Vincent the vampire is fun Amigurumi project for intermediate and seasoned crocheters! It’s perfect for Halloween!

Vincent was bitten on a Halloween night back in the 90s, when he was out trick or treating, thinking that vampire was his buddy Ben. He quickly got the hang of things though and embraces being a teen vampire. All his friends, including his twin Vicky are immortal blood suckers, too. They still like to read comic books and hang out together, but now they can fly and turn into bats!

I’m sure he will make a creepily cute addition to your amigurumi collection.

The pattern has detailed step-by-step instructions that are accompanied with high quality photos of the process.
It includes photo tutorials on how to make a magic ring, an invisible finish, invisible decreases in single crochet, and color changes in single crochet.

Required materials and tools:

  • Cotton yarn in a DK / light worsted weight in desired skin and hair tone, and color for the shirt, pants, boots and scarf (I used white, black and red)
  • 2.5mm crochet hook / Size B-1 or C-2 depending on how tightly you crochet
  • 1.75mm crochet hook / Size A-0
  • Embroidery floss in light pink, white and red (or preferred color for the bat embroidery on his top)
  • 7mm safety eyes
  • Fiberfill
  • Craft wire (at least 1mm in diameter) (optional)
  • PVC tape (optional)
  • Stitch markers
  • Yarn needle
  • Large eyed sewing needle
  • Scissors

If using the recommended yarn weight and hook size your vampire doll will be about 19cm / 7.5” tall.
