Why You'll Love This Baby Cthulhu Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns a spooky legend into an irresistibly cute toy that anyone can enjoy. I enjoy the balance between simple amigurumi techniques and little creative touches like the tentacles and wing. I built the instructions to be clear so you can focus on shaping and finishing rather than guessing steps. I always get excited seeing different color versions made from the same pattern — each one develops its own personality.

Switch Things Up

I love mixing up yarn colors to make different personalities for this Baby Cthulhu — try mint green, pastel pink, or deep teal for a dramatic look.

If you want a larger version, use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook; the shape will become chunkier and cuddlier.

To make a miniature keychain, use a finer yarn and a smaller hook and shorten the tentacle chains for proportion.

I often embroider tiny details on the tentacles or add little felt suckers for an extra cute texture effect.

Try adding wire inside select tentacles for a posable feel so you can bend them into expressive shapes.

Change the eye size for different expressions — smaller eyes create a more subtle look, while larger safety eyes make a cuter appearance.

Make a set with matching colors for wings or add tiny crocheted accessories like a hat or scarf to personalize each toy.

Experiment with yarn textures like boucle or mohair for a fuzzy, whimsical version — just be careful with stitch visibility when working in BLO.

I like to use contrasting thread to stitch a small smile or crease line to give my Cthulhu more character and charm.

Consider combining two yarn weights (body in worsted, tentacles in DK) to make the tentacles drape differently and create interesting contrasts.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Attaching safety eyes too late can shift placement when stuffing; place and secure the eyes between rounds 18 and 19 before heavy stuffing to maintain correct spacing. ✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases and decreases causes uneven shaping across rounds; count your stitches after each round and mark the start with a stitch marker. ✗ Overstuffing the head or body makes seams and shaping lumpy; stuff gradually and add small amounts until you achieve a smooth, firm shape. ✗ Cutting the leg thread too early will prevent joining to the body correctly; after the first leg cut the thread, but do not cut after the second leg so you can continue to the body seamlessly.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the safety eyes between rounds 18 and 19 with 11 stitches in between, before heavy stuffing to secure placement.
  • Add tentacles by chaining 25 stitches from the BLO row as indicated, then secure each chain base along the BLO row to create the tentacle fringe.
  • Sew the two legs into the body opening, making sure the first leg thread is cut and the second leg continues into round 6 for a seamless join.
  • Stuff the body firmly but not overly tight, then sew the head to the body using a yarn needle and the long tail left after fastening off.
  • Position arms on either side of the body and sew in place (arms are not stuffed); attach the wing around the neck area as shown in photos.

Important Notes

  • 💡Attach safety eyes before heavy stuffing to keep them in the correct position and spacing for the face.
  • 💡Leave a long tail when fastening off the body so you can sew the head securely and invisibly into place.
  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round and count stitches after increases and decreases for consistent shaping.
  • 💡Stuff gradually for smooth shaping; overstuffing can distort curves and seams, especially on the head and body.
