Gengar Pattern
Yay! Just in time for Halloween, I’m bringing this Gengar pattern for you guys ^^
This is such a coincidence :O I never intended to do Gengar to celebrate the Halloween, I made him as a gift for my boyfriend’s birthday on october, since Gengar is one of his favorite pokemons, but, it was a great coincidence ^^
I really enjoyed the experience of making Gengar and I was very excited to make his back, lol. Well, I really liked the way it turned out and and I gained some experience making him, because I had to do some things that I never did before xD
Let’s go to the pattern :3
Materials:
– Dark purple yarn;
– Red and white felt;
– Fiberfill;
– Black fabric paint;
– Brush;
– 4mm crochet hook;
– 2,5mm crochet hook;
– Tapestry needle;
– Contact glue;
Notes:
– I always do my crochet works using continuous rounds;
– Everytime I will do a crochet work, the first thing I do is take a look in the entirely pattern before start doing it, so, I can have an idea of how the pattern works. Well, I recommend you to do the same;
– For sewing the pieces together you will use the tapestry needle;
– To make the eyes and mouth you will use the felt and the fabric paint.

Assembly:
First, you should sew the two big horns that Gengar has on his head. Then, sew the spikes on his head. After that, you should sew his arms to body, but, before sewing them, you will need to fold the last rows in a way to make it more angulated. For that, please fold in a way that the two last rows on the top will be inside the arms, three last rows on the sides will be into the inside and the last 4 rows from the bottom will be inside the arms. Here are some photos to help you:
Then, sew his fingers to his arms. In next step sew his feet to his legs and the toes to the each foot. Finally, sew the legs, folding the tips, and the tail to the body. To complete it, you need to do his eyes and mouth. I recommend you to first do it in a paper and try to see how it look like on his face. When you get satisfied with the size and shape, you should cut the felt in the desired shape. Then, use the black paint to paint his pupils on the eyes. Before gluing the eyes to his face, you should pin them on his face with an adhesive tape and, so, sew his eyebrows. After that, you should glue the eyes. Then make his smile using white felt and the black paint and glue it to his face.

Consider being more constructive, please look over your comment and write it again properly. For example:
” I really like the design of this gengar, I am having a bit of trouble understanding it and was wondering if you had more pictures to reference? (here you can list specific parts you are having trouble with). Any help would be great, and thank you again for this FREE pattern.”
See, that is much better then just telling someone their pattern is terrible.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
This pattern is written terribly! I had to keep referring to the pictures, of which there are very few as well. Please look over this and write it again properly.
How tall does this measure when finished?
I believe that at Round 26 “10 sc, dec (60)” should be written as “9 sc, dec (60)” instead
Did you ever get this figured out?
I’m new to this and wanted to make something for my boyfriend!
I was wondering what yarn size you used. Did you use a light yarn that recommends 4mm crochet hook?
I also calculated the stitches and came to about 3337 stitches, which means that I would need about 93 yards of yarn. Am I right? Thank you!
Excuse me but I am at a loss here. When I’m doing the Center Middle Spike on the top of the head, how do I sc 6 in rows 7 & 8 when I’m working on the round!?
Also, in “Legs: Row 9 – sc 3, inc, sc, inc, sc, etc”, how did you get 20 stitches when you’re increasing from 27 from Row 8?
I’m looking at the foot section and that seems to be missing rows 7 & 8 in the pattern. Do you know what we do there?
Hi you might not see this but I believe the artist just mislabeled the steps, where row 9 is actually row 7 etc since the foot I made turned out to look similar to the photo without need other step. Try using “row9” decreasing steps as well as “row 10” and compare to the photo if it looks similar shape wise you should be good to go!
Yeah I’m having issues with the leg too… I tried doing the row twice but it doesn’t seem right to me.
Hi I’m trying this pattern as well and I get your confusion. I figured out that you have to alternate decrease and single stitch. So I worked it out as 3 sc, dec, sc, dec, sc, dec sc dec sc dec sc dec sc dec, 4sc. So my last dec would fall on even number 16 and then have 4 sc to get my total number 20. I hope this helps!!
How big is this?

