Let's dive into this delightful project and create a spooky-snuggle friend that will be treasured for years to come.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, gather your supplies. This project uses simple, readily available materials that you likely already have in your crafting stash.

Yarn

• Worsted weight yarn in cream (main color) – approximately 200-250 yards
• Worsted weight yarn in black (for eyes and smile) – small amount
• Worsted weight yarn in white (optional, for eye highlights) – tiny amount

Hook and Notions

• 5.0 mm crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge)
• Stitch markers (to keep track of rounds)
• Yarn needle (for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends)
• Polyester fiberfill stuffing (for a plush, squishy feel)
• Scissors

Gauge

4 inches = 16 single crochet stitches and 18 rows in single crochet. Gauge is important for achieving the correct size, but for amigurumi, a slightly tighter tension is often preferred to prevent stuffing from showing through. If your gauge is off, adjust your hook size accordingly.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds unless otherwise noted. Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round. Let's start with the main pieces of your mummy!

Head (Make 1)

The head is worked from the top down, starting with a magic ring.

1. With cream yarn, make a magic ring, work 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring. (6 stitches)
2. Increase (inc) in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. *Sc in next stitch, inc* repeat around. (18 stitches)
4. *Sc in next 2 stitches, inc* repeat around. (24 stitches)
5. *Sc in next 3 stitches, inc* repeat around. (30 stitches)
6. Rounds 6-10: Sc in each stitch around. (30 stitches) – This creates the height of the head.
7. *Sc in next 3 stitches, decrease (dec)* repeat around. (24 stitches)
8. *Sc in next 2 stitches, dec* repeat around. (18 stitches)
9. *Sc in next stitch, dec* repeat around. (12 stitches)
10. Dec around. (6 stitches)

Finishing the head: Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches) for sewing. Stuff the head firmly with fiberfill, shaping it into a smooth, round ball. Set aside.

Body (Make 1)

The body is worked similarly to the head but is slightly larger and taller.

1. With cream yarn, make a magic ring, 6 sc in ring. (6 stitches)

Finishing the body: Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the body firmly, ensuring it's plump and holds its shape well.

Arms (Make 2)

These little stubby arms are quick to make and add to the mummy's charm.

1. With cream yarn, make a magic ring, 6 sc in ring. (6 stitches)
2. Inc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Rounds 3-10: Sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches) – This creates the length of the arm.
4. Dec around. (6 stitches)

Finishing the arms: Fasten off, leaving a tail. Stuff lightly—you want them to be soft and flexible, not rigid. Set aside.

Legs (Make 2)

Similar to the arms but slightly longer for a stable base.

1. With cream yarn, make a magic ring, 6 sc in ring. (6 stitches)
2. Inc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Wrap (Make 1)

This is the signature piece that gives the mummy its bandaged look. It's worked in rows, not rounds.

1. With cream yarn, chain 60.
2. Sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across. (59 stitches)
3. Rows 3-8: Chain 1, turn, sc in each stitch across. (59 stitches)

Finishing the wrap: Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. This will create a rectangular piece that wraps around the body.

Eyes (Make 2)

These cute black circles bring the mummy to life.

1. With black yarn, make a magic ring, 6 sc in ring. (6 stitches)
2. Inc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Finishing the eyes: Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. These will be attached to the face.

Assembly

Now comes the fun part—bringing all the pieces together to create your mummy!

Step 1: Attach the Head to the Body

Using the long tail from the head, sew the head securely to the top of the body. Use a whip stitch or mattress stitch, going through the stitches of both pieces. Make sure the head is centered and sits straight. Weave in the end securely.

Step 2: Attach the Arms

Position the arms on the sides of the body, about 2 inches down from the neck. Use the tails from the arms to sew them in place. Make sure they are symmetrical and at the same height. Weave in the ends.

Step 3: Attach the Legs

Position the legs at the bottom of the body, centered and slightly apart for stability. Sew them on using the tails, ensuring they are secure. Weave in the ends.

Step 4: Apply the Wrap

Take the rectangular wrap piece and wrap it around the body, starting from the bottom and working upward. Overlap the edges slightly to create a layered, bandage-like effect. Important: Leave the face area open so the eyes and smile can be seen. Pin the wrap in place if needed, then sew it securely to the body using the long tail. You can sew it at the top, bottom, and a few spots in the middle to keep it snug.

Step 5: Attach the Eyes

Position the two black eye circles on the face, spaced about 1 inch apart. They should sit in the upper-middle area of the head, just above where the wrap ends. Sew them on securely using their tails. Weave in the ends.

Step 6: Embroider the Smile

Using black yarn and a yarn needle, embroider a small, gentle smile below the eyes. You can make a simple curved line or a slightly wider "U" shape for a friendly expression. Secure the yarn on the inside of the head and weave in the end.

Finishing Touches

Once all pieces are attached, take a moment to check your mummy:

• Weave in all ends securely – This is crucial for durability, especially if it's a toy for a child.
• Adjust the stuffing – If any area feels too soft or lumpy, you can add a bit more stuffing through the gaps before sewing completely closed.
• Shape the wrap – Gently arrange the wrap so it looks natural and cozy.

Optional: Make It a Wearable Costume

If you'd like to turn this plush into a wearable costume for a child or doll, leave the bottom of the body open (don't sew the last round closed). Instead, add a drawstring by threading a piece of yarn or ribbon through the bottom stitches. This way, the mummy can be slipped over a child's hand or a doll's body. Just remember to adjust the stuffing accordingly.
