Today, you are about to crochet the CUTEST crochet pancake plushie! Welcome to another part of the “crochet buddy dessert plushies” series. Introducing the crochet plush 3-tier Amuseable pancake plushie, crocheted with the skinny plush yarn that is my 100% recommendation for crocheting this Christmas or for birthdays, with a step-by-step tutorial for beginners. This little crochet smiling pancake looks like Jellycat buddy plushies with its face detailing and the coffee-colored legs. Can be crocheted as a Valentine’s Day gift, too, just like the Jellycat rainbow cake amigurumi you learned to crochet last week.

But it is made colorful and cuter with its little crochet fruit slices and berries on the top, such as the banana slices, blueberry, red berry, and some crocheted honey. This smiling pancake buddy crochet plush is actually playable, though it is as small as a keychain amigurumi.

My favorite part of this crochet plush buddy pancake tier is the PERFECT shape of the dripping honey icing that you can recreate exactly thanks to the pattern. Be sure to crochet a pair of these amigurumi kawaii pancake plushies containing just a red berry and butter, and the other with a blue berry, banana slices, and again the butter as well. Crocheting one of these plush pancakes should be easier for both beginners and experts! Now, continue reading to learn more about this plush dessert project of the week.