Hola me puede ayudar a saber que significa inc mr sc dec porfavor
Hola!
inc = increase, aumento (2 puntos en un mismo punto)
mr = magic ring, anillo mágico o circulo mágico
sc = single crochet, punto bajo
dec = decrease, disminución
Saludos!
Thanks Mia! Between this and the Mega Charizard, you’ve helped me make two 8 year olds very happy!
Can I have help with legs , rnd 6 has sc 10 , Inc (24) & rnd 11 has sc7 , Inc (27) please help how did u get that x
Sc 10,inc twice and sc 7,inc 3 time
I did this pattern all sorts of wrong and it still managed to turn out epic. Thank you :)

Round 26, do you mean 9 sc dec to get down to the required 60?
I know I am super late to give a response, but in case anyone else needs it in the future.
[ ] = Repeat instructions inside brackets
x # = Repeat instructions this many times
( ) = Total number of stitches at end of row/round
Round 26: 10sc, dec (60) —> [9sc, 1dec] x 6 (60)
Curious as to whether or not you make and sell these? I have ZERO skill at this craft so I can only get ones of this kind of high quality if another makes it
I can make one for you if you like!
How much would it be?
About $30
Got an email?
Yeah, it’s [email protected]
How much yarn does this pattern require?
It took less than a skein for me. I used Caron Simply Soft.
how long did it take for you to complete?
Only took a few hours to crochet all the pieces. Took me another week to sew it all together. (That’s the time consuming part)
You must crochet much looser than I do, it has taken me hours to just get the body done. I use a 2.50mm hook for all of the pattern.
I’mean having huge difficulties in the leg…when I switch from round 8 to row 9, I understand that I just proceed with row 9 after I finish round 8…then do a ch, n turn to do row 10..but the problem is…I ended up with somewhat of a open ended piece…somewhat like a blooming flower with one edge higher (due to the rows) .
Any help is appreciated!
That’s exactly how the leg is supposed to be 😁 When you attach the leg the taller side will be on the outer side of his body and the shorter on the inner/under side. This way he can stand on his legs with the help of his tail.
Ohhh!! Omg. Thank you so much Deb! Really appreciate your reply!!!!
Sorry ..but it says to fold the tips of the legs before sewing it on..which tips do I fold?
Fold the open edges inward just the slightest bit (I think there’s a pic showing this for the arms) Hope this helps 😊
OHHHH you’re supposed to TURN instead of rounding it? No WONDER my leg looks all jacked up lol. Guess I have to do it again
I’m having a super hard time on the eyebrows. They just are so small that they aren’t working out. Any words of advice?
I had the same issue! For the decreases, I just skipped 1 stitch and that helped, but I think I am going to try and rework them in rows and sew them into the tube shape after. It’s just so hard to do a round of 3!
Are you using the smaller needle?
I’m struggling with the eyebrows right now too. I am using the smallest needle. Any help you can offer? Do I want to do a looser stitch?
Hi Mia, just wanted to check if there is a typo on round 26 for the body. Should it be 9sc, Dec (60)?
Hello I just started crocheting the body. At what round do I need to start to put in the fiberfill? Thank you
I’m getting little circular knots for the eyebrows. Am I not supposed to work in circles on them?
Okay I keep getting the body wrong some how. What do I do to increase it properly I keep getting too many stitches. Please someone help explain this to me. I am not new to crochet but I’ve never read patterns before. I always free hand. Please help
Hi Lara, to increase each round, do 2 sc in a stitch then sc in individual stitches per count on pattern. Generally each around increases 1 stitch in between the 2 stitches in a single stitch. So it would be sc2, sc repeated all the way around. Then next row would be sc2, sc, sc, sc2, etc all the way around. Next would be sc2, then sc in 3 individual stitches. Hope this helps
Thank you so much Deb! God Bless You and thanks again!
Hello, I can’t carry on his arm. i don’t understand what does “dec” mean – raw 14. Raw 15 what is it “hdc” ? Thank you
Dec means decrease, crochet 2 together. Anders hdc means half douche crochet. I don’t know how to explain in English. Maybe YouTube will help?
