Here is a Devil Fruit amigurumi inspired from the One Piece anime and live action Netflix series. I recently watched the live action series and really enjoyed all the characters and storyline on pirates, and so I thought it would be fun to release a free crochet pattern for my version of the Gomu Gomu no Mi (aka gum gum fruit).
This is the fruit which Monkey D. Luffy, our main character, eats as a young boy, and it gives him stretchy powers. Alas, it also comes with a curse as all those who consume the devil fruit lose their ability to swim.
It’s a bit of an alarming fate for any pirate sailing the Blue Sea. Nevertheless, Luffy is quite determined though to find the One Piece treasure and become the King of the Pirates!
The features of this crochet Gum Gum Devil Fruit amigurumi include a purple fruit base with swirls of textural S curves, and a light green stem at the top.
The design looks complicated, but it’s actually quite simple. The fruit base is an amigurumi sphere. Then I crochet a bunch of chains that can be molded into S shapes and sew it all down onto the fruit base.
The sewing of the S’s is the hardest and tedious part of the pattern, but the end result with the nice textural sculpture is worth it!
Recently I was dog sitting and created a Luffy pet costume for Tobi. I crocheted him a red vest, a straw hat, and of course he wouldn’t be complete without his devil fruit amigurumi accessory.
Instead of Monkey D. Luffy, he is Doggy D. Luffy! See this cute video reel I made of him as Doggy Luffy. I posted it on my Instagram, and I was super ecstatic when the music composer of One Piece live action, Sonya Belousova, also shared it as an IG story on her account.
Anyways I hope you enjoy making this Gomu Gomu no Mi amigurumi. The free written pattern and video tutorial can be found below. You can also tag me with your projects on Instagram @ami_amour, I’d love to see! And let me know if there’s any other devil fruits you’d like to see me take on.
