Crochet Mini Demogorgon With This Free Pattern
One of the most attractive features is the flower-like face, made with soft, slightly ruffled petals that open up just like the iconic monster. The body is small and round, so it fits easily in your hand or can sit on your desk, bookshelf, or windowsill as a conversation starter. The crochet stitches give the finished toy a soft, textured appearance, with a unique mix of colors that can be customized however you like.
I also love how you can add your own personality to each Demogorgon with different eyes or embroidery details. Some people use safety eyes, while others hand stitch features or even add a little mouth to give it a friendly—or fierce—expression. The pattern is designed to be quick and straightforward, making it great for using up small bits of yarn and perfect for beginner and experienced crocheters alike.

Body & Limbs
With main color:
- Make an amigurumi/magic ring.
- Round 1: 8 sc in ring (8 sts)

- Second leg: As above—4 half-finished dc cluster in same st, pull through all loops.
- Sc 6 (remaining round).
Leg clusters are crocheted by starting a dc four times in a row, then finishing them together.

Each petal starts with slip stitch, then works tall stitches in same stitch, and ends with slip stitch. Repeat sequence for each petal.
Make second flower center (petal piece) in main color for back.
Edging and Joining*
Place petal pieces together, wrong sides facing.
- With matching yarn, sl st or sc around the edges of both pieces together, joining petals at edges.
- If too tight at petal tips, add an extra sl st or sc for shaping.
Plain-language summary:

Before finishing flower joining, surface-embroider between black and red with white yarn:

Finish joining rest of the flower.
Final Assembly
