Why You'll Love This The Little Devil Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it balances simple shaping with playful options like sequins, wings, and two horn styles. I enjoy how quickly the pieces come together yet still allow small finishing touches that make each toy unique. Sewing the little details like the tail spike and wings always feels satisfying and gives the character personality. I also appreciate that the pattern uses standard stitches so I can focus on styling rather than learning new techniques.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pattern to create different characters; swap the yarn color to green or purple and you have a monster instead of a devil.

I often change the eyes: use smaller safety eyes or embroider eyes for a different expression and to make the toy child-safe.

Want a dressier version? Sew on sequins or beads, or embroider a little belly button for personality.

If you want a sturdier, posable figure, add thin wire inside the arms and tail so you can bend and pose them.

Make a mini version by using fingering yarn and a smaller hook for a keychain-sized buddy.

For a fluffier look, use a fuzzy or boucle yarn for the body only and smooth yarn for details like horns and tail.

I sometimes add a felt mouth or stitched eyebrows to change the mood from mischievous to sweet.

Try changing horn shapes: crochet shorter stubs or long spiraled horns using the same rounds but altering increases.

Swap the sequined belly for embroidered freckles and a belly button for a handmade, homespun look.

I recommend experimenting with yarn weight and hook size on a small swatch so you can predict the finished size before starting the whole toy.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers when working in continuous rounds causes you to lose track of the start of rounds; place a marker at the first stitch of every round and move it each round. ✗ Overstuffing shapes like the head or legs creates lumps and makes sewing difficult; stuff gradually and evenly, leaving the last two rounds less stuffed for easier sewing. ✗ Forgetting to change yarn color at the instructed round can throw off the look of features; mark the round you need to switch and change color exactly where noted. ✗ Using loose tension allows stuffing to poke through holes and creates gaps; maintain even tight tension appropriate for amigurumi so stuffing stays hidden.

Assembly Instructions

  • Place safety eyes between Round 13 and Round 14 of the head, spacing them 8-9 stitches apart and secure according to the manufacturers instructions before stuffing further.
  • Sew the head to the top opening of the body using the long tail left after closing; position so the seam sits flush and use small whipstitches to attach securely.
  • Position arms on either side of the body and sew using the long tails, angling slightly forward; pin in place first to check symmetry before stitching.
  • Attach legs to the bottom of the body by aligning the unstuffed rounds with the body opening, then sew firmly using a whipstitch so the figure stands evenly.
  • Sew tail to the lower back of the body and attach the tail spike to the tip of the tail by flattening the spike and stitching it securely; weave in ends.
  • If adding wings, pin each wing to the arm and sew the wing onto the arm first, but do not break the yarn; use the remaining tail to sew the wing onto the body during final assembly.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of rounds when working in continuous rounds; move the marker each round.
  • 💡Stuff parts gradually and evenly so shapes form smoothly; leave the last two rounds of legs unstuffed for easier sewing.
  • 💡When decreasing use the invisible decrease method for a seamless finish when working amigurumi (decrease in front loops only if you wish).
  • 💡Place safety eyes before closing the head and stuffing fully to ensure secure, even placement.
