Crochet raindrop

Earlier this year I made a baby mobile for a beautiful baby girl. Her mother, my friend from university, asked me to make one with colored raindrops.

Before I start a new project, I always search on Google first to check if there are already free patterns available that I like. If so, I will use those. To my surprise I couldn’t find a free crochet pattern for an amigurumi crochet raindrop. Only flat raindrop versions. Luckily it’s not that hard to make, so I created a crochet raindrop pattern myself. It works up really fast, I think if you get the hang of it, you can make one in 5 minutes. You can find my the steps below!

Materials

– Crochet hook 3.5mm
– Fingering cotton yarn. Any yarn brand will do the job
– A little bit of stuffing materials

Below you can find a short video tutorial showing you how to make this raindrop. The written pattern can be found below.

Abbreviations

Crochet raindrop

The pattern is worked in continuous rounds. This means we do not make a slip stitch and chain at the end of every row.

Round 1: Start with 6 sc in a magic ring
Round 2: 2 sc in every stitch (12)
Round 3: *1sc, 2sc in next stitch* 6x (18)
Round 4-6 (3 rows): 18sc (18)
Round 7: *4sc, 2sc together* 3x (15)
Round 8: *3sc, 2sc together* 3x (12)
Round 9: 12sc (12)
Round 10: *2sc, 2sc together* 3x (9)
Round 11: 9sc (9)
Round 12: *1sc, 2sc together* 3x (6)
Round 13: 6sc (6)

That’s it! Now put some stuffing in your raindrop, cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
