Susie the Zombie Doll
Ahh Susie. She’s a bit creepy but a whole lot of fun! A zombie cheerleader to celebrate Halloween. You can add pompoms but as a zombie, I suspect she may forget about them!
Susie is an intermediate amigurumi (crochet) pattern written in US (American) terms. The pattern includes detailed instructions in an easy to follow layout but a knowledge of basic crochet stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi is essential.
Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished items. My Susie is approx. 23cm (9 inches) tall .
You will receive one PDF file which requires software like Adobe Reader to open (this is free to download).
You will need:
- 2.75mm hook/C-2 (US)
- 8ply yarn DK Light Worsted > less than 50g yarn in RED, WHITE, GREEN, YELLOW and BLACK
- BLACK 4ply yarn or embroidery thread
- Mismatched safety eyes – I’ve used a 9mm (red) and a 7mm (black)
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Polyester toy stuffing
- Stitch marker
Notes:
- A yarn with no stretch is best for amigurumi, I ordinarily use cotton or cotton blend.
- Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round (unless it says otherwise).
- When changing colour, yarn over the new colour and pull through on the stitch prior.
- Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
- For this pattern, the following yarns were used: o RED = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 416 Red Wine o WHITE = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 401 Paper White o GREEN = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 452 Pistachio Green o YELLOW = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 421 Banana Cream o BLACK = Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in col. 402 Pure Black
- I have used safety eyes for this pattern but you may embroider. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
