Free Crochet Customizable Patrick Star Plushie for Summer : Crafts Hive

Learn how to crochet a no-sew Patrick Star plushie from SpongeBob SquarePants following this FREE pattern. I will soon provide you with a Santa Hat pattern to crochet as a Christmas present, too. For now, crochet it for summer, which can be customized in many ways. You can crochet the purple spots on the pants, make a French Knot belly button, or crochet it paired with a SpongeBob plushie.

This is a big crochet Patrick Star plushie with the same googly eyes and the CUTE smile. Even with the amigurumi yarn, you will end up with a 15cm amigurumi Patrick Star.

So, I recommend using a thin plush yarn as the pattern is big. Now, continue reading for the full Patrick Star doll pattern. I am also sharing Character plushies such as Baby Yoda, Among Us, and more, so be sure to check them, too.

Other Tools: Scissors, stitch marker, pins, tapestry needle (thick and thin), pliers (to pull the needle if it gets stuck), polyester fiberfill.

Costume Parts

Stripes: Crochet two separate rows of single crochet with about 24 stitches each and secure the ends.
Buttons (Optional X 2): 6sc in the magic ring and secure the end.

5. Assembly & Facial Details

1. Eyes: * Position the eyes centrally on the face (roughly 15 rounds down from the pointed tip of the head). Sew the white eye patches securely to the head using the long white tails.

2. Eyebrows (Black Thread): * Embroider thick black eyebrows in an angled “Z” or chevron shape. Start 2 rounds above the eyes, spanning 2 stitches wide, dipping downwards. Go over the stitch twice to make it thick.

3. Mouth (Black Thread):

Using pins, map out a wide, curved “U” shape for the mouth starting 1 stitch away from the bottom corner of each eye.
Use a single strand of black thread to stitch a continuous line connecting your pins. Wrap the thread tightly around each stitch base loop to secure the curve perfectly. Add tiny “smile crease” lines at the outer corners of the mouth.

4. Arms: * Sew the flattened arms to the sides of the body. Position them about 2 rounds below the eye line, slightly tilted backward.

5. Belly Button (optional): * Using pink yarn, embroider a “French Knot” right in the center of Patrick’s stomach, just above the pants line. Wrap the yarn around the needle 4 times before pulling it through to create a thick knot.

6. Costume: Just glue on the square pants and make the cross at the back.
