Meet Cinnamoroll! (Pattern)

Heya! This week I’m bringing you Cinnamoroll! That’s right, the cute fluffy cinnamon roll lover! We went on a mini vacation the other day and I desperately needed something I could work on in the car that wasn’t too complicated and didn’t require me to constantly compare it with a to-size picture. So I just went for Cinnamoroll! Isn’t he a cutie? You can totally customize him any way you like – why not give him some stars or a hat? Or a cinnamon roll? The ideas…

The Pattern

Materials
To make Cinnamoroll you will need:
– A Crochet hook, 2.5mm
– White yarn for cinnamoroll itself, pink yarn for the heart and light blue yarn for the facial features
– A tapestry needle and scissors
– Stuffing
– A stitch marker to help you keep track of the start of the round
Please note that you can make Cinnamoroll using any size crochet hook and yarn weight for a smaller or bigger result. I like using DK as it’s most commonly available. If you make amigurumi, it is usually recommended to go down a bit from the recommended hook size for the yarn to allow for a no-hole look (we don’t want to see the stuffing show through in between stitches)! Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook, Cinnamoroll should be about 12cm tall.

Stitches & Abbreviations
The pattern is written using US crochet terms in continuous spirals. You will need to know the following kinds of stitches:
– Magic Ring (MR)
– Single crochet (sc)
– Decrease (dec); preferably using the invisible decrease method
– Increase (inc)
And now, let’s get started!

Heart (in pink)
For the heart, I simply followed already existing patterns on the internet. I went with Grace and Yarn’s as it had just the perfect size for my cinnamoroll.

Assembly
First of all, Sew the head and the body together. Then, sew on the arms and the ears. For the tail, curl it up in a way that you like. Then, using your yarn tail, just keep going back and forth, bringing your yarn up through the entire curl and then back down in a few places. You might want to use some pins to help you keep it curled while you’re doing this. Once the curl has been fixed, sew the tail on. Finally, sew the heart to the hands.

And that’s it! Enjoy your new little friend! You may post pictures of your Cinnamoroll online as well as sell amigurumi made from this pattern, but I ask that you credit me as the creator of this pattern. Please do not redistribute the pattern.
