You can’t play love games without the fuzzy little man peach himself, Howard Moon! What do you think of him? Make an assessment. This is an Intermediate+ level pattern with lots of different parts and sewing required. The Howard Moon Doll is made with the head and body in one piece, so no worrying about wobbly necks. Making this doll is a bit of a marathon, but it’s worth it to have a friend to take fishing while you listen to some smooth jazz. Be sure to check out our Old Gregg Doll.

This crochet amigurumi pattern is perfect for neurodiverse crafters. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics, making it easier to understand what you need to do in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give our patterns a try!
