CROCHET BLOCK PARTY PATTERN

These blocks are being used to create a quilt made by members of a crochet group that meets at our local library. For video tutorials on how to complete all the stitches used in this pattern and more go to my crochet basics page.

Materials: 5mm crochet hook (size H), scissors, a yarn needle, Mainstays #4 medium acrylic yarn any color. Gauge: 10 stitches and 11 rows are 3”x 3”

Terminology SN (slip knot) CH (chain stitch), SC (single crochet)

1. . Make a slip knot SN (slip knot) CH (chain stitch) 22 stitches. CH one additional stitch as your turning stitch. *every row will end with a CH as your turning stitch to keep the sides of your square straight and even

2. Row 1– Single Crochet (SC) into the first stitch from the stitch you are in. Make sure to insert your hook in both loops of the stitch. It might look like you have two loops, but they are part of the same stitch.  Yarn over and pull through. You should have two loops on your hook, yarn over again and pull through. You should be left with one loop on your hook. SC like this in each stitch across the row to complete this row with 22 stitches. CH one as your turning stitch and turn your work to start your next row.

3. Row 2-Row 24 Repeat what you did in row 1 until 24 rows have been completed. To keep track of your rows, use a pencil and piece of paper and make a mark each time you complete a row. Cut your yarn leaving a 6-inch tail. Pull that tail through the last loop on your hook to fasten off your project.

If you have scrap yarn this is an excellent way to use it up and make something really creative.  All yarns should all be acrylic, medium weight #4 yarns that are 100% machine washable.

If you use a brand of yarn other than the ones listed below you may need to adjust the pattern in terms of the number of rows or stitches. If you stay with a #4 medium yarn that is 100% acrylic and machine washable you should be fine. If you adjust the pattern/yarns just make sure the block is 6” x 6” when it is finished to facilitate connecting them.

Terminology Magic Circle, SN (slip knot) , CH (chain stitch), SL (slip stitch), SC (single crochet)

Stem

1. Round 1-With your white yarn make a magic circle and crochet 5 SC (single crochet) into the center. You can also make a SN (slip knot) and CH 5 and then Slip Stitch into your first chain. Then make 5 SC into the center of the small circle you have created.

2. Round 2- make 2 SC in each stitch and end the round with 10 SC total. Insert your stitch marker (whatever you are using) into the first stitch you make. It is tight at first, but when you are working in the round especially this is important to help you keep stitch count and the shape of your project.

3. Round 3- make a SC in the first stitch, then in the next stitch make 2 SC, repeat this pattern all the way around to end the round with 15 SC.

4. Rounds 4 through 8 make a SC in each stitch always ending the round with 15 stitches

5. Round 9 make 2 SC in each stitch, you should end the round with 30 stitches. You have completed your stem. Cut a 6-8 inch tail on your yarn and pull it through the loop on your hook to securely tie off. Tuck the tail inside the stem and stuff the stem with fiberfill, or scraps of yarn. Make sure to stuff enough to shape it up and make it a little firm but not too hard, it’s easy to overstuff.

The Cap

6. Round 1-With your red yarn make a magic circle and crochet 5 SC (single crochet) into the center. You can also CH 5 and then Slip Stitch into your first chain. Then make 5 SC into the center of the small circle you have created.

7. Round 2- Make 2 SC in each stitch and end the round with 10 SC.

8. Round 3- Make a SC in the first stitch, then 2 SC in the next stitch, continue this pattern all the way around to end with 15 SC.

9. Round 4- Make a SC into the first stitch, SC into the next stitch, then make 2 SC in the next stitch. Follow this pattern all the way around to end with 20 SC.

10. Round 5- Make a SC into the first 3 stitches, then make 2 SC in the 4th stitch in the round. Follow this pattern all the way around to end with 25 SC.

11. Round 6- Make a SC into the first 4 stitches, then make 2 SC into the 5th stitch in the round. Follow this pattern all the way around to end with 30 SC. Cut a long tail aprox. 18 inches and pull it through the loop on your hook to securely tie off (you will use this to secure your mushroom cap to the stem).

12. Flip your mushroom cap inside out, it will give it a more curved appearance. Before you whip stitch the top of your cap to the stem get a 12-16 inch long piece of white yarn, knot it on the inside of the cap, then use the yarn to sew 5-6 small, white lines on the outside of the cap. Secure the white yarn in a knot on the inside of the cap. If you are using yarn for the eyes or mouth, then do that at this step.

13. Thread your yarn needle with the long tale of red yarn you created and begin attaching the cap to the stem by sewing them together. Make sure to go through both parts of the stitch in the cap and the stem each time, to avoid gaps. Before you finish stitching the cap and stem together you can put a little more filling in the cap to make it “puff” up a bit. Make sure you have secured the cap to the stem, and make a knot connecting the cap and stem, hide the tail inside the mushroom center.

14. If you have already added your eyes and mouth, then you only need to use your yarn needle and hide all your tails inside the mushroom. If you are using a fabric marker to make the eyes and mouth you can add those at this step. And voila! You have a super kawaii, amigurumi mushroom. Make sure to spread the amigurumi joy!

Terminology Magic Circle , SN (slip knot)CH (chain stitch), SL (slip stitch), SC (single crochet)

1. Round 1– Crochet 5 SC into a magic circle. (If you are unfamiliar with a magic circle then make a SN (slip knot) CH (chain stitch) 5 and SL (slip stitch into) the first CH. Now make 5 SC into the small hole you have created with those 4 SC. This round should end either way with 5 SC.

2. Round 2– Crochet 2 SC in each of the 5 stiches in your first round. Insert your stitch marker (whatever you are using) into the first stitch you make. It is tight at first, but when you are working in the round especially this is important to help you keep stitch count and the shape of your project. You should end with 10 SC.

