Hey there!
Summer is just around the corner, so it’s time to start making some summer plushies and toys! I’ve decided this year I’m making my younger siblings some play food, and I’ll share the patterns I design for them with you!
To start I’ll be posting this squishy marshmallow amigurumi pattern! Now, he’s a little bigger than your average marshmallow, but who wouldn’t want a super-size marshmallow?
Some of my favorite memories of summertime are in my grandparents’ backyard roasting marshmallows and making smores with my cousins. We’d get so sticky, if we fell down we’d look like mud monsters with all the dirt stuck to our faces and hands!
Marshmallows also hold a special place in my heart because of marshmallow fondant, which is one of my favorite confections to make! It’s basically marshmallows and powdered sugar turned into a dough, which you then roll out and put on cakes. Now, fondant from the store is disgusting, of that I’m sure we agree, but homemade fondant is actually quite delicious if done right.
Marshmallows have so many uses, but the best one for this amigurumi is for sure pretend tea parties or pillow fights. Leaving off the eyes might be a good idea if your kids are prone to throwing things at people’s heads…
This design in particular was for an event, but I decided that simple patterns like this are probably better to share with you as a free pattern and leave the more complicated, even cuter patterns for events and for listing in my pattern stores.
I hope you enjoy making your squishy little marshmallow amigurumi!
Leave a comment with suggestions for the food I should make next!
