Cocoa Marshmallow Amigurumi Pattern
This free cocoa marshmallow amigurumi pattern is worked in continuous rounds of single crochet, with increases and decreases for the shaping. In worsted yarn with a 3.5 mm hook it makes a toy about 1½ in tall, and it takes about 20-25 min at an everyday pace. It is one crocheted piece: the safety eyes go in while you make it, then you stuff it and close the last round. Nothing to sew on.

Eyes: Put the safety eyes in now, between R7 and R8, about 2 stitches apart. Once the piece is closed you can't add them.
Stuff firmly so the top and bottom stay flat. This is the only piece. Nothing to sew on.
Putting it together
- Put the small safety eyes in about 4 stitches apart in the middle of the side, before you stuff.
- Stuff, then close the last round: weave the yarn tail through the front loops and pull it shut.
- Optional: two pink cheeks. Make a few and pop them in a mug for a cocoa gift.
