Nerdigurumi Amigurumi Pattern Index
This index links to all of my patterns in an easy to find categorized way because nothing drives me more nuts than digging around a blog looking for a post that contained a pattern or something I need but is tagged obscurely or buried in a bizarre category. As with all of my work, these puppies are free and have very permissive terms of use.
Amigurumi Patterns – TV and Anime
Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1)
This pattern is for Master Shake, Frylock and Meatwad and requires plastic canvas to reinforce Master Shake and Frylock.
Chiyo Chichi
Chiyo-Chichi, the short tempered cat father of Chiyo-Chan makes, no sense and this is perhaps why I love him so. Rising from the fevered dreams of Osaka and Sakakke, he now takes Amigurumi crochet form in this easy pattern.
Large DomoKun
Domo-kun, a strange yet very polite creature that hatched from an egg, likes to rock, watch tv, hang out with an old rabbit dude and pass gas when nervous, is here for you in Amigurumi form. This Domo is a good medium size, finishes up to around 10 inches tall.
Small Domo-Kun Amigurumi
This is a smaller, roughly 5 inch tall Domo-Kun that is worked in joins rather than a spiral and has a crocheted red mouth panel instead of an added felt panel. If you aren’t familiar with working in joined rounds, make sure you watch the video that is linked in the pattern.
Keroro Gunsou (Sgt Frog)
Cute, wildly screwy, moody, kind of a little creep, Keroro Gunsou (Sgt Frog) has ambitions to take over the world and appreciates a good WcDonald’s burger. An alien invader from the planet Keron, he and his troop of subordinates are here to take over or destroy Pekopon (earth).
Amigurumi Patterns – Videogames
Alien Hominid
This flexible pattern can be used to make an Alien Hominid doll that is around 7 inches tall. The antennas are made with bobby pins and yellow paint. We had Alien Hominid for the Gamecube and it was a fun and really well loved game.
Angry Birds Red Cardinal
Who hasn’t heard of Angry Birds? Nobody, that’s who. I don’t play the game myself, but my mom loves it and I made this Bird and the Pig below for her Christmas gift. The pattern is fairly simple although the tail instructions have confused a few people. Check the comments for more information.
Angry Birds Green Pig
This Angry Birds Pig pattern can be modified to make the various incarnations of pigs, of which there are many from what I can gather. All parts are crochet with some felt details and black 6mm safety eyes are great for the pupils if you have them.
Batman (Gotham City Impostors)
Inspired by the awesomeness that is Gotham City Impostors, this amigurumi dark knight has a little stubby build that matches the style of the game art in loading screens, business bat mascot and the calling card.
Bioshock Big Daddy Bouncer
This would have to be the pattern I am most proud of. A small but surprisingly detailed rendition of Mr. Bubbles, a Bouncer Big Daddy from one of my favorite games of all time, Bioshock. This pattern has tons of sewing and finicky pieces and is not for the faint of heart.
Bioshock 2 Bouncer Big Daddy Doll
This pattern is for a replica of the Bouncer Big Daddy dolls that can be found in Pauper’s Drop in the game Bioshock 2, less the orange screwdriver in the head. It was made to be relatively sized to a child as the in game doll would have been to a little sister.
Borderlands 2 – Claptrap (CL4P-TP)
Inspired by quite possibly the best character in Borderlands and Borderlands 2, Claptrap is a stair-challenged and somewhat pathetic general purpose steward bot. The doll is around 7 inches tall and reinforced with plastic canvas.
Minecraft Creeper
That’sssss a very nice everything you’ve got there… It’d be a shame if anything were to happen to it… Plastic canvas reinforcements are recommended for this pattern to create and retain a cubic shape.
Super Mario Brothers Goomba
This Goomba pattern was originally made as a catnip toy and is quite simple and easy to make. Great for beginners and a must for classic or modern Super Mario fans.
Katamari Prince
Na, na na na na na na na Katamari Damacy! From the genius mind of Keta Takahashi, the Katamari Prince is adorable in amigurumi form. If you look on Ravelry there are some excellent Katamari patterns to complement him.
Kirby
This Kirby pattern makes a 6 inch Kirby doll and if you happen to be a Super Smash Brothers fan, the pattern for a Super Mario hat is also included, on account of when Kirby ate fools, he often wore their hat or a hat in their likeness.
Link and a red Chuchu
This pattern is for a playset of Toon Link from Legend of Zelda Windwaker. Included is a bomb, a Chuchu, pig, sword and shield for Link. There is a fair bit of sewing in this pattern but it is worth it.
Noby Noby Boy
From an amazingly creative, peaceful and confusing game, Noby Noby Boy is one of my favorite PS3 games. Another Keita Takahashi gem, the dynamic environments are so very full of weird and whimsy.
Weighted Companion Cube
The weighted companion cube is the most widely known and much loved iconic visual reference to Portal and Portal II. So loyal and always there for you, it would be a shame to incinerate this fine friend.
Portal Chell
This pattern is for a Portal 2 style Chell playset. It includes Chell, her portal device and a weighted companion cube. There is a fair bit of sewing involved in this pattern so it is not or the faint of heart.
Sackboy
A floppy little cutie, clearly knitted, and yet screaming to be recreated in crochet, he is, the reason I pursued learning how to make amigurumi… I wanted a sackboy of my very own. This pattern is for a Sackboy that is proportionately sized to a PS3 controller so you can make him his very own pod!
Amigurumi Patterns – Other
Peanut Tutorial Animal
This is a very basic beginner pattern that I used to teach local workshops. It can be modified to be a bear, cat, dog etc depending on ears made. The pattern includes tutorial videos for round by round instruction and is recommended for those new to the craft.
Chibi Animals
This pattern offer various ears allowing you to make a cute little bear, bunny, cat or dog. It’s pretty simple, works up fast and is well suited to beginners.
Chibi Beginner Tutorial
Another great beginner pattern, this one makes a keychain sized amigurumi that can be a bunny, cat, dog, duck, strawberry, eggplant or mushroom. The pattern is accompanied by a start to finish tutorial video and is recommended for beginners.
Chubby Pig, Bunny, Kitty and Bear.
This is a great beginner pattern, that makes a 2 inch tall cat, rabbit bear or pig and can be modified to suit other animals as well.
Crochet Hook
In it’s very own “Pimp my Ride” putting things in things style splendor, I present to you the amigurumi crochet, crochet hook… an amigurumi plushie of a… crochet hook. I know right?
Cupcake
This pattern makes a small cupcake that would be perfect for a keychain.
Deadmau5 Head
Electro-house fans rejoice, everyone else commence scratching your heads. This Deadmau5 (pronounced deadmouse) amigurumi is small, making a perfect keychain for a fan.
Cheeseburger
This Cheeseburger or Hamburger pattern makes an amazing cat toy when stuffed to the gills with catnip. It is made in one piece, has almost no sewing and works up way faster than individual pieces (patty, cheese, lettuce, buns) made separately then stitched together.
Adam’s Rabbit
A cute little bunny rabbit in a fetching Bill Cosby style sweater, what could possibly top that? Maybe a carrot. This works up to around 6 inches and is well suited to beginners. Originally made as a gift for a baby named Adam.
Crochet Patterns – Accessories (not amigurumi)
Lacy Sock Yarn Cowl
Necks get cold and sometimes, just sometimes, I like to make practical things. This cowl uses up only one small ball of sock yarn and is light and airy.
Cyclops Baby Booties
These were made while I was watching Futurama, the single purple eye being inspired by the lovely lady Leela. They work up quickly and are good gifts for breeders with good senses of humor.
Skill Levels
The skill levels are assigned according to the Craft Yarn Council skill level matrix which uses specific and standardized criteria. Skills levels are defined as follows:
Beginner – Projects for first-time crocheters using basic stitches. Minimal shaping.
Easy – Projects using yarn with basic stitches, repetitive stitch patterns, simple color changes, and simple shaping and finishing.
Intermediate – Projects using a variety of techniques, such as basic lace patterns or color patterns, mid-level shaping and finishing.
Experienced – Projects with intricate stitch patterns, techniques and dimension, such as non-repeating patterns, multi-color techniques, fine threads, small hooks, detailed shaping and refined finishing.
[...] – a.k.a. geeky or nerdy – entertainment. For instance, plenty of crocheters make amigurumi versions of video game and anime characters. A common knitting project is the massive Doctor Who scarf. One knitter makes adorable little [...]
Thank you for your generosity in sharing these patterns, you have inspired me to pick up a crochet hook again. Gaming is a closed book to me but my latest great grandchild is a nerd in training and simply must have a creeper, Sackboy is MINE!

