Materials:
- Worsted Weight #4 yarn – Any worsted-weight yarn for this project, cotton or acrylic. The boba teas pictured in this pattern are made with WeCrochet/Knit Picks Brava Worsted. Approx. 45 yards of yarn is needed in total. Most of this yardage is the main cup color and white. You’ll just need a few yards for the bubbles/pearls and the straw.
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Safety Eyes– 9 mm size
- Stuffing – any fiber-based stuffing
- Embroidery or crochet thread – a small amount of black for the mouth (optional)
- Yarn needle –for weaving in ends and attaching pieces together (bent yarn needles work great for amigurumi projects).
- Scissors for cutting yarn
Stitches Used:
- Ch – chain
- Sl St – slip stitch
- SC – single crochet
- FPSC – front post single crochet
- BLO SC – single crochet worked in the back loops only
- SC DEC – single crochet decrease
- INV DEC – invisible single crochet decrease (Here’s a video tutorial for the INV DEC)
Finished Size
- Finished Boba Tea Amigurumi measures approximately 3” tall.
Gauge:
- Gauge is not critical for this pattern to turn out, however, for reference, 2 inches square is approximately 9 rows of 11 SC stitches.
Important Notes:
- Worked in rounds – This pattern is mostly worked in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead, you’ll need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you’ll continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker (or a piece of yarn) to mark the start or end of each round. Please note that there are a couple places where a slip stitch join is in the instructions to help make the color changes less visible.
- Magic Circle – This pattern starts with a magic circle for the first round of stitches. This video tutorial will show you the magic circle and working the first rounds of stitches.
- Sew pieces together – The bubbles/pearls and the straw are the only parts of this pattern that will require sewing.
Make your own Boba Bubble Tea Amigurumi!
Bubbles/Pearls
Make 6 bubbles/pearls in a color of your choice (brown or black, as pictured).
Round 1: Magic circle, ch 1, make 6 SC sts into ring, sl st join to first st (6)
Fasten off, pull center ring tight and weave in end. Leave one yarn tail for sewing to the cup.
Boba Tea Cup
The cup is worked from the bottom up. Start with the main color you are using for the cup.
Round 1: Magic circle, ch 1, make 6 SC sts into ring (6)
Round 2: 2 SC in each st around (12)
Round 3: *2 SC in first st, SC in next st, repeat from * around (18)
Round 4: *2 SC in first st, SC in next 2, repeat from * around (24)
Round 5: *2 SC in first st, SC in next 3, repeat from * around, join to first st, ch 1 (30)
Round 6: BLO SC in each st around, join, ch 1 (30)
Rounds 7-17: SC in each st around (30)
There is still one round of the main color left to work, but first it is time to add the facial features and sew on the bubbles/pearls.
Facial features: Insert safety eyes between rounds 15 and 16 with about 5 stitches in between. For the smile, stitch a “v” in the center of the face a couple rows down from the eyes. To add cheeks, sew a stitch in an accent color on each side of the face in the round below the eyes towards the outside.
Bubbles/pearls: Sew the bubbles/pearls around the cup, evenly spaced, alternating high and low placements. Pinning them in place is a great way to check the placement before sewing. Start by sewing the first one a round up from the bottom of the cup and centered under the smile. Then continue sewing the other 5 evenly spaced around the cup. Skip about 2-3 stitches between each bubble/pearl. Weave in ends and cut tails after each bubble is sewn on.
Continue working the last round of the cup in the main color.
Round 18: SC in each st around, change to white yarn, join, ch 1 (30)
Round 19: SC in each st around, join, ch 1 (30)
Round 20: FPSC in each st around, join to first FPSC, then sl st join back to the first SC of the previous round (behind the FPSC round). This is so your next round is not worked in the post stitches). Chain 1 (30)
Round 21: SC in each st around. Make sure you are not working in the post stitches. Your stitches should be going into the round before the FPSC round (these are the stitches behind the FPSC stitches). (30)
Round 22: SC in each st around (30)
Start stuffing the cup here and continue stuffing over the next rounds. Be sure to add all the stuffing before the opening is too small.
Round 23: *INV DEC, SC in next 3 sts, repeat from * around (24)
Round 24: *INV DEC, SC in next 2 sts, repeat from * around (18)
Round 25: *INV DEC, SC in next st, repeat from * around (12)
Round 26: INV DEC in each st around (6)
Fasten off, weave in ends.
Straw
Work up the straw in an accent color of your choice. This could be the same color as the cheeks or another.
Round 1: Magic circle, ch 1, make 6 SC into the ring (6)
Rounds 2-6: SC in each st around (6)
Fasten off. Weave in ends. Leave a tail to sew onto the cup.
Sew the straw to the top of the cup. The straw on the boba tea amigurumi pictured is sewn a couple rounds to the side of the top/center. Weave in ends and cut yarn, hiding the tail inside the amigurumi.
