Project Overview

This Halloween Snoopy amigurumi is crocheted in parts, including a head with detailed shaping, a body with gradual increasing and decreasing stitches, legs formed from a chain foundation, and separately worked arms and ears. The project is distinguished by its seasonal accessories: a pumpkin, a witch hat, and a cape featuring color changes. The pattern uses basic amigurumi techniques like magic rings, increases, decreases, and slip stitching, combined with colorwork for accessories. Its style is playful and festive, perfect for adding a touch of Halloween spirit to your home.

Materials

• Yarn in appropriate colors: white (Snoopy’s body), black (ears, arms), orange/purple/green (accessories)
• Crochet hook matching yarn weight (commonly 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm)
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Tapestry needle for sewing pieces together
• Stitch markers (optional)

Gauge and Finished Size

The gauge is primarily worked in single crochet (sc), with rounds of consistent stitch counts. Increases and decreases shape the amigurumi form, while accessories include surface slip stitches and back loop working for texture. The final figure is approximately 15–20 cm in height depending on yarn and tension. Proportions based on stitch counts and rounds ensure a balanced doll. When fully assembled, the Halloween Snoopy stands approximately 15 to 20 cm tall, depending on yarn tension and hook size. The stuffing and firm sewing ensure the doll retains its shape and stability.
