• Sport 5 ply cotton blend yarn (330 m/100g)

like. For the pattern, I used light green (Alize Cotton Gold #485) and yellow-green 

(Alize Cotton Gold №193) colors. For the heart – red (Alize Cotton Gold #56). 

• For the arms and legs, you will need lace cotton yarn in black, and for the eyes, 

white yarn. I used Seam Anna 16 (529 m/100g). 

2 mm and 1.25 crochet hooks. (Crochet the pickle and heart 

with a 2 mm hook, and crochet the eyes, arms, and legs using a 

1.25 mm hook) 

Fiberfill for stuffing. 

Safety eyes, diameter 8 mm – 2 pieces. 

Iron wire (for beads, floristry), 0.5 mm thick, approx. half a meter 

long. 

A piece of pink felt or remnants of pink yarn. 

Glue. 

Yarn needle. 

 

Finished size: approximately 12 cm (4.7 inches)

Difficulty level: Easy

Basic amigurumi knowledge is recommended

Let's get started! 🧶💚

For the eyes take white lace cotton yarn and a 1.25 mm crochet hook. Work in spiral.  

Rnd 1: 15 sc in mr (15)  

Don't pull the ring tight, leave an opening. 

Rnd 2: slst in every st (15)  

Fasten off, weave in the yarn end. 

Insert the leg of the safety eye into the opening and pull the ring not too tightly.  

Hide and secure a yarn end on the wrong side

Work in spiral. Stuff as you go. 

In light green yarn. 

Rnd 1: 6 sc in mr (6) 

Rnd 2: 6 inc (12) 

Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) х 6 (18) 

Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) х 6 (24) 

Rnd 5: sc in every st. (24) 

Rnd 6: (3 sc, inc) х 6 (30) 

Rnds 7-16 (10 rounds): sc in every st. (30)

Mark where the eyes should go with tailor pins between Rounds 11 and 12, leaving a 

gap of 5 stitches between them. 

Carefully use embroidery scissors to slightly widen the gap between stitches at the eye 

spots without cutting them. Insert the eyes, attach the washers inside the pickle, stuff 

with fiberfill, and keep crocheting.

Rnd 17-28 (12 rounds): sc in every st. (30) 

Rnd 29: (3 sc, dec) x 6 (24) 

Rnd 30: sc in every st (24) 

Rnd 31: (2 sc, dec) x 6 (18) 

Rnd 32: (1 sc, dec) x 6 (12) 

Rnd 33: 6 dec (6) 

Add more stuffing. Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail. Weave the yarn tail through the front 

loops and pull tight to close. Hide the yarn end on the inside.

Embroider the cheeks with pink yarn. Another way to make the cheeks - cut out two small circles from pink felt and glue them on as cheeks.

Embroider the mouth with black lace cotton yarn, secure it with a drop of glue. Then, 

using the same yarn tail, embroider the eyebrows.

Mark the places for the arms with pins between rows 15 and 16, at a distance of 12 stitches. 

Use yellow green yarn to embroider the bumps on the pickle with French knots.

Start with the cups, make 2 

Work in spiral. Stuff as you go.  

In red yarn. 

Rnd 1: 6 sc in mr (6) 

Rnd 2: (1 sc, inc) x 3 (9) 

Rnd 3: sc in every st. (9) 

Fasten off and leave the yarn tail for sewing on the first cup. 

Repeat rounds 1 to 3 for the second cup, don’t fasten off. Now let's join both cups 

together. Insert the hook into a stitch of the first cup and start crocheting the 4th round.

Rnd 4: work 8 sc across the stitches of the first cup, skip one st., work 8 sc across the 

stitches of the second cup, skip one st. (16) 

After joining the two cups, we can see a small gap between them due to missed 

stitches. Sew up this gap with the yarn tail you left at the first cup.

Rnd 5: 3 sc, dec, 6 sc, dec, 3 sc (14) 

Rnd 6: sc in every st. (14) 

Rnd 7: 3 sc, dec, 5 sc, dec, 2 sc (12) 

Put stuffing inside. 

Rnd 8: 2 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 2 sc (10) 

Rnd 9: 2 sc, dec, 3 sc, dec, 1 sc (8)

Add more stuffing. Fasten off and leave a yarn tail for sewing. Weave the yarn tail through the front loops and pull tight to close. To securely close the hole, thread the yarn through the tightened loops once more. Hide the yarn end on the inside. 

Pull the yarn tail out through the side of the heart so that you can later use this thread 

to sew the heart onto the cucumber.

For the legs take black lace cotton yarn and a 1.25 mm crochet hook. 

Work in spiral. Don’t stuff.  

Rnd 1: 6 sc in mr (6) 

Rnd 2: (1 sc, inc) x 3 (9) 

Rnds 3-6 (4 rounds): sc in every st. (9)  

Rnd 7: (1 sc, dec) x 3 (6) 

Take an 18 cm long wire, fold it in half, and insert the bent side inside the leg.

Rnd 8: FLO dec, skip one st., dec, slst (4) 

Then, without cutting the yarn, crochet the wire around with 15 single crochets. Fasten off and leave a yarn tail for sewing. 

Bend the feet.

For the arms take black lace cotton yarn and a 1.25 mm crochet hook. 

Ch17 (main chain) and without cutting the yarn crochet the fingers: 

The 1st finger: start with the 2nd loop from the hook, 3 slst, 

The 2nd finger: ch4, start with the 2nd loop from the hook, 3 slst, 

The 3rd finger: ch4, start with the 2nd loop from the hook, 3 slst. 

Now, go back to the main chain and, without cutting the yarn, crochet 13 slst along the 

chain.

Sew the arms to the body at the marked places (the spots are between rows 15 and 16, 

positioned at a distance of 12 stitches).

Mark the spots where the legs will be attached, approximately 1 cm to each side of the tightened hole. Use the scissors to widen the gap between the stitches at the marked 

spots.

Insert the wire ends into the body up to the level of the leg stitches, ensuring the wire 

ends are fully immersed in the stuffing. Sew the leg to the body. 

 

Sew the heart to the body.

Put a drop of glue on the inner sides of the palms and then glue the palms to theheart.
