• Getting Started

The coffee bean is made all in one piece! To start, we make a foundation chain and work around in. The bean is worked starting at the right side, working to the middle and then the left.

To give the bean some shape we will sew down the dark brown part to make an indent.

Grab your coffee and crochet hook. Let’s get started!

Coffee Bean

To start the bean we will start by making a foundation chain. We will work entirely around the chain to make a round!

Coffee Bean Indent:

In Dark Brown

Insert needle into the back tip of the bean (Pic 1) and pull the needle to the front tip part of the bean (Pic 2). Insert needle 1 stitch down (Pic 3) and pull needle directly at bottom side of the bean (Pic 4).

3. 4.

Insert needle one stitch down (Pic 5) and pull needle out the same area, at the front of the bean (Pic 6). Be sure to pull the yarn firmly to make the indent. Repeat this process down the top brown part of the bean (Pic 7).

5. 6.

Once doing that, insert the needle and pull it out to where the next dark brown part starts (Pic 8). Pull needle out to the front of the bean (Pic 9) then insert needle one stitch down (Pic 10-11). Repeat this until the the lower part of the bean is completely indented!

Smile:

In Black Embroidery Thread

Insert needle with thread under and one stitch over from the right eye. Pull needle out a few stitches to the left (Pic 1). Pull the thread through (Pic 2). Go through the the same first stitch and pull out the same stitch we pulled out of (Pic 3-4). Repeat this 3-4 times for a regular smile (Pic 5).

For a happier smile, repeat this process but move on to the stitches right below the ones we were working on. Only go between 1 stitch now to get that “triangle” look! (Pic 6-8).
