Vessel (Sleep Token) Crochet Doll Free Pattern

Skill Level: Intermediate Beginner (Basic crochet stitches, color changes, embroidery)

Materials:

  • Yarn:
    • Worsted weight yarn in White
    • Worsted weight yarn in Black
    • Worsted weight yarn in Dark Gray
    • Worsted weight yarn in Light Gray (a shade lighter than Dark Gray)
    • Small amount of Red yarn for embroidery
    • Small amount of Black yarn for embroidery
  • Crochet Hook: 3.75mm (or size appropriate for your yarn to achieve tight stitches for amigurumi)
  • Stuffing: Fiberfill or similar stuffing material
  • Embroidery Needle: For embroidering the mask details
  • Scissors
  • Stitch Markers
  • Yarn Needle: For sewing parts together and weaving in ends

Gauge: Gauge is not crucial for amigurumi, but aim for tight stitches so stuffing doesn’t show through. If you want to match the approximate size, crocheting a small square of 10×10 single crochet stitches with your chosen yarn and hook should measure around 2.5cm x 2.5cm (1 inch x 1 inch).
