Monua DIY shares this CUTE dumpling tutorial with us!
This tutorial shows how to crochet a dumpling basket plushie keychain. You start by making the basket base using continuous rounds, building up the sides to create the container shape.
Next, you crochet small individual dumplings by working round shapes, stuffing them with fiberfill, and gathering the top edges to form pinched dumpling tops.
You place the finished dumplings inside the basket, attach safety eyes or face details to add cute character features, and attach a keychain ring to make it a portable charm.
