Materials & Tools

Before we start, let’s make sure you have everything you need. This Crochet Labubu tutorial is beginner-friendly, so don’t worry just gather these simple supplies:

• Yarn: Use medium-weight (worsted) or soft acrylic yarn for flexibility and a plush feel. Choose colors like beige, light brown, or soft pink for the body, and darker tones for facial details.

• Crochet Hook: A 3.0mm or 3.5mm hook works perfectly for a tight stitch that holds shape well.

• Fiberfill Stuffing: Essential for giving your Labubu that squishy, huggable texture.

• Stitch Markers: Help you track rounds easily especially important for keeping your Labubu symmetrical.

• Yarn Needle & Scissors: For sewing on parts and weaving in ends cleanly.

• Optional Accessories:

  • Safety Eyes or Embroidery Thread for eyes (big, expressive eyes are a must for Labubu!).

  • Keychain Ring if you want to turn your Labubu into a charm or bag accessory.

  • Blush or Fabric Paint for soft cheek details.

Pro Tip: Always use a smaller hook than your yarn recommends — it keeps stuffing from peeking through the stitches.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to create your own Crochet Labubu plush? Follow these easy steps and you’ll have one ready in about an hour!

 1. Start with the Head

Begin with a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into it. Pull tight to close.

• Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch (12)

• Round 3: 1 sc, 2 sc in next repeat (18)

• Round 4-7: Continue in single crochets to build height.

The round shape forms Labubu’s signature big head.

2. Shape the Ears

For each ear:

• Chain 10, then sc down the chain.

• Slip stitch back to the base.
  Attach both ears to the top of the head, slightly angled outward for that playful look.

 3. Add the Face

Use black thread or safety eyes for the eyes spaced wide apart for that classic Labubu expression. Embroider a little smirk or toothy grin below the eyes. Add blush or pink yarn stitches for cheeks if you like!

 4. Make the Body

Start with another magic ring and build a small oval shape by increasing until it’s slightly smaller than the head. Crochet a few rounds straight to give it height, then decrease to close. Lightly stuff before sealing.

 5. Attach and Stuff

Sew the head and body together securely. Add stuffing before closing to make your Labubu plush firm but soft.

 6. Finishing Touches

Add small details maybe a bow tie, a mini scarf, or even tiny paws! A sprinkle of personality makes each Labubu unique.

And there you go your very own handmade Labubu crochet doll ready in under an hour!
