PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Make your own tiny smiling dumpling tucked into its very own crochet basket 🥟🧶

This Dumplings Crochet Pattern walks you through making a soft, rounded dumpling with big expressive eyes, a tiny embroidered smile, and a cozy little basket with a lid. Use a colorful gradient yarn for a playful look, keep it soft and simple in one color, or make a whole group with different personalities.

This listing is for a digital PDF crochet pattern only. No finished item will be shipped.

Once finished, your dumpling makes a cheerful little companion for a desk, shelf, bedside table, or any cozy corner that could use a tiny handmade face looking back at you. The pattern also gives you room to play with color, eye style, stuffing, and optional blush, so each dumpling can come out a little different.
