Meet Your Mike Wazowski Amigurumi Pattern Free

This mike wazowski amigurumi pattern free brings to life a small round creature who seems to be waiting for something — one big, gentle eye set into a soft green face, with two tiny paws just barely visible at its sides. I called mine Mike Wazowski the moment the color change happened, green spreading out from that first white ring. If you’ve been wanting to make something quiet and a little strange, start here.

What You’ll Need for This Mike Wazowski Amigurumi Pattern Free

Mike Wazowski is worked in a plush chenille yarn — the kind that makes everything it touches look a little softer, a little rounder, like it was never meant to be sharp-edged. The original uses a 120m/100g plush yarn; if you’re shopping in the US, look for a Bulky (5) chenille such as Bernat Baby Velvet or Premier Parfait, which will give you that same soft, forgiving texture that hides stitch definition. You can confirm the weight category against the Craft Yarn Council’s yarn weight system if you’re substituting a yarn you already have in your stash.

• Yarn: Bulky (5) plush/chenille yarn — small amount of white, small amount of deep green
• Hook: 3.5mm (US E/4)
• Stuffing: polyester fiberfill
• Eye: one 12mm safety eye
• Tapestry needle, for closing the opening and weaving in ends
• Stitch marker, to track where each round begins

The white isn’t just a starting color here — it stays visible at the very center of the eye and reappears in small bobble bumps later, so it’s worth choosing a white that reads clean and bright against the green, not a cream or off-white that will blur the contrast.

Before Mike Wazowski Takes Shape: A Few Notes on Technique

Every character I make starts the same quiet way — a small loop that closes completely, with nothing left behind. If magic rings still feel a little unfamiliar, our magic ring tutorial walks through it slowly, and it’s worth getting comfortable with before you start, since the whole body grows out from that first tiny circle.

You’ll also meet two stitches here that aren’t part of the usual amigurumi vocabulary: the PAW and the BOBBLE. Neither is difficult, but both reward a bit of patience — a PAW that’s rushed can end up looking more like a stray loop than a little foot, and a BOBBLE worked too loosely will sink back into the green. Take your time with these. They’re small, but they’re doing a lot of the work in making this character feel like Mike Wazowski and not just a plain green ball.

Near the end of the body, you’ll also close in with a decrease round. AmiLoops always favors the invisible decrease for a clean, gap-free finish — if you’d like a refresher on the technique before you reach that round, our invisible decrease tutorial covers it step by step.

The Little Monster Amigurumi Pattern: Body & Eye

Mike Wazowski — Body & Eye (make 1)

Yarn: begin in white, changing to green after Round 1
Start: magic ring

Round 1: 8 sc in mr (8)

✨ Sophie’s Note: Before you close this first ring, look at it sitting in your palm — eight small stitches, nothing more. This is the entire beginning of your little monster. Everything that follows grows outward from here.

After Round 1, change to green. Work Round 2 in the back loop only (BLO) — this leaves a small ridge of white showing at the base, which is exactly what starts to shape the eye.

Round 2 (BLO): 8 inc, PAW (16)

Round 3: 3 sc, PAW, 2 sc, PAW, 2 sc, BOBBLE, 2 sc, BOBBLE, 3 sc, PAW, 2 sc (16)

✨ Sophie’s Note: This is the round where the shape stops being a plain circle. Three little paws now reach out from the sides, and two white bobbles sit in the green like tiny stitched freckles. Don’t worry if they don’t line up perfectly symmetrical — a little lopsided is character, not a mistake.

Round 4: 16 sc (16)

After Round 4, decorate the eye: with white, slip stitch around the ring where the white and green meet, fasten off, and weave in the end. Then insert the 12mm safety eye into the center of that white circle. If you haven’t placed safety eyes before, our safety eye tutorial covers how to do it securely, and it’s worth checking the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s guidance on toy safety eyes if your monster is headed for a child’s shelf. Once the eye is locked in place, continue crocheting.

Round 5: 8 dec (8)

Finishing: stuff firmly if you haven’t already, close the opening, fasten off, and weave in the end.

Bringing Mike Wazowski Together

This character doesn’t come apart into separate pieces the way a doll or a dragon does — the body, the paws, and the eye all grow out of the same continuous spiral, so there’s no separate assembly stage where you’re sewing one part onto another. The only real “assembly” moment already happened back in Round 4, when the safety eye locked into place at the center of the white circle.
