3. Robe:

With black yarn, chain 30 or a number of stitches to reach the desired width of the robe.
Sc in each stitch across.
Continue crocheting rows of sc until the robe reaches the desired length, covering the body and most of the legs. You can try the robe on the amigurumi to determine the right length.
Fasten off and weave in the yarn end.

4. Hood:

With black yarn, chain 15 or a number of stitches to reach the desired width of the hood opening.
Sc in each stitch across.
Continue crocheting rows of sc, increasing 1 stitch at each end of each row until you have a desired hood depth.
Fasten off and weave in the yarn end.
Sew the sides of the hood together to create a cone shape.

5. Scythe:

The handle of the scythe can be crocheted using the same method as the legs (see step 6 below). Use gray yarn for the handle.
The blade of the scythe can be cut from felt or cardboard and painted black. You can also crochet a flat blade using black yarn, but this may be more challenging for beginners.

6. Legs (make 2):

With black yarn, chain 10 or until desired leg length.
Sc in each stitch along the chain. Fasten off and weave in the yarn end.

7. Eyes:

You can embroider small white circles onto the head for the eyes, with black pupils, or sew on safety eyes.

8. Assembly:

Sew the head onto the body.
Sew the robe onto the body, draping it over the legs.
Sew the hood onto the head, positioning it so that it frames the face.
Attach the scythe to the hand of the grim reaper using a small amount of yarn or sewing thread.
Sew the legs onto the bottom of the robe, positioning them evenly spaced.