Hi I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful patterns! They’re so cute and detailed! My boyfriend works with kids and last week for spring break they were doing mobile games. He built a giant slingshot and asked me if I could make an angry bird or pig to go with it. I found your website while searching for a pattern and was able to make a piggy really easily!

You have completely spoiled me. I learned how to follow patterns by reading your site. Now I go out into the real world and find that nobody writes patterns that are as easy to follow as yours!
This is a very kind and appreciated comment. Thanks
loved your patterms..very helpful!!surely gonna try them all..i was wondering if you could make the madagascar characters..
Hey!! You’re patterns are amazing!
These are SO COOL !! Thanks for the patterns…
Wow. Just wow. You have all the geek patterns I have ever looked for. You are amazing. Also, when I saw the crochet hook mind=blown. Thank-you so much for your hard work
Wow, i totally love your patterns! Thank you so much.
I love your pattern they are fantastique. I was was wondering if you know what i should crochet for my broters’s B-Day hes turing 10
It depends what he likes
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the patterns you have supplied so far, they are beautiful and I’m sure they represent many hours of dedication and work on your part. I think people are quick to forget that you don’t owe them anything and they are lucky that you provide so many patterns free of charge. I had a giggle at “monkey”‘s list of demands complete with deadline, how can people be so rude? I have no requests or demands, I just wanted to thank you for all the cool patterns you’ve supplied so far, I’m so glad you share them for free as many crafters charge for patterns of a lower quality than yours.

