About This Hulk Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a small 13 cm (about 5.1 in) Hulk-style amigurumi with a cute oversized head and simple body. It uses basic single crochet shaping, color changes for hair and shorts, and minimal assembly. The finished toy is perfect for gifting or collecting and can be customized with yarn and eye choices.
Uses simple stitches and continuous spiral crochet for even shaping. Includes detailed rounds for head, body, arms, legs and finishing.
Why You'll Love This Hulk Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a charming little character that is instantly recognizable. I enjoy how quickly the body and head come together, making it satisfying to see progress after each round. I also love the playful hairline detail created with color changes — it gives so much personality with very little effort. This design is forgiving and friendly for newer crocheters while still fun to customize. Making one always puts a smile on my face and I hope it does the same for you.
Switch Things Up
I love customizing this pattern by changing the color palette; try pastel greens and lilacs for a softer look or bright neons for a playful version.
I often make the doll larger or smaller by swapping yarn weight and hook size — bulky yarn with a larger hook gives a chunky toy, thin yarn makes a mini keychain version.
I like adding embroidered mouth variations to change the expression — a small smile, a surprised O, or a stitched frown all give different personalities.
Swap the safety eyes for embroidered eyes or buttons for a different aesthetic; felt appliques also make cute eyes for a handcrafted feel.
Try adding tiny crocheted accessories like a cape, belt, or tiny props to create themed characters or seasonal variants.
I sometimes insert a small length of wire into the arms for a posable effect — it allows simple posing but keep it safe and secure if the toy is for children.
You can experiment with textured stitches for the shorts or hair to add surface interest and contrast to the smooth body.
I also recommend varying stuffing density; firmer stuffing gives a sturdier toy for play, while softer stuffing makes a cuddly display piece.
For a gift, personalize with an initial embroidered on the back or a small crocheted heart sewn to the body for an extra special touch.
Don’t be afraid to mix yarn brands and colors — sometimes combining small leftover skeins creates the most charming, unique amigurumi creations.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Not using a stitch marker when working in a spiral leads to lost rounds and miscounted stitches; place a marker at the beginning of each round and move it up as you go.
✗ Stuffing too early or too much can distort shaping and create lumps; stuff gradually and firmly as you work, especially when increasing or decreasing.
✗ Changing colors without securing ends can cause loose loops and gaps at color transitions; catch the new color on the last pull-through of the previous stitch and weave in ends neatly.
✗ Forgetting to align openings before sewing limbs causes uneven placement on the body; press the openings, align three stitches side by side, and pin parts before stitching them down.
