In this video, you’ll learn how to crochet a fuzzy little moth, specifically the spooky deaths-head hawk moth.

Known for the eerie skull-like marking on their back, these moths may seem intimidating, but this is one moth you’ll be happy to find nestled in your yarn collection!

For today’s project, Complicated Knots guides you through the process, teaching you how to make this striking amigurumi creature using eight-ply 100% acrylic yarn (also known as DK) in three main colors, paired with a 3.5 mm crochet hook.

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.