It means half double crochet (hdc)
Hi! In rows 8 and 9 it starts with 27 st and ends with 20 but doesn’t have any decreases?
Hola, consulta que es HDC?????? por favor
Es hermoso,muy agradecida a vos por publicar el patrón,prometo cuando lo termine adjuntar tu link para que vean quien lo creó.
When you go from rounds to rows, like on the spikes on top of the head, do I start my row where the round ended or do I turn and start the row “on top” of the round I just finished? I’m a beginner and taking on a rather ambitious project in this Gengar for my husband, but learning a lot!
Hello! The arm goes from round 10 to 12. Where did 11 go?? Please let me know how to resolve this. Thank you!
When I did the arms, I just did round 12 as round 11 and carried on from there, because the way it increased in the pattern just made it seem like a numbering error
Hi!I don’t understand round 14:-( How so I get to 24 Stiches?
I’m really confused:-(
Greetings from Germany
Replying for anyone else who is trying to make this, to make row 14 of the arm symmetrical and make it add up to 24 I did: sc2, inc, sc3, inc, sc3, dec4, sc3, inc, sc3, inc, sc2, which seemed to work
Hello Mia! I am trying to crochet this for my husband but I got a little confused on the arms, on rounds 15-17, what does “sl” mean? Thank you!
Slip stitch
in the patter MR what does that mean?
It means Magic Ring
Hi, I just found this pattern… MR means Magic Ring or Magic circle.
MR means Magic Ring. :)
MR is short for magic ring
I think she means Magic Ring also called a Magic Circle, its a nice way to start a round,
MR stands for Magic Ring (:
Magic Ring
On the arms you jumped from round 10 to round 12, what do I do for round 11?
Does anyone know if starting with the eyebrows you switch to 2.5mm hook from there on or only for the making of the eyebrows and then back to the larger hook Thanks
When two rows say sc 4 and the last row said sc 8, do I sc 4, then turn and sc 4? Is that the trick?
\Medium middle spike from head (make 1):
Round 1: sc 4 in MR (4)
Round 2: sc in each sc (4)
Round 3: inc (8)
Round 4: sc in each sc (8)
**Row 5: sc 4**
How do I go from 8 to 4? Or am I reading this wrong?
On round 3 it says Inc (8)
Inc means increase
To increase you put 2 single crochet in each of the four stitches and that will give you the total of 8 stitches to work with on round 4.
Hope this helps
You’re going to turn after last round of 8. Stitch 4 sc, turn and stitch 4 sc in prev row’s 4 Sc.
where does it say turn? am i supposed to be turning on all the spikes because i did not.
You’re going to turn after last round of 8. Stitch 4 sc, turn and stitch 4 sc in prev row’s 4 Sc.
GRACIAS!!!!

Hi Mia!
I love your pattern! Thank you so much for posting
Im currently making this, and have a quick question
On the feet, the pattern goes round 4-6 to round 9. Are there rounds 7 and 8?
Thanks :)
Hi, did you ever get a response to this?
did you figure this out by chance?
i have been wondering the same thing and am stuck on the feet part because of this. does anyone know the answer?
I don’t know the answer but what I did was just continued to follow the pattern ignoring that the next rounds were labeled 9 & 10. I basically made 9 & 10, rounds 7 & 8. His feet turned out fine this way. Hope that helps :-)
It helps a lot and they’re perfect xD
Yes it helps thank you
How tall was the finished Gengar?

Can i buy one
I can make you one if you want! It’ll be around $30
I love the pattern but the row 17& 18 foe the tail confuse me.. help me!!!
I think you change from round to ROW 17, hdc 9, chain 1and turn. Continue with ROW 18: hdc 9.
Can you pretty please do a Mewtwo? I know someone else who made a free pattern (Ah creations ) but I think if you did it he would look epic!
I meant to say, even more epic!
I love this! It looks exactly like him! Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you soooo much for posting this! I am still rather new to this, but your pattern was great! My son really liked it :)
Hi Mia, I’m new in crochet and I decided to work on your pattern… But I don’t understand the difference between ’round’ and ‘row’… For example, when I’m elaborating the legs, after round 8 goes row 9, and it decrease 7 stitches… So, how can I elaborate this??
When you finish the last Round don’t do anything special, just continue crocheting the stitchs of the first row. After you have crocheted all the stitches of the first row, ch 1 and turn. Then go on xD It wont go up all the legs anymore, but just a piece of it. You won’t decrease to make it.
Hello, I have been working on your pattern and am wondering if you could elaborate on the legs for me a bit? After round 5 is where I lose all hope. Am I turning the work around once I finish round six then turning again after seven? I would much appreciate your help, this is such an awesome pattern. I must complete! >.<
I’m having the same problem :/
Round 6: (sc 10, inc) reapeat two times (24)
Round 7: (sc 7, inc) repeat three times (27)
Round 8: sc in each sc (27)
** You are going to work in rows from Row 9 on. When you finish the last Round don’t do anything special, just continue crocheting the stitchs of the first row. After you have crocheted all the stitches of the first row, ch 1 and turn. Then go on xD It wont go up all the legs anymore, but just a piece of it.
Row 9: sc 3, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc 3 (20)
Thank you so much! I’m hoping to finish this tonight. I’m so excited. :)
I wanted to crochet the whole face. I got the eyes done but I’m not sure how to do the smile? Do you have any suggestions for a pattern?
You may try someting similar to that: http://www.crochetgeek.com/2008/07/blog-post_18.html
Hi Mia
My name is Mia and I will make this gengar as a gift for my BF too =)
He will also get his personal bag with some pokéballs and a Big Masterball. This will be his b-day/x-mas gift
Thank you for the pattern =) I will take a pic when I’m done =)
Hi Mia! That’s awesome! I Love the idea of the bag with pokeballs and a big masterball!
You are welcome! I will be waiting for the photo! ^^
Hi, I’ve been working with your pattern and I’m confused as to how the legs are supposed to be attached to the body. The folding part of the legs confuse me.
So do I fold the rows inside the leg?
because right now it looks nothing like your model.
It’s like they are way wider and not long enough. I would appreciate a detail view from under Gengar. Because so far it’s the only part I don’t quite grasp.
Hi! I’ve been following this pattern and I just cannot work out what I’m supposed to do with the legs…. it says rounds, so are you just supposed to start row 10 after row 9 even though you won’t have gotten all the way around? I’m sorry, I’ve been working on this for months now and I really want to be done with it so I can gift it! :)
Hi, Angela,
When you finish Round 8 you continually start Row 9. Then, when you have done the last stitch of row 9, you will ch1 and turn to start Row 10.
So, yes, you start row 10 even though you won’t have gotten all the way around xD
Ahhhh, that explains why the legs I’ve made all look so weird! Thank you! :)
Anyone know where I could find a good Gengar HAT pattern (crochet or knitting)?
Sorry, I don’t know any >.< You may try to look on ravelry, maybe there's something there.
Couldn’t you just do a purple hat follow say, Sarah from RepeatCrafterMe’s basic hat pattern (http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2013/01/crochet-puppy-hat-pattern.html) and then if MiaHandcrafter is okay with it, use the spikes and facial details from her lovely pattern here to make it? Sorry it was just an idea I thought of when reading this!
It is a great idea! :D I don’t see any problem, just give the credits for Sarah (hat) and for me (Gengar details) ^_^
I adapted this pattern into a hat…Will post pics soon…Gengar is my son’s favorite!
That’s great!! Can’t wait to see it!! Aawn cool!! I can imagine how excited your son may be! :3
Hello! I love this pattern but I’m having a problem with the stitch count on round 20. i keep getting 66 stitches rather than 64 and i was wondering how you did round 20 and got 64 stitches?
you and i both are getting 66 i though i was miscounting and removed a whole round but i keep getting 66
Hi, Rosario,
I’m sorry about that :S I mistyped, the correct it is 66 stitches.
Hi, Brittany,
I’m glad you love it! I’m sorry about that :S I mistyped, the correct it is 66 stitches.
Hi…love the pattern so farm.Im having trouble with the eyebrows..mine dont seem long enough..they are more round..are they done in round or row?
