Free crochet dumpling pattern: a Dumpling Keychain amigurumi, about 6 cm tall in fingering yarn with a 2 mm hook. A cream half-moon dumpling with pleats along the top edge has a calm little face with rosy cheeks, a golden bottom and a silver ring on top. You need about 40 m of yarn: 15 m cream, 10 m ivory, 5 m caramel, 5 m silver and 5 m blush pink. Plan on roughly 1 hours. Clip it to a bag or a set of keys, or give it to someone who loves dumplings. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern at your own pace.

- Size before assembly: an oval about 6.9 × 3.9 cm at the widest, 4.3 cm long; 21 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the bottom of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 5 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
- With caramel: ch 12.
- Change to cream (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R5).
