Crochet Skeleton Video Tutorial + Pattern


Realistic amigurumi skeleton doll pattern is a little advanced. If you’re familiar with making amigurumi dolls, this pattern will be fairly simple. But for a beginner it can be complex.
Use Aran weight yarn in white for the bulk of the doll, and a little bit of black Aran weight yarn for some of the detail. Worsted weight may be used but you may want to use a smaller hook (like a size B) to maintain the proper tension, and the doll might come out smaller. I used about a fourth of a small skein of white Red Heart yarn for my doll. And I used scrap black yarn for the black parts.
If you want you could also use crochet thread or embroidery floss to sew on more detail.

Pattern has photos, and there is a video tutorial. 
I’ve made several sizes using different sized hooks, and yarns. The smallest size (which came to about 20 inches around,) was made using a “B” hook and worsted weight yarn. 
The 2 middle size (which came to about 21 and 22 inches) were made using a “B” and “D” hook and Aran weight yarn. 
The largest size (which came to about 23 inches) was made using an “E” hook and Aran weight yarn. 
I used 2 different colors of Aran or worsted weight yarns (black and white). I only used about half a skein of white yarn, and used some scraps of black yarn, because it didn’t require much black. I used between 100 and 160 yards of wht (depending on the size) and between 20 and 40 yards of black.The Aran brand I used was Red Heart brand, and the worsted weight I used was Caron Simply Soft, because I had it on hand, but if you prefer a different brand you could use any. 
The last part of the pattern is a bit complex but there is a video tutorial you can watch to help with some of the more tricky bits. Find that tutorial here:
