Because I both game and crochet (and knit, and cross-stitch), I am always happy when I find the intersection between geek fandoms and crafty creativity. And the Assassin’s Creed IP has tons of ways to smash the two facets of my interests together. Today, I’ve gathered patterns from various crafts themed for Assassin’s Creed in this post, just for you! OK, OK I know you’re impatient.

Assassin’s Creed Inspires Your Imagination

If you are a fan of the Assassin’s Creed games, like I am, then you’ve almost definitely imagined yourself scaling buildings wearing one of the game’s most recognizable features: The hooded cowls that the player characters wear that cover their head and come down into a point over the face, partially masking the Assassin wearing it.

When I first got into Assassin’s Creed, I imagined Altaïr or Ezio scaling every cool building I saw. Any cool building, I would say to myself, hey self, that building would be cool as hell to climb up, as if I personally have any ability to climb anything more than a ladder. And I get vertigo on ladders!

I’ve played Assassin’s Creed since the very first game, and at the time the mechanics in the game were so limitless. Climbing up buildings by clinging to their facades was just incredibly cool.

I mean, it still is. While game engines have expanded in capabilities so more and more games include climbing functions, the ability to climb almost everything is such a game changer for how one plays a game. Even with the glitches that came with Assassin’s Creed Unity, I had so much fun scaling up the sides of Paris’ limestone buildings.

Ok, ok I know you’re impatient. Here’s the Assassin’s Creed Crochet and Cross-stitch Content you’ve been waiting for!

Assassin’s Creed Crochet Patterns

Cowl

The ubiquitous Assassin’s Cowl is probably the most beginner-friendly and popular Assassin’s Creed crochet project. There are several patterns out there for free, along with some you have to pay for.

The Assassins Creed Inspired Scoodie is a free Ravelry download. The pattern designer, Kristen’s Kords mentions a few other patterns she was inspired by, one of which is a discontinued AC scarf with the hood. This crochet pattern is written for an adult sized head, while a few other ones I looked at might be more for a child’s head.

There is another pattern with the same name also available on Ravelry as a free download. I am not sure which would be better as they look similar, but both are free so I am linking them here.

You do need a Ravelry account to be able to download those patterns, but it’s free and if you are a fiber crafter you likely already have an account so no worries there.

If you venture onto Etsy you’ll find several patterns available for download. I don’t know what the deal is with Etsy these days though, is it still a place where people can actually get handmade things from? Etsy’s quality has dipped, and it seems like drop-shippers reign supreme. I am not sure if they are the online destination to shop for handcrafted goods anymore. It all comes down to whether they actively keep non-handcrafted goods off their site, and uphold their their policies fidelity.

Assassin’s Creed Amigurumi

If you’re more proficient in crochet you might want to make an Assassin’s Creed Amigurumi. Amigurumi are the little stuffies that people crochet, and the possibilities are really limitless

Ezio Sackboy

The Ezio Sackboy doll is so, so cute. Stuffies are amazing. Sadly, I am not great at making stuffies with crochet. One of my goals is to get better at this part of crochet. This doll is great. It’s a bit bigger than a lot of the tiny amigurumi that you see online. I have a hard time with the smaller-scale stuffie patterns, maybe I’m just not dextrous enough but I feel like I am fumbling whenever I try to make a tiny stuffie.

Assassin’s Creed Cross Stitch Pattern

Back in 2018, I went through a cross-stitch phase. Obsessed, I sought out tons of patterns on Etsy and bought lots of pdfs. I was going to become a factory of cross-stitch projects. That’s a bit of self-deprecation in my tone, yes. I quickly realized I have very, very little patience for counted cross-stitch. I love the finished look of a cross-stitch pattern. My mother used to cross-stitch incredibly intricate designs. And my auntie is an amazing cross-stitcher. However, I have ADHD and, well, when I don’t see results I lose interest. It’s a bit embarrassing how many abandoned cross-stitch projects I have nestled away in totes.

One of the cross-stitch patterns I purchased was an Assassin’s Creed cross-stitch pattern. I made it fairly far into the pattern before I got tired of it and left it to collect dust.

I looked on Etsy for this pattern and unfortunately, it is not available on Etsy anymore. However, worry not, there are more out there similar to it. Etsy’s search SUCKS though, I was having trouble making it display anything on topic so I suggest you search Google first.

Other Crochet and Knitting Patterns

There are a few crochet and knitting patterns here on my site, but none for Assassin’s Creed. That’s why I rounded these up just for you!

So I am posting the link to the Bee Stitch Dishcloth here so it won’t be completely lost. I’ve always wanted to knit this cloth but didn’t get a chance to before it was discontinued. Now I might have a shot at it.

So, I am posting it here mostly for my personal use. I have noticed my blog gets a tiny amount of traffic related to knitting searches so maybe someone will see it but mostly it will be for myself.

Grandmother’s Favorite – The Original

Grandmother’s Favorite Dishcloth
Designer: Unknown
Rating: Easy
Materials: Any cotton yarn yarn; Size 6 or 7 needles (US)

Instructions:

Cast on 4 stitches

Row 1: Knit 4

INCREASE
Row 2: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across the row.

Repeat Row 2 until you have 44 stitches* on the needle.

*Note: You can increase until you have the number of stitches you want. I personally don’t like HUGE dishcloths so I usually start the decrease around 40 stitches but I’ve also made even smaller ones that start the decrease at like 36 stitches. It’s really up to you.
*Second note: The reason I don’t like huge dishcloths is because once they get wet they’re all floppy and I find it more efficient to not have to fold the dishcloth over itself. But it’s totally your prerogative.

DECREASE
Row 3: Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to the end of the row.

Repeat Row 3 until you have 4 stitches on the needle.

Once you have four stitches you can bind off or do a round of single crochet and make a little loop of chain stitches in one corner so you can hang the cloth to dry when you are finished using it.

Again, this pattern is not mine!
