Summer crochet is not simply about crocheting sun hats or other wearables. A miniature amigurumi is an equally pleasing project, especially when themed accordingly.
Below are my 100% recommendations to crochet a summer amigurumi, including sea creatures, summer desserts, atmospheric elements, and dolls with summer accessories.
I will provide you with the step-by-step video patterns for each idea, so you can crochet yours super easily.
Once you have an idea about the methods, you can include the hot weather in keychains; you can also explore more ideas, too. These are all cute, quick, and last-minute.
Crochet An Ice-Cream Amigurumi
Nothing catches the summer’s theme better than a crochet ice cream. Whether it’s an ice cream pop, an ice cream cup, or a cone, there are some really authentic designs available. P
For now, I recommend crocheting this easy two-tier cone amigurumi with a melted ice cream topping. This easy ice cream cone can be used as a keychain or fridge magnet and can be crocheted in any flavor.
Like, brown for the chocolate, pink for the strawberry, yellow-green for pistacio and so on. One of my favorite ideas is to embroider a sprinkle or crochet stripes of a rainbow. Wanna crochet? Use cotton yarn with a 2.5mm crochet hook.
Crochet A Jellyfish Amigurumi
Summer leads many to the beaches, and so a crochet sea creature becomes an irresistible buddy. For summer’s collection, I have two crochet fish amigurumi to discuss.
First is this kawaii amigurumi Jellyfish with twisted tentacles of varying size and a cute smiling face. Since the tentacles are attached closely, you will want to crochet many.
There is also a puff stitch neckline and blush on the cheeks, which you should definitely not miss. As for colors, choose from self-striping rainbow yarn to solid ones such as beige, purple, pink, or aqua.
Crochet An Octopus Amigurumi
Another irresistible and versatile way to crochet a summer amigurumi is to crochet a miniature doll with summer accessories. So, don’t miss this crochet kawaii-style bunny amigurumi wearing a ruffle-brim sun hat and a little Tee.
With the Tee crocheted as you go, it is a low-sew sitting bunny amigurumi needing only two colors. The finished model shown above has a strawberry-themed crochet hat with embroidery seeds, but it can be customized for other tropical fruits like kiwi, peach, and lemon.
You can also crochet a small shoulder bag with the pattern I shared in the Plush Purse Series. This looks so cute to me with the ears popping out of the hat. Finish it with the blush cheeks, too.
Cosplay amigurumi? Here are some plushie ideas:
Crochet A Susuwatari Amigurumi
Whether you know it by Susuwatari or soot sprite, this timeless and oh-so-cute character is not to be missed, whatever the season is. For the summer, you can crochet this Susuwatari in a Buket Hat amigurumi.
This is also the easiest quirky amigurumi we have discussed so far, as you only have to crochet a ball, flat crochet rounds, and chain stitch legs.
You can crochet one as a car hanger, for Halloween, or as a curtain tie. Wanna crochet? Have 6mm safety eyes, 2.5mm crochet hook, and cotton yarn. A plush version should also be irresistible.
Crochet A Shark Amigurumi
Let’s crochet an authentic and cute smiling shark amigurumi with this two-part pattern. Only the body pattern is no-sew and features the perfect color changes to make the white belly of the shark.
Then in the next tutorial, you will learn how to crochet the fins and tail, embroider the lines, smile, and assemble.
Because it’s so detailed, even with a small size, I would recommend trying yours with the chenille yarn. This way it will be bigger and huggable. Just don’t miss it this summer.
Crochet An Earth and Sun
Sun and summer, let’s crochet an obvious but meaningful and cute summer keychain with this pattern. This gonna be a one-hour 2-in-1 pattern, so you can also learn crocheting a smiling Earth amigurumi.
The sun pattern matches a lot with the flower-stuffed-centre flower base, so you can definitely make a trio.
As for hanging, you can choose from a hanging loop or a keyring. Both need two colors each, with Earth’s subcontinent color-work so mind-blowing.
