Everything must be amigurumi-fied, even knife wielding dolls with a murderous streak. So here’s Chucky, the dude responsible for my childhood nightmares.
I had quite a bit of fun making this little bad guy because at 8.5 inches, he’s the right sized amigurumi that allows you to add in a lot of details. So I went detail crazy! Right from the stripes on his Converse shoes to colorful stripes on the cuffs of his overalls to the scar on his face. I even gave him eyebrows! And the result is nothing short of fabulous, if I say so myself. 😉 I must warn you though. This pattern requires that you have some basic embroidery skills. Patience is also right up there in the list of must-have skills since you will need to sew several tiny crocheted pieces. If you are not particularly a fan of changing color every row, let me warn you, your patience will be put to the ultimate test. Phew! This is an intermediate pattern as it requires working with four different colored yarns at a time, switching between working in the front loops and back loops, working in back posts, making loop stitches, and every other kind of amigurumi technique that drives the lazy out of you. 😉 Though I’ve tried to include photos that explain the difficult bits, a tutorial on making loop stitch—which is what I have used to make the wig—is probably the only thing this pattern does not include. Trust me, I would if I could but apparently, a pair of hands isn’t enough to hold the hook, the yarn, and the camera. I have a nagging suspicion that crocheteers who post photo tutorials either have an extra pair of limbs or they have a crochet slave stashed away in their basement. So here’s what we will do. We’ll make a quick run to FreshStitches.com where Stacey has an excellent photo tutorial on how to make a loop stitch.
Now with that out of the way, let get to the good part. 🙂 The pattern is FREE! Yes, absolutely free; that is, unless you want to tip me for coming up with this marvelous pattern for you, in which case you can always donate to Animal Nepal. 😀
If crazy killer dolls don’t freak you out, you know this is what should be on your Halloween to-do list. Even if you don’t care for the scary variety, you can always customize it and make Chucky the most adorable boy that ever lived.
Have fun hookin’!

Thank you. I’m glad you like him. 🙂
Hello I am making your pattern for my little neighbor who is obsessed with chuckie, I am stuck on the shoe where it says live stitch ? What does this mean?
A live stitch is the stitch on your hook. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this guy !
It was a lot of fun to make.
I did do the actual converse on my guy😁👍
Unsure why but picture is not loading will try later
Chucky may not be a “GOOD GUY,” but you definitely are a very “GOOD DESIGNER!” Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Aww… that’s so sweet of you to say so, Lynne! Thanks so much. 🙂
Great to see a pattern again from your hand. Even if it is your greatest nightmare.
It used to be my nightmare. Now I’m so much braver. 😉 Thanks for a very warm welcome, my friend. 🙂
Hi, Dear Friend! So glad to see you are designing again! And what a design. You have really come up with a winner. I have never watched any of the Chucky movies just because he was sooo scary. But this is one Chucky that I will definitely need for Halloween! Glad you are hookin’ again! Love, Cynthia
You always bring a smile to my face, my dear Cynthia. 🙂 I’m so so happy you like this little fella. Maybe this one might get you back in the hookin’ game? 😀
I made your Chuckie doll for a friend, now they want Tiffany, Chuckies wife. By chance do you have a pattern for her?
Your instructions on Chuckie were absolutely wonderful. Great Job! And thank you for sharing it with all of us.
OMG – I love love love him! You’re patterns are amazing … you are so very talented! Will you be designing his bride, Tiffany?
I’m thrilled you love him so much. Thank you. 🙂 I have heaps of unfinished projects so I guess dear ol’ Chucky will have to do without his bride for the time being. 😉
Thank you for your reply. I can’t wait to start on Chucky but I may have to try my hand at creating a Tiffany because I think Chucky will be heartbroken without his wife 😉
have you reunited chucky with his beloved yet?
For some reason I can’t get the pattern to download. 😦 this is the coolest doll I have ever seen! Great work!
OH GOT IT! YAY! IM GOING TO TRY TO GET HIM DONE FOR CHRISTMAS. 🙂
Way cool have seen all the chuck movies you’re version is way cooler
Amazing design. A great looking guy aldo a little bit scarry. There are a lot of girl dolls. I like your guy doll. Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice day, Margaret
Yeah this is a doll for me. 😉
I like horror and splatter films.So
i think i will like Chucky too.
Hi, I sent you a message via the contact form on here this morning. Please check it when you get a chance. Thank you 🙂
Hi,
a few weeks ago I send you an email to ask if I can translate your free patterns into Dutch because they are gorgeous , I finished Chucky , do you like to have the translation and can I put it on my FB group ?
greetings an happy Holidays
Thanks for your message. And I’m sorry for taking so long to respond. I do allow translations but there are a few rules I request every translator to follow, which includes not sharing the pattern in its entirety on social media. I’ll mail you in a bit with the details.
This is super cute. I have a quick ? About the shoe. Round 4 bpsc around (24) why is that 24 and not 28. Am I doing something wrong?
Oops! It should be 28. 😀
Hi, there. I have a daughter who is crazy about Chucky. She wants one you can order from Spencer’s. I would rather make one for her. I have your pattern downloaded but I have a question concerning the yarn. Is it just one skein of each color and what size skein? Thanks.