Hi Michelle,
I’m glad you love it ^^ They are done in Rounds. I made them very tight.
I don’t understand how the eyebrows can be done in rounds. It makes a weird string across them, because of how many stitches you start with
Thank you for posting this!! This is my husbands favorite pokemon and now I can make one for his birthday!!!! :)
You are very welcome!! ^_^ I would love to see a photo, when you finish!
This is so good! I love it
Thank you!! ^_^
Thank you so much!!! This is a very good pattern :DD
You are very welcome!! Thank you too! ^^
Hi,
I noticed that Round 11 is missing, was that just a numbering error?
Also, what is “sl” is that slip stitch?
Thank you!

Hi, Cristina :)
Thank you so much for your comment! It was just a numbering error and “sl” it was supposed to be “sl st” (slip stitch). I will correct this ^^
Cheers ^^
Hello!
Thanks so much for this pattern. I also am making this for my boyfriend – Gengar is his fave poke – there’s definitely a pattern!
I just wanted to please ask you for some extra help. I’m having loads of trouble trying to sew the feet to the legs and then working out what angle I have to attach the legs to the body. Can you please let me know what angle I need to sew the feet onto? The legs are sort of trapezium shape and all slanty and I can’t figure out where to put the fold.
Many thanks!
Hi Emiko90! ^^
You are very welcome! Haha, it is being such a coincidence about gengar and boyfriends, lol :p Thank you so much for your compliment! Also, sorry for the late reply, I have been very busy studing for my college exams :T
Well, I will try my best to help you, because his legs are, for sure, the most annoying part of this pattern, haha. First, I recommend you to sew the legs to the body and only after that sew the feet. You should position the shorter side of the leg to the inside, this means that the shorter side of each leg should be facing each other. The longest side should be facing the outside. Well, when you position the legs like that, you should pin them with 2 stitches just to have an idea how it is looking like. After that, I recommend you to stuff it a bit and, then, fold the square tips inward, so, you will be able to sew it correctly. After that, sew the legs. I hope I’ve helped :s
I think I will need to make a photo tutorial explaning that in the future, it will make this part a lot easier x3
Hello! I’m currently making this and it’s looking great! I have a quick question though: For the last two rows of the large and small spikes on the top of the head, did you mean that I should sc 6/4 then turn and sc 6/4, or maybe slipstitch 6/4 then sc 6/4? Otherwise I’m not sure what the difference would be from just sc around ^_^;;. Just want to make sure I get it right! Thanks!
Hi there! ^_^ Sorry for just answer your question now, I’m a little busy this days >.< Well, I forgot to explain in the pattern, lol. Thank you for your question! and you are welcome! Well, when you finish the last "Round" of the spikes, just start the next "Row", that it will be crochet 6/4 sc, then turn to make the next row(if it has another row), then ch1 and do last 6/4 sc on the final row. It is to work in rows in the end and not in rounds. I usually ch1 to turn, while crocheting in rows. The purpose of doing this is to let the spike inclined after sewn. If it is possible, I would love to see a photo of your Gengar, when you finish it! ^_^
Thank you for your reply! I didn’t notice that the pattern changed from “Rounds” to “Rows” so that makes a lot of sense! I’ll definitely post a photo of Gengar when it’s done. Thanks so much!
What is it with boyfriends and Gengar? I will certainly be using this pattern for my Poke-guy. Thanks so much for posting this!
Lol!! I don’t know, it seems to have a consensus between boyfriends, haha. You are very welcome!! ^^
:D hello Mia! Gengar is my boyfriends favorite pokemon too and I was surfing the web to find some way to knit it for him <3 for Christmas~ I don't really know how to crochet…
but i was wondering how big the gengar is? and how long this took you? :X
Hi Annabel! :D
Yay, it will be a great gift, he will love it!~
If I’m not mistaken, he measures about 25cm tall. Well, I’m not very good on estimating time, lol, but I think you would be able to crochet it in two weeks :p
A good way to learn some things about crochet is to search on Youtube, there are a lot of very good tutorials in there ^^ If you need any help while doing gengar, feel free to ask me. It will be a pleasure to help.
:D thanks a bunch mia! I will for sure ^^
