Bloody Mary Zombie

Bloody Mary Zombie Amigurumi Doll

What is Being Made

The Bloody Mary Zombie is a crocheted amigurumi doll designed by Denise Lawrence of PoseyplacebyDenise. This finished doll measures approximately 8 inches in height and is a decorative stuffed toy featuring a zombie character theme. The design is suitable for crafters with intermediate crochet skills and produces a three-dimensional doll with detailed features and color work.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This pattern employs fundamental amigurumi construction techniques, which involve creating seamless, tightly-worked pieces that are stuffed and assembled into finished dolls. The pattern uses standard crochet abbreviations including single crochet and other basic stitches to build the doll's body, head, and limbs. The instruction "tog" (together) indicates that more than two stitches are joined during construction, a common technique for shaping amigurumi pieces and creating dimensional features.

Tight gauge is essential for this project. Crafters are advised to use a crochet hook several sizes smaller than typically recommended for their yarn weight to ensure stitches are compact enough that fiberfill stuffing does not show through the finished fabric. This tension control is critical for achieving a professional-looking, well-constructed doll.

Materials and Yarn

The Bloody Mary Zombie pattern calls for DK weight yarn in multiple colors to create the zombie character. Specific yarns recommended include:

• Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK #3 Weight in Rose Red and Racing Green for the costume and details
• Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK #3 Weight in Daffodil Yellow and Lime Green for accent colors
• Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK #3 Weight in White for highlights and details
• Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK #3 Weight in Pistachio Green for the doll's skin tone
• Paintbox Yarns DK Acrylic Yarn in Aubergine for the hair

Additional materials include a 2.50 mm crochet hook, fiberfill stuffing for shaping the doll, 10mm safety eyes for facial features, a yarn needle for weaving in ends and assembly, and fabric glue or a low-heat glue gun for securing embellishments. Optional materials include 1mm wire for poseable elements and embroidery floss for fine detail work. Fabric printer paper is included as an optional material for crafters who wish to create custom eyes rather than using pre-made safety eyes.
