Week 3 of our Christmas in July event is here! I'm so happy to share this sweet amigurumi pattern for Hot Cocoa and Cookies! Thumbprint Cookies to be exact!
They're one of our favorite winter cookies, alongside sugar cookies (which their pattern could totally double for)!
What is Christmas in July?
Each July the sweet Amanda of Loops and Love Crochet and I team up to bring you 4 new fun and free patterns to get a head start on your Winter makes. Whether you're looking for some homemade gifts, items to prepare for a craft fair or to use in your decor we have you covered!
For more details on our event head to this page here! You can also find the links for our first 2 patterns!
If you're new to amigurumi this is a fun project to start out on. There's minimal stuffing and sewing involved! Be sure to also check out these helpful tutorials to walk you through the different methods we'll be using throughout the pattern!
