A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

This free crochet boba tea pattern makes a winking amigurumi bubble tea cup with a domed lid, a chunky pink straw and tapioca pearls. The boba tea plushie is milk-tea beige with a caramel band at the bottom, a white lid, coral cheeks, two tiny arms and a ring of puffy dark brown pearls. It is worked from the flat base up in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and is about 14.5 cm (5.7 in) tall with the straw, with one 14 mm safety eye, an embroidered wink and the pearls sewn on as lightly padded circles. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every pearl goes.

How to crochet the Boba Tea

Intermediate · 15 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 18 pieces in rounds: Cup, Straw, Arm ×2, Cheek ×2, Tapioca pearl ×12 (54 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 5 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.
