Conclusion

Your adorable crochet coffee cup keychain (or plush toy) is complete! This simple amigurumi is an ideal quick gift, bag charm, or desk companion.

Pattern Correction

• If your cup base puckers or ruffles, check your tension and increase sequence.
• If your sides are not straight, ensure BLO is used at the right round to "turn" the sides upward.
• Handle too loose or tight? Adjust stitch count or round total for size and shaping.

Tips

• Use a firm, tight tension for sturdy amigurumi—no stuffing should show.
• Stuff as you sew for the neatest finish—avoid over- or understuffing.
• Personalize with different facial expressions, embroidery, or blush for extra charm!
• Make larger or smaller cups by changing yarn weight and hook size.
