Crochet Amigurumi Berry Pancakes Pattern

Pancake, Bottom Side

With beige yarn:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x6 (12)
3. (sc, inc)x6 (18)
4. (sc, inc, sc)x6 (24)
5. (inc, 3 sc)x6 (30)
6. (2 sc, inc, 2 sc)x6 (36)
7. (inc, 5 sc)x6 (42)
8. 42 sc (42).

Fasten off, hide the yarn tail, and cut.

Pancake, Top Side

With beige yarn:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x6 (12)
3. (sc, inc)x6 (18)
4. (sc, inc, sc)x6 (24)
5. (inc, 3 sc)x6 (30)
6. (2 sc, inc, 2 sc) x6 (36)
7. (inc, 5 sc)x6 (42).

Now place the top pancake piece onto the bottom one (wrong side to wrong side) so the stitches of the last rounds line up with each other.

Using the working yarn, crochet around the side of the pancake with single crochet, inserting the hook through both the top and bottom pieces at the same time.

When 10 stitches remain open, stuff the pancake with a small amount of synthetic filling, or do not stuff it at all. Then finish the round in regular single crochet.

Fasten off, hide the yarn tail, and cut. Crochet one or two more pancakes.

Plate

With white yarn:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x6 (12)
3. (sc, inc)x6 (18)
4. (sc, inc, sc)x6 (24)
5. (inc, 3 sc)x6 (30)
6. (2 sc, inc, 2 sc)x6 (36)
7. (inc, 5 sc)x6 (42)
8. (3 sc, inc, 3 sc)x6 (48)
9. (inc, 7 sc)x6 (54)
10. (4 sc, inc, 4 sc)x6 (60)
11. (inc, 9 sc)x6 (66).

Bring the working yarn to the wrong side, fasten off, hide and cut it, and do the same with the yarn tail from the magic ring.

You can decorate the plate, for example, with French knot embroidery as I did.

Keep in mind that you will not be able to fully hide the threads left on the wrong side of the plate. They will look like this:

To decorate the plate with embroidery, first thread green yarn through a needle with a large eye. In rounds 9-10 of the plate, make 5 "V-shapes" for leaves, each one spaced by two sc from the next one (see photo).

Do not tie a knot on the wrong side, just leave a longer yarn tail and do not pull it all the way through.

When the V-shapes are done, leave a long green tail. Thread blue yarn into a large-eye needle. Now embroider a little flower inside each V-shape: from the wrong side, insert the needle into the free space between the single crochet stitches inside the V-shape (again, no need to secure the thread on the wrong side) as shown:

Then wrap the blue yarn around the needle twice, and insert the needle back into the same place where you brought it out.

Pull the yarn through slowly so it does not twist.

Repeat the same action 4 more times.

Now hide the 4 tails (2 blue and 2 green) from the wrong side. With each tail, tie a knot under the threads formed by the embroidery, bring the tail to the right side, and trim it as short as possible (as close to the plate as possible). On the wrong side, you can secure the knots with a drop of PVA glue.

Stack the pancakes and place them on the plate. Then, using white yarn, stitch through the plate and pancakes 2-3 times. You may need pliers because the needle can pass through tightly.

After that, fasten the white yarn on the wrong side of the plate, hide it, and cut it.

Butter

With pale yellow yarn:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x6 (12)
3. Be careful! In this round, we crochet melted butter that loosely resembles a little sun with rays. We already crocheted the "sun" part, now we make the "rays": (10 ch, starting from the second chain from the hook 9 sc, 2 sc, 3 ch, starting from the second chain from the hook 2 sc, 2 sc)x3, but in the last stitch of the round, make a sl st instead of sc. Bring the yarn to the wrong side, fasten it, and cut it. Place the butter on top of the pancake stack and pin it in place.

Chocolate Syrup

With brown yarn, make a chain of the needed number of chain stitches (I got 43), place it on the butter and pancakes in any order, and secure with pins.

Blueberries

With dark blue yarn:

1. 6 sc in MR (6)
2. inc x6 (12)
Fasten off and cut the MR tail.
3-5. 12 sc (12)
Stuff the berry with synthetic filling.
6. 6 dec (6).

Leave a long yarn tail for sewing, or fasten off, hide, and cut if you are going to glue it.

Leaves

With green yarn:

1. 5 ch, then starting from the 2nd chain from the hook: inc, 2 sc, 4 sc in one stitch, inc, 2 sc, inc, sl st.

Fasten and hide the yarn tail from the beginning of the work, then cut it. Leave a long working yarn tail for sewing, or fasten, hide, and cut it if you are going to glue.

Crochet one or several more berries and place them on the pancakes.

Remove the pins and start gradually sewing or gluing the decorations in this order: butter, chocolate syrup, berries.