Love your patterns! Thank you SO much for sharing them ^_^
Hello! I just found your awesome site! I am new to amigurumi, but I think it’s my soon to be talent since I have caught on so quick!
I was wondering if you take requests? I would really like to make a pikachu, but alas, I haven’t found a pattern I like-and there aren’t too many to choose from :’(
I really love your patterns!
Thanks!
Jess
Sometimes I am inspired by requests but for the most part I have far more things I’d like to do than time (or attention span) to do them. Thank you though for your lovely comment
You’re extremely talented! Thank you so much for all the great patterns! I’m so excited to ty amigurumi and my first attempt will be the angry bird pig for my son.
he collects these along with the plants vs zombies flowers and super mario. Do you think you’ll ever do a collection of any of these? Thanks again for all your hard work! 
~April
Maybe! My to do list is long and my attention span short
OMG SO CUTE
I reality love your site and patterns, my sons love the minecraft creeper and i already make One. Is it possible to make soms more minecraft stuff?
Greetings Diana
Maybe! i have a long to-do list
Awesome collection!! Love the Angry Birds Red Cardinal. It does look angry!! I like the details you put in your work. I was not aware that you can do such cool stuff with Nerdigurumi. Great work and I look forward to some more.
Cerberus would be kewl!!! My son and his family has a beautiful pit bull named Cerberus! It would be kewl to have one to crochet that I could do in his colors.
just wondering if you could maybe do yoshi from the Mario games.
I hope I’m not out of line here, but figured I’d help out since her to do list is so long… Robo Trish has an amazing Yoshi pattern… i’ve used it many times… <3 Search free amigurumi yoshi in ravelry.com <3

I saw your Toon Link pattern and I think it’s absolutely adorable! I’ve never actually done amigurumi before so it probably won’t be my first project but I definitely want to make one and take him with me to college after I graduate next May!
I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of Kingdom Hearts. The characters from that game series are widely loved and I think you could do an amazing job with it. Honestly, I’m scared to try it because the hair’s a nightmare. lol
Best wishes and God bless! Happy Easter next month (I think? lol)
It would be amazing if you could put up some oddworld game patterns! Maybe abe or grubbs!
all of your patterns are wonderful– where to start? thank you for your generosity in sharing them. i wish that i had time to make all of them!

Love the link pattern!!! I have a request: can you do EZIO from assassins creed? I’ve been trying to find a good pattern but they are all based on sac boys looking for something closer to your Link pattern… It would be awesome if you could do this, I know tons of AC fans would be very happy!
I LOVE your patterns. Thank you so MUCH for posting them
now I have more distractions from my packing I am supposed to be doing. I LOVE distractions specially when they are cute 
MAKE A ANGRY BIRD PLAYSET A BANANA MORE CUTE THINGS A THE SIMPSONS PLAYEST AND HAVE IT DONE BY OCT 20
Hey I love to crochet I think coltons idea of a cerberus was awesome not sure how that would work! If you could do a ToroToro and a Mamegoma that would be super awesome! (those I know will be popular and not too difficult)
love all of your patters but i don’t under stand the big DOMO KUN one
What is it that you don’t understand? I can’t really help explain it if I don’t know where the problem is.
Do you take requests? If you do, could you make a pattern for Sanrio Cinnamoroll? Thank you!
Is it possible you could do a Bulbasaur pattern from Pokemon?
Your amigurumi is exceptional
This site is great! I’m new to this amigurumi stuff but I managed to make the Link playset without much trouble. I would love to see some final fantasy stuff up here. Thanks for the awesome patterns!
-Angie
[...] great nerdy amigurumi site is really simple to remember: Nerdigurumi. Their pattern page has some really cute patterns, such as Domo-kun, a Katamari Prince, Companion Cube and Sackboy [...]
love love love your patterns & ami-info! I’m now using the cotton yarn – what a difference! and you also confirmed by theory regarding blo, flo, vs. both loops – I agree 100% and after trial & error (and pulling my hair out), I’m consistently using both loops – it looks so much better (so who cares if blo uses a little less yarn!)
Thanks for your great site, great patterns & valuable ami-info!!
xo
hey um im new to the amigurumi project but i am also self taught in both knitting and crocheting. i was wondering if you could give some good beginner body, head, arms, and legs patterns. my project that i am doing is from the kingdom hearts seris one of my all time favs with final fantasy. Basically i am looking for beginner bodies and stuff for making my nobodies. i have tried to do the head from this one pattern but it looks more like a lopsided rounded square and i just need a little insite for this plzzzzzz. and umm yeah axel could be troublesome because of his upward spiked hair. thx
Very cool stuff! There isn’t anything you can’t do, is there?!
Nice job on everything.
