Why You'll Love This Christmas Pudding Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it captures so much holiday charm in a tiny, cuddly form. I enjoy how quickly the body works up into a cute, squishy shape that still has personality. The small added details like embroidered smiles, brads for berries and sewn-on leaves make each pudding feel handmade and special. I also love that it is approachable yet satisfying, giving you a finished piece in just a few hours.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this pattern by changing colors; try a darker brown or cream for different pudding looks.

I often make a tiny ornament version by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create a mini pudding for the tree.

I like to replace the brads with embroidered berries if giving to small children to avoid small parts.

For a chunkier, cuddlier pudding swap to bulky yarn and a larger hook for a plush version.

I sometimes add a small loop to the top of the icing to hang it as a decoration or gift tag.

I enjoy embroidering different facial expressions; moving the eyes or changing the mouth shape changes the whole personality.

Try adding metallic thread or a tiny bell to the leaves for a festive sparkle and sound.

I recommend experimenting with safety eyes or French knots for different eye styles and textures.

You can make a matching set in holiday colors, varying berry counts and leaf sizes for variety.

I also occasionally stuff with eco-friendly stuffing or add a small sachet of scented beads for a fragrant decoration.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Placing safety eyes too low will look odd and unbalanced; place eyes between rounds 14-15 and 3-4 stitches above the embroidered smile as instructed. ✗ Forgetting to stuff as you go results in lumps or a collapsed shape; stuff semi firmly during rounds 21-29 and add small amounts gradually while shaping. ✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases and decreases causes uneven shaping; count stitches at the end of each round to ensure accuracy. ✗ Not weaving in ends before final assembly makes finishing messy; weave in all ends after FO and before sewing the icing and decorations in place.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew leaves onto the top of the icing, arranging three or more leaves evenly and secure with small whipstitches.
  • Sew berries onto the icing between the leaves, using the long tails from the berries to stitch them securely and hide ends underneath.
  • Place the finished icing (with leaves and berries attached) onto the top of the body around rounds 21-29 and sew firmly around the edge.
  • Embroider the smile on round 13 and add the 9mm safety eyes between rounds 14-15, three to four stitches above the smile; secure brads with glue.
  • Weave in all ends after assembly and press the body top and bottom to squish into a tall pancake shape for the final look.

Important Notes

  • 💡Stuff the body semi firmly as you go, especially during rounds 21-29, to maintain an even shape and avoid lumps.
  • 💡Place safety eyes between rounds 14-15 and 3-4 stitches above the embroidered smile to achieve the correct facial placement.
  • 💡Weave in all ends after finishing each piece and before final assembly to create a clean, professional finish.
  • 💡Use the photos as reference for placement and orientation of the icing, leaves and berries during sewing and finishing.
