The spooky voodoo lovey is a twisted creation, brought to life with a combination of amigurumi and intricate mosaic crochet stitches.

The poppet’s eyes are small x’s that seem to follow you wherever you go, giving off an eerie sense of sentience.

Its arms are long and thin and seem to twitch and move on their own. Heart-shaped charms are stitched into its blanket, glowing dimly in the darkness. The lovey’s mouth is stitched into a permanent grin.

Despite its unsettling appearance, the voodoo lovey exudes a strange allure, drawing in those who dare to gaze upon it. Its presence is both comforting and chilling, like a warm embrace from beyond the grave. This lovey is not one to be trifled with, for its dark magic runs deep, weaving a spell of love and dread that is impossible to resist.

This pattern uses overlay mosaic crochet technique and requires an intermediate skill level. Included is a chart and line-by-line written instructions. I use America Terms and the stitches used are all a variation of either Single Crochet or Double Crochet.
