The Witcher Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

THE WITCHER FREE AMIGURUMI CROCHET PATTERN

Inspired by the Netflix series.

I had only seen The Witcher promo on our Netflix homescreen over the holidays and was sure we would never watch it when my brother-in-law played “Toss A Coin To Your Witcher” on repeat at Christmas. A week later we had a free evening and binged the whole first season. It had some odd moments, but I really enjoyed it. I immediately thought the characters would make fun amigurumi and here I am a few weeks later, with my free amigurumi crochet pattern for Geralt of Rivia aka The Witcher. Young Yennefer is coming soon!

I am hoping to add more photos to this to clarify some of the steps. If you have any questions about the pattern or suggestions to make it better, please don’t hesitate to send a message to me on our Facebook or Instagram.

How to make with chains of black yarn.
ch 25, sl st to beginning of chain to create a loop. This is the belt. Turn work, and ch 15 off the belt. Leave tail for attaching. Attach yarn four st away from where the ch 15 started and create another ch 15. Leave tail for attaching. Belt piece will be attached last.

ASSEMBLY
Assemble in this order for best results!*
Attach head to body.
Using a yarn needle, attach head to body at openings using your preferred method of sewing together amigurumi parts. Each opening will have six stitches and line up evenly. I prefer to use a method where you create a vertical stitch by stitching behind the post from right to left on each stitch.
Attach arms to body.
Position arms as desired on body and sew on using long tail from arm and a yarn needle. If it helps, you can use a stitch marker or small pin to hold the arms in place while you are working. I usually put them about one row below the top of the body/bottom of the head and a little to the front.
Attach belt detail.
Put belt on doll with the attached straps on the back. Pull them up over shoulders and criss cross in front. (Do not cross in back.) Attach by tying or with a slip stitch to the belt on the front. The tails on the front and back can also be used to secure the belt in position onto the body when weaving the ends in.
Attach shoulder armor pieces. 
Sew on at shoulder using tail from one end. Piece will be loose on other end. Weave in extra tail.
Attach hair to head.
Hair is made with off white/very light gray yarn using the yarn fringe hair technique from the book Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden, http://www.needlenoodles.com. Click here for a full tutorial.  For Witcher, I did only two layers of hair fringe, attached leaving the very top of the head bald. Then, the pulled back section of the hair is embroidered on and covers the top of the fringe. I highly recommend this hair method, it is by far the easiest I’ve tried so far. Of course, you can also use the hair placement & creation method that you like best.

*If you are new to amigurumi, assembly can be tough! Here are some tutorials from other websites to help you through.
For attaching open pieces (like the head and body)
For attaching closed pieces (like the arms to the body)
