The cutest little Marshmallows

Hey there, cosy crochet friend!

Say hello to The Cutest Little Marshmallows, two tiny squishy sweethearts who are soft, fluffy, and fully prepared to become the most unnecessary-but-absolutely-essential thing you make this week.

This little duo is sweet, simple, and perfect for those moments when you want a quick project that delivers maximum cuteness with minimal drama. Unlike tangled yarn, counting stitches after midnight, or trying to find the end of a chenille skein. We do not speak of that.

Inside this pattern, you’ll crochet two adorable marshmallow friends: one soft pink, one pale and dreamy, and both very serious about bringing cosy hot-cocoa energy wherever they go. They make lovely little gifts, market makes, desk buddies, or tiny emotional support treats for anyone who believes snacks are better with faces.

So grab your hook, your fluffiest yarn, and your beverage of choice. Coffee, cocoa, tea, matcha— no judgement here. Let’s bring these squishy little sweethearts to life.

The cutest little marshmallows

R1: 6 sc in a magic ring. (6)
R2: Inc in all. (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) repeat 6 times. (18)
R4: BLO in all. (18)
R5-R9: Sc in all. (18)

Place the safety eyes between R6 and R7, about 3 stitches apart. Embroider the smile in the middle.

R10: BLO, sc in each stitch around. (18)
R11: (1 sc, dec) repeat 6 times. (12)

Stuff the body firmly

R12: Dec around. (6)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Using your yarn needle, weave the tail through the remaining front loops and pull gently to close the opening.

To help flatten the top and avoid a bumpy amigurumi shape, take the long tail down through the body and out through the magic ring at the bottom. Gently pull until the top flattens slightly into a soft marshmallow shape. Once you’re happy with the shape, secure the yarn and weave in the end.
