Creating a Captain Jack Sparrow amigurumi doll brings the iconic Pirates of the Caribbean character to life in yarn form. This detailed pattern guides you through crafting your own 23cm tall Captain Jack, complete with his signature dreadlocks, tricorn hat, and pirate accessories. Perfect for intermediate crocheters, this project takes approximately 10 hours to complete and results in a charming collectible that captures Jack’s distinctive style and personality.

Captain Jack Sparrow Materials Needed

For this project, you’ll need:

  • 2.0mm or 2.5mm crochet hook
  • Cotton yarns in multiple colors:
    • Laminado (beige) for skin
    • Marrom (brown) for jacket
    • Nautical (blue) for vest
    • Tomate (red) for bandana
    • Raiz (light brown) for pants/boots
    • Natural (off-white) for shirt/collar
  • 12mm safety eyes
  • Fiberfill stuffing
  • Yarn needle
  • Brown 100% acrylic wool for hair/dreadlocks
  • Pet grooming brush for texturing the dreadlocks
  • Silicone glue
  • Wire for neck support
  • Mini buckles for belts
  • Various beads for hair accessories

Understanding the Captain Jack Sparrow

The pattern uses standard crochet abbreviations:

  • pb: single crochet
  • pbx: slip stitch
  • corr: chain
  • am: magic ring
  • aum: increase
  • aumT: triple increase
  • dim: decrease
  • mpa: half double crochet
  • blo: back loop only

Feet and Legs Construction

Begin with the light brown yarn (raiz) to create Jack’s boots. Each foot starts with a series of 6 chains worked into an oval shape. After creating the sole with increases in rounds 1-2, work in back loops only for round 3 to create definition. Shape the foot with strategic decreases in rounds 5-6, then work even for several rounds to form the ankle.

Before continuing with the leg, add boot details by working in the remaining back loops from round 3, creating a decorative cuff. The legs extend upward with dark brown yarn for several rounds, maintaining 12 stitches around.

Captain Jack Sparrow Body Construction

The body connects both legs with a chain bridge. This creates a solid foundation with 30 stitches around. Work even for several rounds, then transition to off-white for the shirt area. Create a distinctive pattern by alternating between natural (off-white) and beige (skin tone) yarns for the neck and collar area.

At the narrowest point, insert wire or a hot glue tube to stabilize the neck. This ensures your Jack Sparrow will maintain proper posture when displayed.

Captain Jack Sparrow Arms and Collar

Create the arms beginning with beige yarn for the hands, transitioning to off-white for the sleeves. Close each arm by working across both sides, then attach to the body at round 42. The collar is a simple strip of off-white yarn that encircles the neck area, giving Jack his characteristic pirate shirt look.

Captain Jack Sparrow Head Shaping

The head begins with a magic ring in beige yarn, gradually increasing to 54 stitches at its widest point. Place safety eyes between rounds 15-16, with 8 stitches between them. After several rounds of even stitching, begin decreasing to shape the top of the head. Leave a hollow in the stuffing at the bottom to allow space for inserting the neck.

Creating the Jacket and Vest

Jack’s iconic jacket is worked in brown yarn, using rows rather than rounds. Create armholes with chain spaces, then work around them in subsequent rows. The vest follows a similar construction pattern in blue yarn, with slight modifications to the armhole positioning.

Additional details include a white strip that serves as Jack’s shirt, and three belts made from light brown yarn. The belts are threaded with mini buckles and positioned around Jack’s waist and diagonally across his body.

Captain Jack Sparrow Hair and Accessories

The most distinctive feature of Captain Jack Sparrow is his dreadlocked hair. Create a base cap by crocheting a beanie in brown wool. For each dreadlock, make a chain of appropriate length, work back with taller stitches, then fold and sew the piece lengthwise. Use a pet grooming brush to create texture in each dreadlock.

Sew the dreadlocks to the head, positioning them strategically around the cap. Add beads and other embellishments to mimic Jack’s eclectic hair accessories. Create his red bandana using red yarn and tie it around his head, attaching a coin charm at the front.

The facial features include embroidered eyebrows and mustache, plus a distinctive braided beard made from the same wool as the dreadlocks.

Captain Jack Sparrow Tricorn Hat

Complete your Captain Jack with his signature tricorn hat. Crochet a large circle in brown yarn, increasing to 78 stitches, then work several rounds even. Create the brim by working in front loops only with increases. Fold the hat edges upward and secure them to create the classic three-cornered shape.
