๐งถ Let's Talk About Labubu – The Cutest Crochet Trend Everyone's Hooking Right Now!
Hey friends! ๐
Okay, I have to tell you about something that’s been all over my feed lately – cute little Labubu crochet dolls. Have you seen them? They’re part adorable, part mischievous, and totally irresistible. I couldn’t help myself… I had to try making one!
So today, I’m sharing everything I found while going down the Labubu rabbit hole – where to get patterns, what you’ll need, and some little tips to make your Labubu doll stand out. Let’s get into it!
๐พ Wait, Who is Labubu?
Labubu is a character from The Monsters collection by Pop Mart – kind of a funky little gremlin with wild hair, a big smile, and that slightly creepy-but-cute vibe we can’t get enough of. And now? People are crocheting them – and honestly, they look even cuter in yarn!
๐งถ What You’ll Need To Crochet Labubu
You don’t need anything too fancy, just the usual amigurumi stuff. Here's what I used (or similar):
-
Yarn – soft acrylic or cotton works great (I used beige, red, and brown)
-
2.0mm or 2.5mm crochet hook
-
Safety eyes (or black yarn for embroidery)
-
Stuffing (polyfill or whatever you like)
-
Yarn needle, stitch marker, and scissors

๐จ Fun Ways to Customize Your Labubu
One of the best parts about making your own Labubu is that you can really get creative. Here are some fun ideas:
✨ Use fuzzy yarn for the hair – makes it extra wild!
✨ Add a little backpack or tiny plush accessory
✨ Try different facial expressions or eye sizes
✨ Make a Labubu keychain version (they’re so cute on bags)
Oh, and if your yarn is always a mess like mine, this bag helps a ton:

๐งต Final Thoughts
Crocheting Labubu was so much fun. It’s a little different from your usual animals and plushies, which makes it even more interesting to work on. Plus, it’s kind of a conversation piece — everyone who sees it asks about it!
If you’re looking for your next project, I 100% recommend giving Labubu a try. It’s weird, it’s cute, it’s fun – and that’s exactly why we crochet, right?
Until next time,
Stay cozy & keep creating!
