Crochet Pattern Instructions

Let’s begin crafting your adorable coffee cup! This pattern involves several distinct parts, starting with the main body.

Body

Using beige yarn, create the main cup shape.

1. Start with 8 sc in MR (8 stitches)
2. 8 inc (16)
3. (sc, inc)*8 (24)
4. (2 sc, inc)*8 (32)
5. (3 sc, inc)*8 (40)
6. (4 sc, inc)*8 (48)
7. (7 sc, inc)*6 (54)
8. (8 sc, inc)*6 (60)
9. BLO: 60 sc (60)
10. Rows 10-12: 60 sc (60) – 3 rows
11. (inc, 29 sc)*2 (62)
12. 62 sc (62)
13. (inc, 30 sc)*2 (64)
14. Rows 16-18: 64 sc (64) – 3 rows
15. (15 sc, inc)*4 (68)
16. Rows 20-24: 68 sc (68) – 5 rows
17. (16 sc, inc)*4 (72)
18. Rows 26-33: 72 sc (72) – 8 rows
19. (17 sc, inc)*4 (76)
20. Rows 35-38: 76 sc (76) – 4 rows. At the end of row 38, change yarn to black.
21. (37 sc, inc)*2 (78)
22. BLO: (11 sc, dec)*6 (72)
23. (7 sc, dec)*8 (64)
24. BLO: 64 sc (64)

Eyes (Make 2)

Using white yarn, craft the base for the safety eyes.

1. 8 sc in MR (8) – If you plan to insert safety eyes through the center of this white part, do not tighten the magic ring too much.
2. 8 inc (16)
3. (sc, inc)*8, sl st (24)

Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Handles (Make 2)

These sturdy handles incorporate wire for structure.

Wire Preparation:

Cut 2 pieces of wire, each 15 cm long. Bend one end of each piece into a small loop. Wrap the entire length of each wire piece (especially the joint where it bends) with plaster tape. Try to wrap the wire as thinly as possible to ensure it fits easily into the crocheted hands.

Crochet the Handle Covers:

Using black yarn, crochet around the prepared wire.

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. 6 inc (12)
3. (3 sc, inc)*3 (15)
4. Rows 4-5: 15 sc (15) – 2 rows
5. B (bobble stitch), 14 sc (15)
6. (3 sc, dec)*3 (12)
7. (sc, dec)*4 (8) – At this point, insert the prepared wire piece into the crocheted handle and lightly stuff the hand part.
8. BLO: (2 sc, dec)*2 (6)

Leave a long tail (approximately 30 cm) and cut the yarn.

After completing row 9, apply a small amount of clear super glue to the exposed wire, then tightly wrap it with the remaining long yarn tail. This secures the wire and provides a finished look. Wrap about 5-6 cm of the wire. Repeat this process for the second handle.

Next, rejoin the black yarn to the front loop of the 8th row of the handle and crochet 8 sc. Cut and hide the yarn end. This creates a neat cuff at the base of the handle.

Bottom Insert

Trace the outline of the bottom of your crocheted cup onto cardboard or polymer material. Cut out this circle. If you intend to wash the toy, use polymer material, as cardboard will be damaged by water. Place this firm insert inside the cup before you begin stuffing the body. You can add a small amount of glue to the piece to prevent it from shifting.

Eye and Arm Attachment

Now is the time to secure the safety eyes and position the arms before stuffing the cup completely.

Insert the safety eyes between rows 28 and 29 of the body, through both the white eye part and the main body fabric. Position them approximately 12 stitches apart. For added security, after snapping the fasteners on the safety eyes, you can carefully melt the plastic posts with a household lighter and press them flat. Be extremely cautious not to burn yourself or the yarn.
