Nezuko Amigurumi

Creating a handmade Nezuko amigurumi doll from Demon Slayer is a rewarding project for anime fans and crochet enthusiasts alike. This detailed guide walks you through creating your own miniature version of this beloved character, complete with her distinctive bamboo muzzle, black and pink kimono, and characteristic hairstyle.

Nezuko Amigurumi Essential Materials

To create this charming Nezuko doll, you’ll need:

  • Cotton yarn in multiple colors: peach/nude (for skin), black (for hair), pink (for kimono), red (for haori jacket), white (for socks), green (for bamboo muzzle), and yellow (for decorative elements)
  • 2.0 mm crochet hook
  • 6 mm safety eyes
  • Sewing needles
  • Synthetic cotton filling for stuffing
  • Yarn needle for finishing details

Understanding the Pattern Nezuko Amigurumi

This pattern uses standard crochet abbreviations including:

  • Single crochet (sc)
  • Increase (inc)
  • Decrease (dec)
  • Chain (ch)
  • Front loop (FL)
  • Back loop (BL)
  • Magic ring (MR)
  • Half double crochet (hdc)

Nezuko Amigurumi Creating Arms and Legs

Start by creating the arms using nude-colored yarn. Begin with a magic ring of 6 stitches, increasing to 8 stitches in round 2. For the black sleeve sections, create a chain of 8 stitches and join with the first chain to form the starting point. Work single crochets around to complete the arms.

For the legs, begin with white yarn for the socks. Create a magic ring of 8 stitches, increase to 16, then work through back loops only to create the texture for round 3. Transition to black for the shoes in rounds 4-10, maintaining 10 stitches per round. When finished with the second leg, leave a length of yarn to connect to the body.

Nezuko Amigurumi Crafting the Body

The body connects both legs using nude-colored yarn. Create a chain to bridge between the legs, then work single crochets around both legs and the chain to form the base of the body. For round 1, work 22 stitches total, maintain this count for rounds 2-3, then follow the decreasing pattern to shape the waist and torso.

In rounds 9-11, you’ll incorporate both arms by working stitches that grab points from opposite sides of each arm simultaneously. This secures them firmly to the body. Continue decreasing for rounds 12-14 to complete the torso.

Nezuko Amigurumi Shaping the Head

The head begins with a magic ring of 6 stitches in nude yarn, increasing gradually to reach 36 stitches at its widest point. Maintain this count for rounds 7-14, placing the safety eyes between rounds 11-12 with approximately 6 stitches between them. Begin decreasing in round 15 to shape the top of the head, continuing the decrease pattern until you reach just 8 stitches in round 19.

Creating Nezuko’s Distinctive Features

The hair begins with black yarn and a magic ring of 6 stitches, increasing to 18 stitches by round 3. For her signature hair strands, create 20 chains in black, 6 chains in peach (for her gradient hair tips), return to 5 single crochets in peach, and 20 single crochets in black. Repeat this sequence 18 times to create all her hair strands, then arrange and stitch them to her head.

For the bamboo muzzle that’s iconic to her character:

  1. Create a magic ring of 5 stitches in green yarn
  2. Work through back loops for 5 single crochets
  3. Complete 2 rounds of 5 single crochets
  4. Close with yarn needle
  5. Attach to her mouth and add a red thread from the bamboo to the back of her neck

Nezuko Amigurumi Making the Kimono and Haori

For the pink kimono, work in rows rather than rounds. Start with a foundation chain of 26, then decrease one stitch per row until you reach row 9 with 19 single crochets and a slip stitch. Edge the entire kimono with white single crochets for the characteristic trim.

The red haori (outer jacket) follows a similar construction pattern but with 21 chains for the foundation. Decrease similarly through each row until you reach 15 single crochets in row 9. Work single crochets around the entire piece to finish the edges.

Conclusion

Creating a Nezuko amigurumi doll allows you to combine your passion for crochet with your love for anime. The detailed pattern creates a recognizable character with all her distinctive features—the bamboo muzzle, two-toned kimono, colorful belt, and signature black hair with pink tips.

The construction technique, building from the legs upward with strategically placed increases and decreases, ensures proper proportions and stability. The separate elements—arms, head, hair strands, kimonos, and accessories—come together to form a cohesive character that captures Nezuko’s essence.

For best results, pay careful attention to color placement, especially in the hair strands where black transitions to peach, and in the intricate belt pattern where red and white create the characteristic braided look. Take time with the facial details, as they bring your Nezuko to life and give her recognizable expressions.
