Materials Needed

Before we dive into the stitches, let's gather all the supplies you'll need. This project is wonderfully portable and requires minimal materials, making it a great on-the-go craft.

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in four colors:
  • Brown: For the cup, handle, and cinnamon sprinkle (e.g., Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in "Chocolate")
  • Orange: For the pumpkin spice body (e.g., Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in "Pumpkin")
  • Cream/White: For the whipped cream topping (e.g., Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in "White")
• Crochet Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm) hook
• Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill or your preferred stuffing material
• Stitch Marker: To keep track of your rounds (a scrap piece of yarn works too!)
• Yarn Needle: For sewing pieces together and weaving in ends
• Scissors
• Optional: Embroidery thread in black or dark brown for adding a cute face

Note on Gauge: Gauge is not critical for this project. However, it's important to maintain a tight, consistent stitch throughout. This ensures your stuffing won't peek through the gaps, giving your plush a polished, professional look.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous spirals unless otherwise noted. This means you won't join rounds with a slip stitch; instead, you'll work continuously in a spiral. It's crucial to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to keep your place. Let's get started!

Part 1: The Cup (Brown Yarn)

We'll start with the base of our latte—the warm, cozy cup. This piece is worked from the bottom up.

Round 1: Make a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Pull the tail to close the ring tightly. (6 stitches)

Round 2: Work 2 single crochets (inc) into each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)

Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. (24 stitches)

Rounds 5-10: Single crochet in each stitch around for 6 rounds. (24 stitches)

This creates the straight, tall sides of the cup. Keep your tension even for a nice, uniform cylinder.

Round 11: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, decrease (dec) in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)

Round 12: *Single crochet in the next stitch, decrease in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around. (12 stitches)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12-15 inches) for sewing. Stuff the cup firmly with fiberfill. The bottom should be nice and round, and the top should be slightly gathered but still open enough to attach the pumpkin body.

Part 2: The Pumpkin Spice Body (Orange Yarn)

Now for the star of the show—the vibrant pumpkin body that sits atop the cup. This is essentially a sphere shape.

Round 1: Make a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Pull to close. (6 stitches)

Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (18 stitches)

Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (24 stitches)

Round 5: *Single crochet in the next 3 stitches, increase in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (30 stitches)

Rounds 6-12: Single crochet in each stitch around for 7 rounds. (30 stitches)

This is the "belly" of the pumpkin. It should be nice and wide.

Round 13: *Single crochet in the next 3 stitches, decrease in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (24 stitches)

Round 14: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, decrease in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (18 stitches)

Round 15: *Single crochet in the next stitch, decrease in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (12 stitches)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Stuff the pumpkin body firmly to give it that nice, plump shape. Now, using the long tail, sew the pumpkin body securely onto the top opening of the brown cup. Use a whip stitch or mattress stitch, going through the stitches of both pieces to create a seamless join. Weave in the end securely.

Part 3: The Whipped Cream (White Yarn)

Time for the sweetest part—the fluffy whipped cream swirl on top!

Round 1: Make a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Pull to close. (6 stitches)

Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (18 stitches)

Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (24 stitches)

Rounds 5-6: Single crochet in each stitch around for 2 rounds. (24 stitches)

Round 7: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, decrease in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (18 stitches)

Round 8: *Single crochet in the next stitch, decrease in the next stitch.* Repeat around. (12 stitches)

Round 9: Decrease in each stitch around. (6 stitches)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Stuff the whipped cream lightly—you want it to be soft and squishy, not too firm. Sew the whipped cream onto the top of the orange pumpkin body, positioning it slightly off-center for a more natural, whimsical look.

Part 4: The Cinnamon Sprinkle (Brown Yarn)

This tiny detail adds so much charm! It's the perfect finishing touch.

Using your brown yarn, make a chain of 6. Then, slip stitch into the first chain to form a small circle. Fasten off, leaving a tail.

Sew this little ring onto the very top peak of the whipped cream. It looks like a cute little cinnamon sprinkle!

Part 5: The Handle (Brown Yarn)

No latte is complete without a handle to hold it by!

Using your brown yarn, make a chain of 12. Then, slip stitch into the second chain from the hook and across the entire chain. This creates a sturdy, braided-looking cord. Fasten off, leaving long tails on both ends.

Using the tails, sew the handle onto the side of the brown cup. Position it so it curves outwards naturally. Make sure it's securely attached by sewing through it multiple times.

Final Assembly & Finishing Touches

Congratulations, you're almost done! Let's put it all together.

1. Secure all parts: Double-check that the pumpkin body, whipped cream, and handle are all sewn on securely. Give them a gentle tug to test.
2. Weave in all ends: Use your yarn needle to carefully weave in any remaining loose ends inside the plush. This gives it a clean, professional finish.
3. Add a face (optional): If you'd like to give your latte some personality, use embroidery thread to stitch on a cute, simple face. Two small "x" or dot eyes and a little smile on the orange pumpkin body would be adorable!

And there you have it—your very own Pumpkin Spice Latte Amigurumi Plush! This delightful little creation is perfect for cuddling, decorating, or gifting. It's a wonderful project for beginners looking to practice working in the round, increasing, and decreasing, all while creating something truly special.

We hope you enjoyed this pattern. Happy crocheting, and enjoy your (permanently) cozy cup of fall!
