25+ Goblincore Crochet Patterns
This aesthetic has been all over my Pinterest board lately, and in our YouTube community, a few of you have requested that I share a crochet round-up inspired by this aesthetic and it is Goblincore.
Goblincore is all about finding beauty and inspiration in the wild, weird and imperfect parts of nature. It’s similar to fairycore or cottagecore but more about celebrating the damp, mossy trinkets that are tucked away in the dirt like shiny rocks, acorns, mushrooms and rusty trinkets.
We can embrace it by mixing textures, scraps and different yarn fibers to make our crochet work look raw and earthy. And the color palette is deep mossy greens, muddy browns, rusty oranges, muted neutrals and rich maroons.
You can play with bobby stitches to mimic pebbles, fuzzy yarns that remind you of moss, heavy chunky wools, and lean more toward natural and organic shapes such as crooked lines, and uneven, raw edges.
So in this video, I’ve gathered a collection of Goblincore-inspired crochet patterns that really capture this vibe. I separated them into five different categories: Amigurumi, Accessories, Home Decor, Granny Square and Clothing. And as always, you can find each of the patterns linked on my blog which is in the description box below.
So go ahead and grab a cozy cup of tea, and your current WIP, and let’s get started.
Amigurumi
First is the Pazz the Goblin by White Bramble Studio, and this little guy is such a fun way to bring the Goblincore vibe into your crochet. It’s worked in worsted weight yarn, making him a nice sturdy make with just the right amount of squish. It’s more intermediate to create, and I loved the little capulet on him but of course you can get creative and make some other clothes for him as you like. And this one is free in Ribblr.
Or make the Cute Goblin by Libi Crochets. I love that this one was a cute plushy with that Himalaya koala yarn. It’s intermediate level to create and free on their Ribblr, and if you work it up with this yarn since it’s bulky weight it would work up quite quickly which is nice.
Another great pattern is the Pinch the Goblin by MJ Carlos, and it’s a paid pattern on their website. There are a lot of steps by step photos for this one, and I love all the little details on this one, like the little bag. You could put some little coins or shiny stones in it, because goblins love shiny treasures of course.

This one is intermediate to make and a paid pattern on their website. The special stitches are the invisible decrease, spiky bobble stitch, and bobble stitch, and I loved that this one was part of a collection of other characters including trolls, orcs, ogres and hobogoblins, so it would be fun to create a whole bunch of these characters and create a whole little collection of them.
