Free Sirius Black Amigurumi Pattern (Crochet)

Our latest pattern is a free Sirius Black Amigurumi! I’ve just starting reading Order of the Phoenix again and I thought Sirius definitely deserved a pattern.)

In case you would like to make Sirius some friends there are also free patterns available for many other Harry Potter characters.

If you would prefer a PDF version of this pattern or you would like to help support Daisy and Storm to continue to make free patterns, you can purchase a PDF version of this pattern from Etsy

I am planning on making a series of these Amigurumi dolls, so if you would like to request a pattern for a certain character (I’ll do my best!) please let me know by commenting below.
