The devil does not always appear as the evil ruler of the underworld, but can also be downright cute, cuddly and small in appearance, as is the case with this crocheted mini devil.
This little amigurumi devil can be crocheted in no time, not only by advanced crocheters but also by beginners.
This crochet devil is crocheted with chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet stitches, half double crochet stitches and double crochet stitches in spiral rounds and in rows and is easy to crochet.
The depicted amigurumi devil has been crocheted with the “Schachenmayr Catania” yarn with a 2.5 mm crochet hook and has sitting a height of 6 cm.
You can crochet the crochet devil in 2 versions, one “traditionally” undressed as God created him or a little more fashionable in a black suit.

Start sewing the first leg onto the body directly over the edge that was created by the round that was crocheted only into the back loop. Sew on the second leg 4 to 5 stitches left or right from the first leg, again just over the edge.
Arms: Sew the arms left and right onto the body, 1 stitch row under the “neck”. Do not sew the arms directly over the legs but slightly behind the legs.
Horns: Sew the horns left and right 3 stitch rows from the center of the head onto the head.
Tail: Sew the tail onto the back of the devil, centered over the stitch edge.
Eyes: Attach the safety eyes after the 7th stitch row counting from the top center of the head. The eyes are 4 stitches apart from each other. Back to the crochet pattern.
Face: Finally, embroider the eyebrows with a Black thread diagonally over the eyes and embroider the mouth 2 to 3 stitch rows under the eyes.
