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

Free crochet squishy pattern: a Mystery Squishy Dumpling amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. The cream bun is round and puffy, with beige pleats swirling up to a pinched top, tiny black dot eyes, big pink cheeks, a little "w" smile and a pink tongue poking out. You need about 40 m of yarn: 35 m white and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 1 hour. Small and soft, it fits in a pocket and makes a sweet surprise gift or a stress ball for a desk. You can spin the 3D model from every side and follow the pattern round by round.

How to crochet the Mystery Squishy Dumpling

Beginner-friendly · 8 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 4 pieces in rounds: Dumpling, Pinched top, Cheek ×2 (33 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 3 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.

    1. Dumpling is the base; its magic ring is at the top.
    1. Pinched top → dumpling. Centre: at the centre of the magic ring. Sew the piece on by its closed end (last rounds); it touches round 1 of the dumpling (all the way round). It points up. Press it into the base by about 3 mm.
    1. Cheek → dumpling (make 2). Centre: between rounds 15 and 16, 7 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left (the one on the toy's left is described; sew the other as its mirror image). Sew it flat all round its edge; it covers rounds 13–18 of the dumpling, about 5 st wide.

    The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.

    • Satin stitch (on the dumpling) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in black thread, a oval about 5 mm wide and 5.5 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 14, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left .
    • Embroidery in brown thread (on the dumpling), straight stitches through: (in round 15, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 15 and 16, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 15, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 15 and 16, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 15, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
    • Satin stitch (on the dumpling): in tongue thread, a oval about 4 mm wide and 4.5 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 16, on the centre front line .
    • Embroidery in pleat thread (on the dumpling), straight stitches through: (between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 3 and 4, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 6 and 7, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
    • Embroidery in pleat thread (on the dumpling), straight stitches through: (between rounds 1 and 2, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 3 and 4, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 6 and 7, 7 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
    • Embroidery in pleat thread (on the dumpling), straight stitches through: (between rounds 1 and 2, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 3 and 4, 5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 6 and 7, 11.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
    • Embroidery in pleat thread (on the dumpling), straight stitches through: (between rounds 1 and 2, 1 st from the centre back line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 3 and 4, 1.5 st from the centre back line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 6 and 7, 2 st from the centre back line, toward the toy's left ).
