This is part 3 of the “crochet Chibi Halloween amigurumi figures” series! And today, you will learn how to crochet this oh-so-cute amigurumi Mr. Sickle holder using the same Chibi Halloween doll base. Our little kawaii-eyed amigurumi Reaper holds a crocheted sickle that looks so cute in its tiny arms. Just like the previous spooky buddy tutorials in this series, I will provide you with the crochet pattern for both the doll base and Mr. Sickle accessories so you can crochet a complete amigurumi spooky figure. Can be crocheted in less than 45 minutes.

You can display this little amigurumi Mr. Sickle holder with both the hood on and off, and it will look simply cute in both ways. The crochet cape is also removable, so you can also crochet one for your little kitty amigurumi.

For the crochet sickle handle, we will use a copper-colored thread and wrap it around a cotton swab. You can also crochet and present this amigurumi Mr. Sickle along with the crochet pumpkin buddy and the flying witch buddy amigurumi. So, this Halloween, continue following this amigurumi spooky buddy series to learn the upcoming amigurumi characters, too. The next will be the Mr. Bolt zombie amigurumi buddy. Now, continue reading to learn more about this crochet amigurumi Mr. Sickle.
