Learn how to make your own Vlad the Vampire amigurumi doll with this digital crochet pattern, which comes with a 43 page PDF document in full color with detailed instructions and tons of large, clear photos. You’ll also find a handy list of all the materials needed to make the doll.
Safety Eye instructions are included as an option to needle felting, however the pattern DOES include needle felting instructions for the face. There are also full instructions on how to create the cloak clasp, as well as an option for how to make a yarn version if you don't want to fuss with the jewelry.
Vlad comes with instructions to make the doll itself, including color-change instructions for shoes, shorts, pants and various different shirt types. Also comes with vest pattern, ascot, and the cloak with two different trim options -- and a hat!
