Hamster Amigurumi Crochet Pattern — Mochi

Mochi is a soft honey-tan hamster with a cream belly, plump cream cheek pouches, little brown ears and tiny pink paw toes — and if you like, a small sunflower seed to hold between his front paws. In chenille yarn he turns out squishy and warm, a lovely evening project to have in your lap 🧶

This one is written for beginners. The whole capsule shape is worked bottom-up as a single continuous piece: two stub feet are joined with a short chain bridge, the body grows upward, and the arms and tail are crochet-joined mid-round as you pass them. The head closes at the top, so there is no separate head to attach. Only five pieces are sewn at the end — two ears, two cheek pouches and the belly patch — and the nose and mouth are simply embroidered.

Your download is a clearly written PDF in English, in US crochet terms, with the full materials list, gauge, stitch abbreviations, assembly order, finishing details and troubleshooting notes. Finished size is 14 cm tall and about 8 cm wide, on a 4.0 mm hook.

Go slowly and enjoy the shaping — every round is spelled out for you ✨
