This adorable little dumpling is super cute and super easy to make! It’s crocheted all in one piece, which means there’s no sewing at all in this pattern! These dumplings would make for an adorable keychain. Let’s get started!

Dumpling:

In White

Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)
Round 2: *Inc* all around (12)
Round 3: *Inc, Sc in the next st* all around (18)
Now we will mark where to place the safety eyes. Add a different colored stitch marker into the 3rd and 5th stitch in Round 3. Later we will replace these markers with safety eyes.
Round 4: *Inc, Sc in the next 2 st* all around (24)
Round 5: *Inc, Sc in the next 3 st* all around (30)
Add the eyes into the marked areas now.
Round 6: *Inc, Sc in the next 4 st* all around (36)
Round 7: Fold the piece in half, the corner should be where the stitch marker (Pic 1-2).
