Free Character Crochet Patterns

Character crochet patterns let you recreate the faces you already love — game characters, cartoon icons and original mascot-style designs — as plushies, charts and appliqués. This collection of free character crochet patterns is translated from original Chinese charts into US-standard notation, with photos and stitch counts to keep you on track.

Character work rewards precision: the difference between "adorable" and "cursed" is usually eye placement, so pin features before sewing and check the reference photos often. Expect colour changes and a bit of embroidery on most of these designs; if you are new to colourwork, pick a character with large blocks of colour before attempting fine details.
