It’s time! Time for another character pattern release from the Alex In Yarnder Land Series! Hello to you all! I’m Alex and I’m the crochet and tunisian crochet designer behind With Alex and I”m also the creator of the Alex In Yarnder Land character pattern series and short story series. I am absolutely thrilled to share my newest crochet design, The Fates!
The Fates are the fourth character amigurumi pattern release, but don’t assume for even one second that The Fates are one character. Jinx, Serendipity and Kismet have their own jobs and they definitely have their own minds as well!
Alex, Blue Moon, and Aurora Lights have already been released and they each have a free crochet pattern on the Clover Blog. They also have their own short stories on the With Alex Blog. The Alex In Yarnder Land short story series podcast will be released in 2024, but the character short stories are being released with the characters. The character short stories are from the characters point of view and they are like commercials for the podcast short story series featuring Alex as the main character.

The Fates are a strong and mysterious creature that can be nowhere and everywhere at once, meaning they can materialize wherever they are needed but they can still see everything else that is going on. The Fates are not evil or benevolent, they are balance. These sisters consist of a tree trunk for a body covered by a long, flowing gown fit for the goddesses that they are, tree limbs for arms with golden leaves and three heads, each with their own personality.
Read The Fates Introduction Short Story on the With Alex Blog, here.
Serendipity, the middle sister, is the fate of love and good fortune. Her job is to use her spindle to spin a golden string that foretell a person’s future. As she spins the golden string she adds in love, friendship, and good fortune, hopeful that the new baby will have a beautiful life.
Jinx, the oldest of the sisters, is the fate of death, hate, and bad fortune. As Serendipity spins the golden string, Jinx adds in enemies, obstacles and bad fortune, balancing out the good that Serendipity has added in. She also uses her scissors to cut the string, signifying when a person will die but she doesn’t make the decision of when the person will die. That job goes to her younger sister.
Kismet, the youngest of the sisters, is the fate of life and balance. She considers everything that Serendipity and Jinx has added into a person’s life and then she uses her measuring tape to measure out how long that person should live. Kismet sees the whole picture of a person’s life which makes her more compassionate and sympathetic about the being who’s destiny they are creating. When Serendipity and Jinx argue, Kismet is the referee, which can be hard for her because she often wants to side with Serendipity even when Jinx is right.
Serendipity’s purple spindle hangs from one of the tree branch arms and is used to spin the golden thread of a person’s life. The spindle is made from a button, a bead, lobster clasp and a skewer that has been cut to the correct length.
Jinx’s scissors are tucked safely into their golden sash and she uses her scissors to cut the string, signifying when a person will die. Her scissors are made from a wire that has been bent into the correct shape.
Kismet’s golden measuring tape is the golden sash that ties around their waist and she uses this measuring tape to measure out a person’s life. The measuring tape is made from a chain that has been slip stitched and then decorated with a tassel at the other end.
Serendipity’s long hair is crocheted by first making a circle, then crocheting hair strands into the back loops around the circle, and then more hair strands are crocheted in a spiral to the center, using the unworked front loops of the stitches. This is my favorite technique for crocheting/making hair for amigurumi.
Jinx’s hair is worked similarly to Serendipity’s but is crocheted shorter and then glued to the head in a way to create the illusion that the hair is being pulled up into a bun on the top of her head. The bun is a crocheted ball that is glued to the top of the head and then decorated with the same golden leaf that the tree is covered by.
Kismet’s hair is very similar to Jinx but two smaller “space” buns have been added to the top of her head with golden strings tied around the bottom of each crocheted ball or bun.
The body of the Fates is made of a tree trunk that has long, winding roots and curling branches that stretch wide and act as the arms of the creature. The limbs are crocheted with wire in them to make the “arms” strong enough to hold Jinx’s and Kismet’s heads.
The same hook was used for The Fates as for Alex, Blue and Aurora. The Clover Amour Crochet Hook in size G 4.00 mm is perfect to crochet these patterns and I love using it because of the soft handle and how lightweight it is.
The yarn used for The Fates, is also the yarn I used for Alex, Blue and Aurora. I love using Universal Yarn Uptown Worsted to design with because of all the gorgeous colors, how great it frogs because it is anti-pilling acrylic yarn, and most of all because of the softness and feel. This yarn creates squishy stitches that are very defined and beautiful!
Now, let’s get started!

Notes, Tips and Tutorials
Some photo tutorials in this pattern are a different color to be seen better and some photo tutorials in this pattern are from Alex In Yarnder Land Amigurumi or Blue: Man In The Moon Amigurumi, but they teach the same things.
Tips
- This pattern is worked in a continuous round (in a spiral) unless otherwise noted. Mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker.
- No gauge for this pattern but make sure to stay consistent with your stitches.
- You will need more than one stitch marker.Use the handle of the crochet hook or a chopstick to help with stuffing the doll with fiberfill.
- Keep the wire bent away from your face while crocheting around it.
Special Stitches
Invisible single crochet decrease (inv sc dec): insert the hook into the front loop only of the next 2 stitches (image 2), yarn under (image 3) and pull up a loop (image 4), yarn over (image 5) and pull through all of the loops on the hook. (image 6)
single crochet (sc): insert the hook into the next stitch (image 2), yarn under (image 3) and pull up a loop (image 4), yarn over (image 5) and pull through all of the loops on the hook. (image 6)
invisible join: Skip the stitch next to the last stitch made and insert the needle through the next stitch (image 2), pull through and insert the needle into the back loop only of the last stitch made (image 3) and pull through.
sl st 2tog: Insert the hook into the FLO of the next st, insert the hook into the FLO of the next st, yarn over and pull through the loops on the hook
