Crochet Mummy Pattern (Easy Amigurumi Halloween Mummy)

This little mummy is a simple round body wrapped in strips of crocheted "bandages," making it one of the easiest Halloween characters to customize — no complex shaping required.

Materials

• White or cream worsted weight yarn (about 30g)
• Small amount of black yarn for the eyes
• 4.0mm crochet hook
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Yarn needle

Abbreviations

• MR — magic ring
• sc — single crochet
• inc — increase
• dec — invisible decrease
• st(s) — stitch(es)

Body

Worked bottom-up in a continuous spiral.

• Round 1: MR, 6 sc in ring (6)
• Round 2: inc around (12)
• Round 3: (1 sc, inc) around (18)
• Round 4: (2 sc, inc) around (24)
• Round 5: (3 sc, inc) around (30)
• Rounds 6–13: sc around, no increase (30) — 8 rounds

Begin stuffing firmly as you go.

• Round 14: (3 sc, dec) around (24)
• Round 15: (2 sc, dec) around (18)
• Round 16: (1 sc, dec) around (12)
• Round 17: dec around (6)

Fasten off, leaving a tail. Weave through remaining stitches and cinch closed.

Bandage Strips

Chain a length of about 20-30 stitches, then sc back along the chain. Make 5-7 strips of varying lengths.

Assembly

Wrap the strips diagonally around the body in a criss-cross pattern, tacking each strip in place with a few small stitches as you go. Leave a small gap on the face for two peeking eyes.

Eyes

With black yarn, embroider two small round eyes peeking through the wrapped bandages, or attach two tiny safety eyes.

Finishing

Weave in all remaining ends. Fray the ends of a strip or two slightly for a more "unraveling" mummy look.

Tip: leave one bandage strip trailing loose off the bottom for extra character — it reads instantly as a mummy silhouette even from a distance.
