Today I’m going to show you how I made a Labubu inspired amigurumi monster in this free crochet tutorial. Right up front I want to say that no AI was used in the making of this pattern. This pattern actually took me a long time to make because I created it from the ground up. I have the sore hands and numb fingers to prove this, lol.
I’ve actually decided to cut back on Ai content and go back to making crafts and art again. So here we are.
I put a lot of time and effort into making this pattern and I hope you like it. I made 3 completely finished Amigurumi Labubu monsters total (and about 7 million frogged ones -lol).
Remember you can also watch the video tutorial on my YouTube channel: Tiffany Bliss.

For the face:
Eyes
- Cut two ovals out of white felt.
- To give the eyes a sewn on look, use embroidery thread to stitch around the edge of the ovals with white embroidery thread, leaving a small seam allowance.
- Cut out two smaller ovals out of black felt for the pupils.
- Sew the pupils onto the white ovals using black embroidery thread.
- Add a few stitches of white embroidery thread to the edge of the eyes for the illusion of light reflection.
Nose
- Using your choice of yarn color, make a small nose in the bottom center of the face. Make sure to leave room for a smile and teeth that will be added later.
Assembling the top part of the face.
- Using a fabric or felt glue, attach the eyes to the sides of the nose.
- Use the same color worsted weight yarn you used for the face and use a yarn needle to place eyebrow/eye lids slightly overlapping the eyes.
Mouth
- Using black yarn, stitch on a very wide mouth. The corners should meet at about the center of each eye.
- Cut out 9 small triangles for the teeth. Glue them to the bottom edge of the mouth.
And that’s it! You’ve made an amigurumi Labubu!
