It all started during the height of the Valentine’s Day Pink Stanley quencher craze. Social media was overflowing with vibrant drinkware, and I thought—why not turn that into a cuddly crochet version? That spark of inspiration led me to create not just one, but two adorable plush tumblers: one real-size, and one extra jumbo, for those who love big, squishy projects.
I began with the handle, shaping it for a sturdy yet huggable grip. Then came the body of the cup—stitched seamlessly and stuffed as I progressed. The lid and straw lock were the final touches, crocheted and sewn on to bring the tumbler to life.
This project is as fun as it is beginner-friendly, especially if you enjoy working with bulky and super bulky chenille yarn. So, grab your yarn, your hook, and your favorite stitch marker—because we’re about to make the cutest, most huggable crochet tumbler you’ve ever seen!
But before you begin…

Amigurumi Tumbler Instructions
Before you begin, you may find these crochet resources helpful to make this Amigurumi Tumbler: How to Create a Magic Circle, a list of the Best Supplies and Tools to Make Amigurumi, and How to Crochet a Perfect Circle.
Step 1: Handle (pink or gray)
Ch 12 and slip st to 1st ch to form a ring.
Rnd1: sc in each ch around. [12]
Rnd2-45: sc around. [12]
The finished tube for the handle will be about 8 1/4 inches (21 cm) long and 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) wide, assuming you use the recommended material and meet the specified gauge. Also, there is no need to stuff the handle.
Tip: For a sturdier handle, try inserting a flexible piece, such as a strip of transparent EVA sheet, before attaching it to the cup. Cut it slightly narrower than the tube, then insert it before attaching.
Cut the yarn and FO. Wait until you attach the other end to fold it in two spots to shape it as a handle. Use fewer rounds if you want the handle smaller, but keep in mind the folded ends will need to be shorter. Then, set aside.
Step 2: Amigurumi Tumbler’s Bottom (pink or dark gray)
Rnd1: 6 sc in a mc
Rnd2: (inc) 6 x. [12]
Rnd3: (inc, sc) 6 x. [18]
Rnd4: (inc, sc 2) 6 x. [24]
Rnd5: (inc, sc 3) 6 x. [30]
Rnd6: (inc, sc 4) 6 x. [36]
Rnd7: (inc, sc 5) 6 x. [42]
Rnd8: (inc, sc 6) 6 x. [48]
Rnd9: bpsc around. Do not cut the yarn yet. [48]
Tip: To flatten the bottom of the tumbler, cut a round piece of sturdy cardboard or EVA sheet. Make it slightly smaller in diameter than the bottom of the cup. Then, place it inside at the bottom before stuffing it.
Step 3: Cup’s Body (pink or dark gray)
Rnd10-26: sc around. [48]
Rnd27: (inc in flo, sc in next 15 sts in flo) 3 x. [51]
Rnd28: sc around. [51]
Rnd29: (inc, sc in next 16 sts) 3 x. [54]
Rnd30: (inc, sc in next 17 sts) 3 x. [57]
Attach one end of the handle to the first 6 stitches in round 33 and the other end to round 59, making sure they are properly aligned. To start, squeeze the first end of the tube, single crochet in all 6 stitches, inserting the hook through all layers of stitches. Then, finish the round normally with single crochet stitches (repeat the process with the second end).
Rnd31-62: sc around. [57]
Cut the yarn. FO. Switch to gray or light blue yarn.
Rnd63-64: sc around. [57]
Cut the yarn, FO, and set it aside for now.
Attaching the eyes: Next, select any spot to feature as the face of your Amigurumi tumbler (I’m right-handed, so I made my tumbler face me when I hold it). Attach the safety eyes between rounds 51 and 52 (12 stitches apart), before you add stuffing fiber.
Step 4: Top Circle of the Lid (Off-white yarn)
Rnd1: 6 sc in a mc
Rnd2: (inc) 6 x. [12]
Rnd3: (inc, sc) 6 x. [18]
Rnd4: (inc, sc 2) 6 x. [24]
Rnd5: (inc, sc 3) 6 x. [30]
Rnd6: (inc, sc 4) 6 x. [36]
Rnd7: (inc, sc 5) 6 x. [42]
Rnd8: (inc, sc 6) 6 x. [48]
Rnd9: (inc, sc 7) 6 x. [54]
Rnd10: (inc, sc 17) 3 x. [57]
FO, cut the yarn and set aside.
Next, attach the off-white yarn to any stitch in round 64 (the gray yarn round on the edge of the cup) and crochet one round of sc sts. Do not cut the yarn yet.
Tip: To make the top of the Amigurumi tumbler flat, you can cut a circle out of cardboard or EVA sheet, just like you did with the bottom.
Step 5: Attaching the lid circle (off-white)
Stuff the cup before proceeding to the following steps. Then, do this:
- Place the lid circle on top of the cup with the right side out.
- Next, insert the hook in both loops of the sts in the edge of the cup and both loops of the sts in the last round of the lid, and do a sc, one at a time, until you complete round 2 with the off-white yarn.
- Lastly, crochet 3 more rounds with the same yarn. All these 5 rounds will have 57 sts each.
- Cut the yarn and FO.
Step 6: Lid lock (gray and pink)
I haven’t added a lid lock on the jumbo Amigurumi tumbler, but you can if you’d like.
Start with gray yarn. Ch 17
Rnd1: sc 3 in 2nd ch from hook, sc in top loop of the next 14 chs, sc 3 in last ch, rotate, sc in opposite loops of the same 14 chs. [34]
Switch to pink.
Rnd2: *(inc) 3 times, sc in next 14 sts, rep from the asterisk one more time. [40]
Rnd3: *(inc, sc) 3 times, sc in next 14 sts, rep from the asterisk one more time. [46]
FO and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread a tapestry needle with the tail and sew the lid lock onto the top of the lid. Sewing pins can help hold it in place while sewing.
Step 7: Straw (off-white)
Tip: Making a small tube like this can be a bit tricky, but it’s doable. If you know other ways to crochet a straw, feel free to use your own method. An iCord is also an option.
Ch 4 and slip st to 1st ch to form a ring.
Rnd1: sc in each ch around. [4]
Rnd2 to 4” (10 cm) or to the desired straw length: sc around. [4]
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tapestry needle with this tail and sew the straw’s end to the top of the Amigurumi tumbler’s lid. FO. Weave in all remaining ends.
Your super Amigurumi tumbler is done. I hope you’ve had a great time making it.
