My first amigurumi *black metal* doll

Meet my first amigurumi doll!

I wanted to make a really original handmade gift, and after seeing Grimm by croshame I decided to start knitting my very first amigurumi doll! It took 3 days and a whole night, but I like him so much!!!

                 after knitting 7.5 rounds of the head                         after 13 rounds

 

                             after 17 rounds                                       the corpse-paint mouth is on!

All parts are ready! (not assembled yet)

Working with the hair

2 hours later (1/3 of the hair is done)

1.5 hour later (2/3 of the hair is done)

Young Varg in the background (works well for inspiration)

Corpse paint is on and the hair is textured. Let the assembling begin!

Without his spikes and belt he looks rather "depressed"...

tnbm. aaargh!

and... my first amigurumi doll is ready !!!

 

Hey, just hating everything and everyone.

Wishing you a lousy christmas  :P

This doll is definitely contradictory to the style and aesthetic of my other creations, but... hey, just because I make cute and colorful little miniature sweets, it doesn't mean I can't create in other styles as well!  =)

Some links that I found very helpful are:
Grimm by croshame on etsy (my basic inspiration)
Amigurumi Crochet Projects by Crochet Hooks You (I used most of the steps in this tutorial)
How To Crochet A Coraline Doll by Sharon Ojala (how to change into different color yarn- I used it for the arms)

I hope you enjoyed this not-so-ordinary post!
