Free no-sew amigurumi hamburger crochet pattern

Hi everyone, this week I present to you: a free no-sew amigurumi hamburger crochet pattern! I am SUPER happy with how this pattern came out, it just looks super cute. I know a lot of you dislike sewing (something I don’t mind too much), but I always make sure to make things no-sew when possible. With that, we will be working in a lot of front and back loops in this pattern. The front loops will often be used to make things such as the tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc. The back loops will keep the regular stitches!

I should also mention that there’s another version of this pattern. If you want this hamburger to come apart, I have a stackable hamburger crochet pattern! This other version is perfect as children’s play food. Click here for the stackable hamburger version 🙂 .

Anyways, I had so much fun with this pattern. Even though it looks like a “bigger” amigurumi, it actually worked up really quickly. Mostly because the few rounds of making the meat and toppings work up a big bulk of the pattern.

I have really been wanting to make more food patterns, but don’t want to overwhelm you with them! If you like or dislike food patterns, please let me know. I have so many fun food pattern ideas written down 🙂 . As a short idea list here’s what I want to make: corn, an eggplant, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard bottles, hot dog, soda can/bottle. The list can go on and on! Anyways, let’s get to the pattern.

Round 19: Repeat *Sc in next st, bean st in the next st* all around (42)

Repeat *Yarn over, Insert hook into the next stitch, pull up a loop* into the same stitch a total of 3 times. You will have 7 loops on your hook (Pic 5). Yarn over (Pic 6) and pull through all 7 loops at the same time (Pic 7-8). Done!

Stuff the hamburger very firmly now. Make sure to add all stuffing because we won’t add anymore after this.

Optional: To make the bottom of the hamburger flat and able to sit better, we can add a piece of cardboard to the bottom. Place the hamburger onto a piece of cardboard. Trace around the base of the hamburger with a pen (Pic 1-2). Cut out the circle (Pic 3-4). Now stuff the cardboard into the hamburger (Pic 5).

In Black or Red Embroidery Thread

Insert needle with thread into the middle area as shown, and pull needle out one stitch over from the right eye (Pic 1). Reinsert needle into the same middle area, and pull needle out one stitch over from the left eye (Pic 2). Reinsert needle into the middle area, and pull needle out a few stitches away (Pic 3). Tie both tail ends of yarn into firm knots and bring the knots inside the hamburger to hide. Cut any excess thread.

Done! I hope you liked this pattern as much as I did. If you made this hamburger, I would LOVE to see it! You can show me by posting a picture in the comments, or you can “try” it on Pinterest.