You’ll probably need 30-40 gm of copper red for his hair, not more than 25 gm of light peach for his head and hands, and around 20 gm dark blue. For the remaining colors, you’ll only need small amounts.
Thanks.
The information will help with budgeting the purchase of yarn. 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing the pattern, I fell in love when I saw it and I’ve made mine.
Kisses
That’s wonderful! I hope you enjoyed putting together all the fiddly bits. 😉
I see my ? About 24 should be 28 has been answered. Not sure what it would take to edit but I spent 2 days and many do overs to think it might be an opps. I 1st made this when I was very new to crocheting and now that I am better I thought I might re-make him. Because I think he is the coolest doll out there. I discovered I had omitted the bpsc and only did the blo stich. It turned out fine but adding the bpsc gave the little shoes firmer, cleaner details. So new crocheters don’t be afraid to tackle Chucky. Follow each step that is wonderfully described in text and pics. I learned a few new stitches but nothing I couldn’t handle. This is a wonderful pattern. Thanks for being so kind in sharing it.
Sniff il n’y a pas de version Française, dommage.
Bonsoir non rien en francais
Je viens de le finir
Il est vraiment facile et bien explique
Il faut traduire avec goggle
Bonne soiree
Hi I don’t know if this is a Longshot. I am having trouble on the wig. I’m fine with the loop stitch it’s just understanding how to work the round. It says to make the loop in each stitch and then Inc in all 8 stitches. Do I run the round twice before moving onto the next round? And then on the rounds with the loops and then stitches in ( ). How do I work those?
The loop stitch is made in every single stitch on every alternate row.
For example, in Round 2 you have 8 stitches and you are required to increase each of these 8 stitches. So you make 2 loop stitches in each stitch, taking the stitch count to 16.
In Round 3, you work normally, making a sc in the first stitch and 2 sc (increase) in the next stitch. Repeat 8 times.
Again in Round 4 (alternate round), you make loop stitches in the next 2 stitches and 2 loop stitches (increase) in the next stitch. Repeat 4 times.
In Round 5, you work normally, making a sc in the first 3 stitches and 2 sc (increase) in the next stitch. Repeat 8 times.
So every round that starts with the instruction to make loop stitches, you do them as you worked Rounds 2 & 4.
I hope this makes it clear.
Thank you for the pattern it was so easy to follow, it turned out great. I’d post a picture of how great it turned out but I can’t figure out how to. Lol. Thanks again
I’m trying to make Chucky, but I’m confused at round 4 in the shoe. Sounds 2 and 3 have 28 sc round 4 has 24 bpsc, so there’s 4 sc stitches to finish the round, do I just start round 5 with the red yarn and if I did that wouldn’t the white and red rounds be uneven
Sorry, it’s a typo. The stitch count for Round 4 should be 28.

So lovely!!! Can you please tell me where you got that flat eyes??
Thank you so much!
Hi love chucky I wish I can post my pic of him. Do you know if you are gonna make Tiffany?
thank you for your sharing pattern
Hi! I’m having trouble on the neck/collar. For the start of peach you join in back loop and the do you do a back loop decrease all the way around? Or just a normal decrease? And when picking up the collar what stiches am I crocheting into? I’m sorry I got confused on this part and want to make sure I’m doing it right! Thanks.
Think of it this way: all the back loops of Round 20 of the body will be used for making the neck and all the front loops will be used to make the t-shirt collar.
So, join light peach yarn on the back loop of Round 20 of the body and decrease around only in the back loops.
Now, pick up the red colored loop (from Round 20 of the body) and, working on the front loops, follow the instructions for t-shirt collar.
LOVE this pattern! Can not wait to tree it! I don’t usually use this size yarn so I was wondering what brand do you prefer?
Hello I am currently working on the wig for Chucky and am concerned when I staring working in rows instead of rows as the loops are not on the opposite site. I wanted to make sure this was current before i finish it up. Im sure the rounds will cover up the sides when im done but it seems like all loops should be coming out the same side of the wig. Thank you
Hi, you did a beautiful job. is there a way to make chucky biger?
You can use yarn that’s thicker than the one indicated in the pattern and a bigger hook. 🙂
thank you very much. One question the arms are stuffed? or without stuff
They are stuffed. 🙂
Ello, I love this pattern a lot, and was wondering if you also have a Tiffany pattern as well? or know someone with Tiffany in her bride chic outfit?
Hello, I had the same problem as Veronica, when you start doing the rows for the wig, the loops will be on the opposite side. To fix it I ended up doing two rows of sc before the first row of loops.
Finished making this doll a few days ago. It was my first time using a pattern. This pattern was super detailed and easy to follow. I would love to make his beautiful bride. Are you by an chance planning to release a pattern for Tiffany?
I’m so glad you made your Chucky with this pattern. I don’t have a pattern for Tiffany but I’ve seen other folks modify this pattern a bit to make Chucky’s bride with excellent results. 🙂
In the pattern photos, there are two #8 photos and no photo #9. Can you share photo #9 here?
Love the Chucky doll pattern. So easy to follow. Mine is wielding plastic scissors (not too threatening, but he might run with them.)
