Amigurumi Cinnamon Roll

If there’s one thing I love, it’s baked goods! If there’s another thing I love, it’s crochet – so why not combine the two?! When trying to come up with some fun ideas for my next amigurumi pattern, I noticed there’s a surprisingly small amount of cinnamon roll aesthetic online, even though this is such a delicious and popular dessert! My goal was to come up with a pattern that was instantly recognizable, really easy to make, and of course, as kawaii as possible! I’m really happy with the end results!

The yarn I used for this project is Premier Just Chenille – but if you can’t find that, this Premier Parfait color is the perfect alternative! Find it on Amazon HERE!

How to Make This

Instructions

Roll

This piece is worked in continuous rnds; do not join.  You may wish to use a stitch marker and move it up at the beginning of each new rnd.  Please note that Rnds 1 – 7 are worked in BLO (first photo below) – the rem loops from these rnds are used to make icing later. (Rnd 10 is also working in BLO.)

Rnd 1 – With contrast color yarn, make a magic ring.  6 sc in ring.  (6 sc)

Rnd 2 – 2 sc in each st around.  (12 sc)

Rnd 3 – *2 sc in next st, sc in next st.*  Rep from * to * around.  (18 sc)

Rnd 4 – *2 sc in next st, sc in next 2 sts.*  Rep from * to * around.  (24 sc)

Rnd 5 – *2 sc in next st, sc in next 3 sts.*  Rep from * to * around.  (30 sc)

Rnd 6 – *2 sc in next st, sc in next 4 sts.*  Rep from * to * around (second photo below).  (36 sc)

Rnd 7 – sc in each st around.  (36 sc)

Rnds 8 – 9 – (now working through both loops) sc in each st around (third photo below).  Attach safety eyes near Rnd 8, about 5 – 6 sts apart.  (36 sc)

Rnd 10 – working in BLO again, *sc2tog over next 2 sts, sc in next 4 sts.*  Rep from * to * around.  (30 sc)

Rnd 11 – (now working through both loops) *sc2tog over next 2 sts, sc in next 3 sts.*  Rep from * to * around.  (24 sc)

Rnd 12 – *sc2tog over next 2 sts, sc in next 2 sts.*  Rep from * to * around.  Stuff piece (do not overstuff.)  (18 sc)

Rnd 13 – *sc2tog over next 2 sts, sc in next st.*  Rep from * to * around.  (12 sc)

Rnd 14 – sc2tog in each st around.  (6 sc)

Rnd 15 – sc2tog over next 2 sts; leave rem sts unworked.  (5 sc)

Fasten off, leaving tail for sewing rem gap from Rnd 15.  Fourth photo below shows piece at this stage.

Icing

Join White yarn with sl st in first rem loop of Rnd 1 (first photo below).  Ch 1, sk first st.  Loosely sl st in each rem loop of Rnds 1 – 6 (second photo shows this in progress).  Working into rem loops of Rnd 7, *ch 2, sl st around sc st 2 rnds below (third photo), ch 2, sk next 2 rem loops on Rnd 7, sl st in next 2 rem loops (fourth photo).*  Rep from * to * 8 more times (on last rep, sl st once into last rem loop from Rnd 7). Fasten off.  Fifth and sixth photos show piece at this stage.

Finishing

If making large size and using felt eyes, glue them at this stage.  For both sizes, use black yarn to make a small “v” between eyes for smile.  Weave in all ends and/or tie off ends and hide knots inside sts.
