Take Your Amigurumi to the Dark Side
To achieve the haunting yet adorable look of the deaths-head hawk moth, you’ll use a grayish-brown yarn for the body, a cream or white for the skull-like marking on its back, and a touch of pale yellow for the finer details.
These colors work together to give your moth the iconic look it's known for.
To add even more texture and realism to your crochet moth, you’ll use a slicker brush to fluff up the yarn, making it soft and fuzzy—just like a real moth’s wings!
