I may have officially lost it… or maybe this is peak creativity?
Either way, I’m thrilled to share my newest free crochet pattern with you: a soft, squishy bao… with buns (an extra cheeky surprise in the back). 🍑
Yes, you read that right. This amigurumi bao comes with BUTT CHEEKS — and I’m not even sorry.
It's funny, it's adorable, and it might just be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever designed (in the best way possible).
Whether you're a fan of food-themed plushies, can’t resist a good pun, or just need a lighthearted project to make you smile, this one’s for you.
And if you’re a total beginner, I got you. I even made a crochet video tutorial for this one:
