This pattern works up a fun customizable coffin that can be used for all sorts of things. You can place a voodoo doll, mummy or skeleton inside, and it makes for a great trinket or jewelry box too. This coffin is sure to make a perfect addition to your collection of the weird and wonderful, and it’s a great Halloween accessory too!

The little voodoo doll is just so cute! He’s got one button eye, felt heart and snake and other embroidered features. He’s just the right size to fit inside his crocheted coffin.

Your purchase includes instructions on how to make the coffin (all 3 lid designs) and the voodoo doll. You will also receive a third document … a parchment-like document that lists instructions on how you can use your voodoo doll along with symbolism of different items you can use to focus your intentions.

The advanced beginner is familiar with making amigurumi and understands basic amigurumi crochet terminology and stitches as well as how to sew pieces together, finish off, hide ends, etc. If you are not familiar with all the terms used in this pattern, there are a multitude of tutorials on You Tube that can help.
