Free Voldemort Amigurumi Pattern (Crochet)

Our latest pattern is a free Voldemort from Harry Potter Amigurumi pattern! He would go wonderfully with the many other Harry Potter character Amigurumi Patterns available here. Thank you so much to Alex for testing the pattern for me!

FINISHED SIZE:

Approximately 28 cm (11 inches) tall using DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 3 mm crochet hook.

Approximately 20 cm (8 inches) tall using DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 2.75 mm crochet hook.

You can use any yarn and crochet hook combination that gives you good tension. Normally this would be a hook at least two sizes smaller than that recommended on the yarn label.

MATERIALS:

• Yarn in light grey and black (see note below)
• Crochet hook
• Safety eyes 12 mm (optional, can be embroidered instead)
• Stuffing

You can use any yarn and crochet hook combination that gives you good tension. Normally this would be a hook around two sizes smaller than that recommended on the yarn label. For Voldemort I used a 2.75 mm hook with 8ply/DK/Light Worsted Weight acrylic yarn.
