Cup Ramen Amigurumi Free Crochet Pattern
I hope you know what this weeks pattern is – a free ramen amigurumi crochet pattern! The few people that I showed this ramen to said they loved it! I think it’s because ramen is such a culturally relevant thing to us, we all know what it is and most of us LOVE it 🙂 I know when I was younger this was one of the things I ate most. Can any of you relate?
I’m sure most of you know that these ramen cups are cheap to buy. What’s not to love, a cheap meal that’s made in only a few minutes?! It’s no wonder this cup ramen is so loved throughout Asia to America! Are these popular in other parts of the world, like Australia or something? Let me know 🙂
This version of the ramen is probably the classic chicken kind, but you can spice it up. Maybe add a piece of shrimp in there, or an egg. It’s up to you! Included in this pattern are the peas, carrots, and corn. Hopefully this pattern brings a smile to your face, make it for somebody you love!

To make the ramen, we first have to make the top “soup part”. After this, we will make the cup. We start at the bottom of the cup and work our way up. Next, we will crochet the soup and cup together! After this, we will make the noodles and vegetables. The lid is optional, but looks pretty cute with it!
Let’s get started 🙂

To make the ramen, we first make to make the top soup part. This is because later when we make the cup, we will crochet the cup and soup together! So be sure to make the soup part first.

Step 2. You will have a circle (Pic 2). Cut around the circle with scissors (Pic 3-4)
Step 3. Place the circle into the bottom of the cup (Pic 5).

Round 24: *Sc* all around (48)
Finish off. Weave in ends.
Noodles:
This is an optional step, but to make the noodles look curly we can crochet a circle and let it sit out for a few hours or overnight. Then, once we unravel the circle the yarn will look curly like ramen noodles! You can skip this step and just use a long piece of yarn if preferred.
Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)
Round 2: *Inc* all around (12)
Round 3: *Inc, Sc* all around (18)
Round 4: *Inc, Sc 2* all around (24)
Round 5: *Inc, Sc 3* all around (30)
You will have a circle. You can let this sit for a few hours (or overnight) so when we undo the stitches it will look curly. Undo all of the stitches (Pic 2). Place the noodles on top of the soup and secure down strands of the noodles by sewing them down (Pic 3-5). Do this until some of the noodles are secures.

I saw your cup of noodles ramen on Pamela’s Adoring Crochet. I love your pattern. I’ve never made amigurumi before but I would love to try this! Your pattern page layout is very inviting. I can’t wait to see what else you have. Thanks.
Saw your pattern and made one for a very surprised friend. Now I have to make 4 more because everyone loved it so much! Thanks for the great pattern.
I’m new to crochet, nearly a month in I discovered your pattern and just HAD to give it a try! So easy to follow, and so creative! Thankyou for sharing it with us ❤

Just finished! These were my first amigurumi projects! I made them for my 2 teens. I used plastic canvas circles instead of tracing cardboard. My kids were noticeable excited. Totally worth it!
My very first amigurimi ever!! I love it!! She’s adorable. I followed the pattern exactly. I don’t know why she came out so fat rather than tall. Any ideas?? But none the less she’s adorable!!
PS…I added a hard boiled egg as my daughter loves eggs in her ramen 😉
De que tamaño queda?
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern!! I just love all your patterns, and when I saw this one, I knew I HAD to make it! I love cup-n-noodles and there is a very funny story I have about them. I’ll try too make a brief summary tho. So basically when I was like three or four me and my family went to big bear and my brother was asking my mom if he could bring some ramen cups. And my mom thought he would bring like 4 or 5 little cups but he brought the entire package! Skip forward a little and there was a large snow storm that had completely covered our car. My parents had only bought enough food for the weekend. And we stayed there three extra days surviving on cup-n-noodles and snow cones. And it was thanks to my older brother. (Sry it was so long)
Thank you so much for sharing this free pattern. It’s so adorable.
Wow!!! You did a great job for only doing it for 1 month. I haven’t started yet, but in the process. Lol. My husband bought me a beginners crochet set for xmas so when we go camping I have a little hobby. Gives me hope that it’s not going to be as difficult as I thought.
