Zombie Amigurumi Pod Person

In this tutorial, we’ll be crocheting a Zombie amigurumi! This pattern is made all in one piece using color changes, so you don’t have to sew anything together. To make this a bit easier, I’m also including this new amigurumi color chart that I created to help better understand and explain color changes for your amigurumi!

The Pattern

Use the checkboxes to track your progress
(1:23) The time codes match to the pattern video

01Color Chart Key

Border = Stitch Type

Look at the border of the square to signify the stitch used

Brackets = Where to work the stitch

Boxes connected by brackets signify where that stitch is worked into (ie. worked into the same st)

Color Key

Look at the colors in the square to determine the color of the stitch.

Solid bordered squares with two colors require a half color change. Make the first pull through, completing the previous stitch, with the first color (Red), and next with the second color (Green).

The number above of the box is the stitch number in that round (ie. 10 = stitch #10).

Adding the Face:
Start by adding the eyes. If you want them to be white try painting them with some fifinger nail polish, white out, or use a bullion knot with white yarn. Both eyes go in Rnd 7 The right eye goes in stitch 2, and the

left goes in stitch 6. Try to get the eye into the center of the stitch, it helps to use a darning needle poked through and twisted to create space to more easily fifit the eye into.

You can use an extra strand of Green yarn sewn from behind the eyes to create bags under the eyes or an angry emotion. I usually do one different than the other to give my Zombies more character.
Now add teeth with White strands below the eyes by simply embroidering it using a strand of White yarn. Then add a lower lip under the teeth with a strand of Green yarn.

For the hair cut strands of Brown yarn and double knot in the center. Pull this through two seperate stitches at the top of the head and cut short(ish). The double knot should prevent the yarn from being pulled out of the stitches. Make sure the hair is a little patchy.

For more help on customizing eyes see this tutorial.
