Hello dear crochet friends! Don’t you love a simple yet cute amigurumi free pattern and beginner friendly? Yes? Me too! And since I’m the nicest crochet designer ever (just kidding or am I?), today I’m sharing with you my little amigurumi cloud free crochet pattern. It will be perfect for bedroom decor, baby mobile, a keychain…Â
I often get asked if a project is beginner-friendly or not. Most of the time I’m unsure of what I should answer to that question, because I firmly believe that you can be a beginner and challenge yourself with mild to big projects. (Seriously, some beginners are fearless and I love that for them!) But for this pattern I can tell you this: if you are a beginner and know how to crochet in rounds, then this will be the perfect project for you! It’s simple and you can finish it in a day.
If you’re a more experienced crocheter, this amigurumi cloud free crochet pattern is a fun little palate cleanser between bigger projects. You know, one of those “instant gratification” kind of makes.
Now before I show you how to crochet a cloud, let’s see what we’ll need for this project…
Material for the Crochet Cloud:
- 100% white cotton yarn Ricorumi DK, 25g/57,5m or any cotton yarn made for amigurumi
- A 3 mm crochet hook
- polyester fiberfill for stuffing
- a sewing needle and stitch markers

In order to finish your crochet amigurumi cloud, close the hole with the sewing needle. After that weave in the ends, and then you will be finally done!

This fluffy friend has just the right amount of squish, sweetness, and simplicity. I designed it with soft cotton yarn in mind, but honestly, it works with almost any yarn you love, just don’t forget to adjust your hook size accordingly.
Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished item with me on my different social medias, you have the choice as I am on quite a lot of them! haha You can post pictures in Ravelry and give a review there, it’s highly appreciated.
Also feel free to post a comment to share with me your thoughts on my amigurumi cloud free crochet pattern or anything else, I will be happy to read you! See you in the next one!
Hey! I LOVE this cute little pattern. I am wanting to make it using chenille yarn that is bulky (6) but I am unsure how to adjust for hook size? Have you tried this before in different yarns or do you have any advice as I work this up in a different yarn size? I am fairly intermediate skill in most areas of crochet, and more skilled in other areas of crochet, but I am a beginner in amigurumi!
Hello Staci,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I have a video tutorial up on youtube where I propose an alternative pattern for this cloud with a larger hook size, I think that might works better than with this written pattern which is for a much smaller size hook than the one you will use with the chenille yarn. The tutorial link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTPaUnBrr4o
You may as well follow this pattern and then adapt it along the way by adding more rounds at some points, to give it the full rounded shape on each cloud’s sections. I’m planning to make a cloud pillow pattern with chenille/velvet yarn soon when I have the time. 😉
Pues, hoy lo comenzaré a hacer. Espero entenderlo. Ya te lo comentaré. Gracias
I made it with a 20mm hook (turned out super cute) and it wound out to be 3.5 feet long 🤣. I need more stuffing 😅
Bonsoir, je pense que ce tuto est plein d’erreurs. On ne sait pas si ce sont des mc ou des ms ! C’est problématique
Bonsoir Brigitte, vous parlez de la vidéo tutorielle sur youtube ou du patron écrit sur ce site? Parce que le patron écrit ici est en anglais, si vous le faites traduire par google alors il y aura probablement beaucoup d’erreurs car google ne saura pas traduire les abréviations de crochet. En anglais il ne contient aucune erreur.
