Today, learn how to crochet this festive and CUTE medium-sized Twinkle in a sleep hat plushie with a step-by-step tutorial. To make it look like a store-bought Twinkle plush, we will also use the fuzzy yarn along with the super-bulky yarn that makes it look so huggable.
This crochet Twinkle plush variation requires the same base pattern as was used in the crochet flower cosplay Twinkle plush.
We have the same crochet standing and ready-to-hug Twinkle plush, but this time with a slouchy blue hat, a small pillow on its left, and a star that is attached at the top of the hand. Be sure to crochet any of these Twinkle plushies this Christmas and New Year.
Tutorial to Crochet the Amigurumi Back-to-School Colorful Flower Square Bag
This crochet tutorial guides you through making a sleepy Twinkle doll wearing a nightcap and holding a soft pillow. You begin by crocheting a tall, tapered blue sleeping cap decorated with a white fluffy folded brim.
Next, you whip up a tiny five-pointed star and a rectangular fluffy pillow panel, folded and stitched closed.
Once all parts are prepared, you attach the safety eyes, embroider facial expressions, add soft blush to the cheeks, glue on the nightcap, and place the pillow snugly under the doll’s arms. The end result is an adorable, cozy sleeping doll charm that works perfectly as a keychain or desk companion.
