Author: Talha

I am a crochet designer, macramé maker and a crafter who also loves doing MATH.

Here is the 2nd and last “crochet Halloween dumpling plushie pattern” of this week. Today, I will be sharing a FREE pattern to crochet this easy yellow, white, and orange candy corn dumpling plushie that has cute “><” kawaii eyes and fits inside a black clamshell dumpling steamer plushie box with a lid. You can quickly crochet this variation, too, just like the crochet cat in a witch dumpling plush!
