petal edges, red inside the petals, black for the details.
• Hook and eye: a small 2.5 mm hook and a single 8 mm safety eye keep everything pocket-sized.
• How it’s worked: continuous spiral rounds, stuffed as you go, with the petals crocheted directly into the head.
• Pieces to make: head, five petals, two ears, two arms, and a joined legs-and-body section.

Special Techniques

A handful of techniques give this piece its character  worth knowing before you dive in:

• Mock X stitch: gives the whole make its neat, woven look.
• Treble crochet in the petals: builds those pointed, claw-like petal tips.
• Switching loops mid-spiral: on the third petal you move into the front loops so all five end up in the same round.
• Petals worked into the head: rather than sewing, the petals grow straight out of the head stitches.
• Embroidered teeth: added last  bury the tails well so the back stays clean.

Head

R1: 8 sc MR
R2: 8 in [16]
R3-6: 16 sc
R7: 4 sc, 8 inc, 4 sc [24]
R8: 10 sc, (sc, inc)*2, 10 sc [26]

R10: 10 sc, (sc, dec)*2, 10 sc [24]
R11: 24 sc
R12: (sc, dec)*8 [18]
R13: 8 dec [8]

Petals x5

The first petal should start in R8, approximately 2 stitches before where the left eye begins. Add yarn and 1 ch.

R1: 4 sc, ch 1 tr [4]
R2: inc, 2 sc, inc, ch 1 tr [6]
R3: dec, 2 sc, dec, ch 1 tr [4]
R4: 2 dec, ch 1 tr [2]
R5: dec, ch 1 tr [1] -cut yarn

• to begin a new petal, skip one stitch
• since we are working in a spiral, when we reach the 3rd petal, we switch to the front loops to ensure we work them all in R8 (we must also leave one stitch unworked there)
• add gray yarn and ch 1 to the first corner of one of the petals (work 5-6 sc at each corner). At the tip, work a sc, ch 1, sl st (in the original sc), and another sc at the tip.
• To finish each petal, make a sl st in the free stitch at the base.
• repeat the process for The 5 petals, and at the end of the last one, close with a slip stitch in the first single crochet of the first petal you made. *Cut and hide the yarn.
• When embroidering the teeth, I recommend hiding the yarn very well through the stitches on the back so that the back of the work looks as clean as possible.

-stuff and leave a long tail -sew the body just behind the petals, in R9-11

Assembly

Because the petals are crocheted into the head, half the work is already done by the time you reach this stage. Here’s the rest:

• Pop the 8 mm safety eye into the center of the white head before you close and stuff it.
• Fold and close the ears, then sew them at eye level around R9–11.
• Close the arms and stitch them onto the sides of the body.
• Stuff the body, leave a long tail, and sew it just behind the petals at R9–11.
• Save the embroidered teeth for last, weaving the tails neatly out of sight on the back.

Common Mistakes

A few spots tend to trip people up on this one  keep them in mind:

• Starting the petals in the wrong place. They begin in R8, about two stitches before the left eye. Get that first petal right and the others fall into line.
• Skipping the loop switch. If you don’t move into the front loops on the third petal, all five won’t sit neatly in the same round.
• Losing your spiral count. With five petals sharing one round, a stitch marker isn’t optional keep it moving.
• Untidy backs. Loose embroidery tails from the teeth make the reverse look messy, so thread them well through the stitches.
• Adding the eye too late. Set the 8 mm eye before stuffing and closing the head, or you won’t be able to reach the spot.

Important Remarks

• This is a small toy with a hard safety eye, so it isn’t suitable for babies or very young children. Embroider the eye instead if it’s headed to a little one.
• The 2.5 mm hook makes tight, dense stitches. Keep your tension even so the stuffing never peeks through.
• Stuff firmly but gently, a piece this small loses its shape fast if you overdo it.
• Read the whole pattern once before you start, especially the petal section, since that’s the fiddly part.
• Take your time on the petals. They’re what make this read as a Demogorgon, so clean edges really pay off.
