About This The Little Devil Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a charming little devil amigurumi with optional wings, two horn styles, and a spike tail. It includes full instructions for head, body, limbs, ears, horns, tail and optional embellishments like sequins or embroidered freckles. Worked mostly in continuous rounds, it requires basic shaping and some assembly to bring the character to life.

Youll use #4 worsted weight yarn, two crochet hook sizes, safety eyes, and poly-fill to complete the doll. The design is flexible — swap colors, add fur, or skip the tail for your own unique look.

Why You'll Love This The Little Devil Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it balances simplicity with character — the shaping is straightforward but the small details like horns, tail spike, and optional sequins give each doll personality. I enjoy how customizable it is; you can make a spooky Halloween pal or a sweet red companion just by changing accents. Sewing the wings and arranging the features is very satisfying and makes the finished piece look handmade and unique. This design encourages creativity and lets you practice continuous rounds, decreases, and simple surface embroidery in a fun way.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this design with color — try pastel shades instead of red to create a sweet, non-spooky friend.

Want a chunkier devil? Use bulkier yarn and a larger hook to increase the size, or switch to finer yarn for a mini keychain version.

I often add tiny embroidered details like freckles, a belly button, or eyebrow stitches to change the character's expression and personality.

Swap safety eyes for embroidered eyes or felt pieces if you want a completely soft, child-safe toy.

Make the horns taller or shorter by working fewer or more increase rounds, or change their placement on the head for a different look.

Add faux fur patches to the chest or eyebrows for a plush, quirky Krampus-style version using a cat/wire brush to fluff the yarn bits.

If you like posable limbs, add thin armature wire inside the arms and legs before stuffing to adjust poses after assembly.

Try alternate tail tips — a felt heart or tiny pom-pom can replace the spike for a cuter finish, or keep the spike for the classic devil look.

Embellish with sequins sewn on the belly or head for a sparkly variant that really stands out under lights.

I sometimes make matching outfits — a tiny crocheted scarf, cape, or hat can give the little devil extra personality and make a great gift set.

For a Halloween collection, crochet several colorways and add different faces and accessories to create a mischievous set of characters.

Experiment with placement of the wings — sew them higher for a flying pose or lower for a resting, tucked-in look; the choice changes the whole attitude of the doll.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers during continuous rounds leads to losing your place; place a stitch marker at the start of every round and move it each round to keep consistent counts. ✗ Stuffing too firmly in small sections can distort your shaping; stuff gradually with small amounts of poly-fill and check shaping often to maintain smooth curves. ✗ Forgetting to leave long tails for sewing makes assembly fiddly; always break yarn with a long tail when instructed so you can sew pieces securely without rejoining yarn later. ✗ Not using the invisible decrease will show bumps in your amigurumi; learn and apply the invisible decrease for smooth decreases and a neater finished surface. ✗ Changing colors without securing ends can cause loose stitches; weave in or secure color changes neatly and carry yarn where possible to avoid gaps. ✗ Placing safety eyes at the wrong rounds can make the expression odd; count stitches and place eyes between the specified rounds, keeping them 8-9 stitches apart as directed.

Assembly Instructions

  • Place safety eyes between Rounds 13 and 14 of the head, spacing them 8-9 stitches apart; secure them and optionally add embroidered freckles with embroidery floss before closing the head.
  • Attach head to body by matching the neck opening of the head to the top of the body opening, then sew securely using a long yarn tail and whipstitch or mattress stitch for an even seam.
  • Sew arms to the body on either side between the body rounds that position the shoulder—pin arms in place and angle slightly before sewing for a natural pose.
  • Position legs evenly at the bottom of the body, leaving the last two rounds of each leg unstuffed as instructed; sew the unstuffed rounds into the bottom of the body for stable placement.
  • Sew horns and ears to the top of the head in your desired positions, using the long tails left from each piece; for wings, pin the wing to the arm and sew, leaving the tail to later sew the wing to the body as described.
  • Attach the tail to the back/lower body, then sew the tail spike to the end of the tail using the tail spike's long yarn tail, flattening the spike and securing it neatly.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to work in continuous rounds and move it at the end of each round to keep track of your place.
  • 💡When decreasing, use the invisible decrease method in the front loops to avoid visible bumps and create a smooth finish.
  • 💡Do not stuff the last two rounds of the legs — leave them unstuffed to sew into the body for better stability.
  • 💡Break yarn with a long tail when instructed so you have enough yarn to sew pieces together without rejoining.

This Little Devil amigurumi pattern is full of playful options — choose horns, wings, a spike tail, or sequins to make it your own.
