This is the second addition to the Wizard Fantasy Bundle! I’ve been wanting to make a
mandrake amigurumi for well over a year. I hope this pattern looks good, my favorite part
has to be the roots coming off of his arms and legs.

Mandrakes, what are they? They actually don’t originate from Harry
Potter!

They have a centuries long history. So far back that the mandrake plant is actually
mentioned in well known works such as the Book of Genesis. The plant (mandragora
officinarum) is referenced through many ancient books to cure ailments such as
depression, infertility, joint pain, diseases, and was even used as an anesthetic. However,
take even slightly too much of the plant and you’ll be met with hallucinations, or worse,
death.

Dancing with death is common when dealing


with the mandrake.

According to folklore, uprooting a mandrake

https://stringydingding.com/mandrake-amigurumi-free-crochet-pattern/[31.05.2021 00:44:18]
Mandrake Amigurumi - Free Crochet Pattern - StringyDingDing

was a dangerous job. Simply pulling a


mandrake from the ground would result in an
ear-piercing scream from the humanoid-
looking plant and would kill the novice
gardener.
“File:Pseudo-Apuleius, Herbarium.

It’s no surprise that this made the


plant even more sought after.

Those desperate enough to retrieve the plant


for it’s health benefits would still have to risk
a life. It’s said that the gardener would have
to tie a rope around a dog’s neck like a leash,
then tie the other end of the rope to a
mandrake’s root. The gardener would then
throw the dog a treat, and as the dog would
run towards the treat, the gardener would plug
his ears. The force of the dog’s running would uproot the mandrake, and the scream would
kill the dog rather than the gardener who plugged his ears.

With a lot of folklore, people pass it off as “Well that was just an old
story they would tell!”

I have to admit that I can believe this one, though. The “how to safely uproot a mandrake”
guides span across many cultures and are presented in an educational sense rather than an
entertainment sense.

A plant that holds such strong powers to cure the biggest ailments probably doesn’t want to
be touched for a reason. Maybe that’s why the plant will give you hallucinations and death
if you ingest too much –  because you weren’t supposed to. Magicians and those who
practiced witchcraft would seek out this plant. It seems to bear some dark energy, so I
suggest staying away from this plant and never ingesting it.

With that dark history, let’s crochet a cute non-lethal


mandrake!
