This will be the final design for this collection (for now!). Once again, my amazing Patreon members had the final say—first the Scarecrow, and now the Grim Reaper. I originally tried to give him a scarier face, but he insisted on being happy, so I let him! Feel free to use your creativity and embroidery skills to give your mini Grim Reaper amigurumi the face you like!
If you don’t know yet, this crochet Grim Reaper is part of the World of Mini Halloween Amigurumi collection. Recently the Mini Ghost and Scarecrow joined the crew! The elders from this collection are the Evil Witch, the Good Witch, and the Mad Wizard! You should check them out!
I invite you also to look at the Halloween Cats in Costume with the Skeleton Cat, Mummy Cat, Pumpkin Cat, Pirate Cat and Cat Dracula!
And don’t forget the previous year’s collection, a lovely Little Witch, Mini Frankenstein, and the internet favorite, Chubby Black Cat!
