The grim reaper is crocheted in four parts

  • Grim reaper's body
  • Grim reaper's head
  • Grim reaper's arm
  • Grim Reaper's scythe

TipIt’s recommended to use stitch markers while crocheting to avoid missing or adding extra stitches, helping you complete your project more smoothly.

This pattern is perfect for crochet beginners! If you're completely new to crochet, check out our crochet tutorial!

Materials needed:

  • Navy blue yarn is used for the Grim Reaper's entire body, gray yarn for the scythe, and white yarn for the spider web on the back of the Grim Reaper.
  • 3.5mm/3.75mm crochet hook.
  • Yarn needle.
  • Marker clip.
  • Scissors.
  • Small wooden stick.

TipIf you want your spider Amigurumi to be fluffier, you can opt for slightly thicker yarn, like DK weight yarn (Light 3) or thicker acrylic yarn. This will give your crocheted piece a fuller and rounder appearance.
