Jack Skellington Free Crochet Pattern

This Jack Skellington crochet pattern brings the beloved Pumpkin King to life in a stylized, amigurumi form packed with expressive detail and clever construction. The finished figure stands tall and slender, with elongated limbs and a slightly oversized head, true to Jack’s skeletal silhouette from The Nightmare Before Christmas. The pattern begins with the legs, crocheted in black yarn and worked separately before being joined with slip stitches and continuous rounds to form the base of the body. Special care is taken to avoid holes between the legs during assembly, with suggestions to decrease where needed for a clean join. From there, the body is shaped gradually, giving Jack a slightly rounded belly that’s stuffed progressively from round 8 onward for a balanced structure.