3. Round 3 -. In your first stitch do 1 SC, then in the next stitch do 2 SC. Repeat this pattern all the way around to finish the round with 15 SC.

4. Round 4 – SC in the 1st stitch, SC in the 2nd stitch, then in the 3rd stitch do 2 SC. Repeat this pattern all the way around to finish the round with 20 SC.

5. Round 5 – SC in the first 3 stitches, then in the 4th stitch do 2 SC. Repeat this pattern all the way around to finish the round with 25 SC.

6. Round 6– SC in the first 4 stitches, then in the 5th stitch do 2 SC. Repeat this pattern all the way around to the finish the round with 30 SC.

7. Take the round piece you have created, flip it inside and fold it in half to form the shape of your dumpling. Flipping it inside out helps give it a good dumpling shape. You can tuck the tail of yarn that was at the beginning of your project inside the dumpling, and it will become part of the “filling”. (If you have started with a magic circle, make sure to close it tight to pull that center. Together)

8. If you wish to give your dumpling a mouth using yarn here is the time to do it. If you are using fabric markers or ultra-fine sharpies skip this step. Before you stitch your dumpling together use your yarn needle and a strand of black yarn to sew a v shaped mouth, knot that on the inside of your dumpling half circle, cut your yarn off with about a 1inch tail. Tuck those tails on the inside of the project to hide them once they are secured.

9. To seal your dumpling up you will put your crochet hook through a stitch on the front and the back at the top of your half circle. You will do 3 SC in each of the stitches that you put your hook through. Make sure to get a stitch from both sides of your half circle. Do not go all the way across the top. Stop when you are about 1/2 way across and use some fiber fill or even yarn scraps to stuff your dumpling, then complete sealing it up. Don’t overstuff, just a small amount is used to create a little shape.

10. When you have finished sealing your dumpling cut a 6or 8 inch tail from your working yarn, and pull it all the way through the last loop on your hook. Then use your needle to pull that tail through the center of your dumpling to hide it.  Make sure it is hidden on both sides, then gently snip close to the end with your scissors (be careful not to cut any other yarn). The tail should pull back into the dumpling center. You can just make two little eyes with your markers, attach two small buttons with fabric glue or a glue gun. I used the red and black to draw a little mouth, eyes, and some rosy cheeks. Have fun with it and spread the amigurumi joy! And you have your kawaii amigurumi dumpling!

Amgurmi Mug coaster pattern

Materials: 6mm crochet hook (size J), scissors, a darning needle #16 round tip, stitch marker, Caron simply soft yarn #4 medium in whatever color you prefer (I used limelight green)), caron simply soft yarn #4 medium black for eyes and mouth if using them or fabric markers, ultrafine sharpie markers.

Terminology: SN (slip knot) CH (chain stitch) SC (single crochet)

For video tutorials on how to complete all the sticthes used in this pattern and more go to my crochet basics page.

1. Start by making a SL (slip knot) and CH (chain stitch) 13. The last stitch will be a turning stitch. To keep your piece/project even on the sides you will need to do a turning stitch with each row. 12 stitches in a row means you make 12 SC then chain one as your turning stitch.

2. Row 1– Turn your work to go back along the chain. Insert your hook in the first stitch after the one you are in. Yarn over, pull through, and you have two loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull through. You should have just one loop on your hook. This is your first SC (single crochet). Place your stitch marker here so that you know which is your first stitch. Repeat this 11 more times to end the row with 12 SC. Chain one for your turning stitch and turn your work. Use a piece of paper and a pencil or a stitch counter to count your rows.

3. Row 2– Repeat what you did in Row 1. Finish with 12 SC and then CH 1 for your turning stitch.

4. Row 3– In the first stitch from the one you are in make 2 SC. Place your stitch marker in stitch number 1, this will help you keep count as you make increases. Make a SC in the next 10 stitches, then in the last stitch make 2 SC. You should end the row with 14 SC. CH 1 as your turning stitch. **Move that stitch marker to the first stitch each time you start a new row, to help you keep count and keep the project even.

4. Row 4– Make a SC in each stitch to complete the next row with 14 SC and CH 1 as your turning stitch.

5. Row 5– In the first stitch from the one you are in make 2 SC. Make one SC in the next 12 stitches, then in the last stitch make 2 SC. You should end the row with 16 SC. CH 1 as your turning stitch.

6. Row 6– Make a SC in each stitch to complete the next row with 16 SC and CH 1 as your turning stitch.

7. Row 7– In the first stitch from the one you are in make 2 SC. Make a SC in the next 14 stitches, then in the last stitch make 2 SC. You should end the row with 18 SC. CH 1 as your turning stitch.

8. Row 8-Row 16 Make a SC in each stich within these rows to end the row with 18 SC. Remember to make a CH at the end of each row to keep the sides even and spaced properly.

9. When you have completed the last row, you can finish the edge by make a SC stitch in each stitch across the top of the cup, down one side, across the bottom and then up the last side of the cup. Finish by cutting a 6-8 inch tail and then pulling the yarn through the last loop on your hook. Hide the tail on the bottom or back side of your coaster.

10. To make the cup handle create a slip knot and chain 15 stitches, turn and make a SC in each stitch in the chain to complete 14 SC. Finish it by cutting a 6-8 inch tail and pulling that through the last loop on your hook. Then use some extra yarn to sew the handle to side of your cup.

11. If you are using black yarn to make the eyes and mouth you can use your needle and do that now, make sure to knot the yarn securely on the back of your cup and hide the tails into the stitches on the back when you are done. You can also use fabric markers or ultrafine sharpies to make the eyes/mouth/cheeks. And there you have it, you’re amigurumi mug coaster!
