Chocolate is always the answer.

The best thing about amigurumi is that it’s a craft that can be done all year round. However, some projects make more sense during specific times of the year. This project is perfect for anytime because chocolate is always the answer to any problem you may have! And there’s something just so satisfying about eating chocolate straight from the bar itself. But even more satisfying – making your own.

I am particularly excited about this project because my relationship with chocolate is so much better than it has been during my entire 20’s. From the ages of 21 – 26, I have not been able to enjoy any of it because of allergy. Unfortunately, it was triggering my migraines and they were insufferable. You can imagine why it had made me nervous to it. If you’ve had those migraines that knock you out for a day or more, you know how terrible they can be. 

Over the past year, I have been able to introduce tiny amounts of chocolate into my diet and I am now able to enjoy it with moderation. I have missed it dearly and this project is sort of my “celebration” for it. A smaller reason was because at the time of publishing this pattern,  Valentines Day has just passed – chocolate always go hand in hand! And since its on sale now, free is not a bad price.

Do you love Chocolate as much as I do?

Or is there another dessert that you like more? Let me know down below – I have teamed up with JOANN to create this cute and easy pattern to share with all of you! We all deserve a treat and I think you will have plenty fun making it for yourself. 

JOANN is always helping me spark my creativity and when it comes to sweets, it knows no bounds. They’ve become my go to when it comes to materials, especially the yarn I use! As a blogger, creating my own designs is made easy with them. They’re sweeter than chocolate when it comes to choices.

If you have experience with single crocheting and a little bit of sewing, this pattern will be more than accessible for you. You can now get started on this pattern for FREE with all the written and photo instructions down below. The best part? You’re not limited to only milk chocolate. You can swap out any colors your desire to create your favorite flavors – would love to see a strawberry one!

When offering patterns to my readers with the help of JOANN, I am always aiming to make these patterns as simple and accessible as possible but also make the final outcome look complex enough to be proud of. This pattern isn’t working in the round so if you only know how to work in the row, this pattern is made for you.

Other criteria someone might meet who would enjoy this project:

– Chocolate Lovers

– Crocheters who don’t know how or don’t like to work in the round (This pattern is worked in the row!)

– Looking to make a quick gift

– Beginners who have experience with the single crochet

– Besides sewing, easy to watch TV project.

Learn how to make both a dark and white chocolate bar!

 

So where can you find what you need?

You can find every single thing I used for this project from JOANN stores and you will see all of that hyperlinked for you. JOANN is my favorite place to go for materials and the yarn I love the most for amigurumi can be exclusively found there as well. When purchasing, I earn a little bit of the commission, so thank you for supporting me as a blogger!

This project is a perfect choice for those who love their chocolate / sweets but don’t want to have to deal with all the calories and sugar that come along with it. This is just as sweet, look at that little face! It can also be a great gift for those in your life who are always trying to satisfy that sweet tooth.

Let’s Begin!

Main Body (Make 2 Panels)

Begin in Color A, we will be starting from the bottom “wrapper” and working our way up towards the chocolate.

Ch 19

Row 1: In 3rd chain from the hook, sc. Single crochet across (17) (if your tension is too loose for the first chain and you need it tighter, feel free to chain 18 and sc into the second chain from the hook for a total of 17)

Row 2 – 10: Ch 1, turn. Sc across (17)

 

Switch to Color B by pulling the yarn through the last 2 loops of your final single crochet.

 

 

Row 11: Ch 1, turn. Sc into BLO only across (17) 

 

 

Here is how working in in the BLO will look when working across!

 

 

 

Row 12 – 25: Ch 1, turn. Sc across (17)

When finished with the first panel, finish off. When finishing second panel, leave active yarn attached as we will be single crocheting our two panels together this way.

 

 

Chocolate squares (Make 4)

Begin in Color B

Chain 5

Row 1: Sc in 3rd chain from hook, sc. Sc across (3) 

Row 2 – 3: Ch 1, turn. Sc across (3)

Row 4: Ch 1, (sc x 3) into first stitch on side of the square.

 

Sc across until next corner and sc x 3 into the last stitch. 

 

 

Continue this around the entire square. When reaching the first corner that you performed a (sc x 3) into, sl st and finish off.

 

 

Finish off and leave tail for sewing.

 

 

 

 

 

Assembly

Attaching the Panels

1. Place the front panel (with the yarn still attached and the front loops facing you) laid on top of the back panel with the front loops still on the outside.

 

With the front panel, ch 1. Insert your hook into the next stitch on the edge of your work through BOTH panels.

 

 

Sc across into each stitch across – here is how your “border” will begin to look. 

 

 

Sc all the way down Color B until you reach the color change of Color A. When pulling through the last 2 loops of your final single crochet of Color B, pull the next color through both loops. 

 

 

 

Sc in Color A all the down until the corner. Into the corner stitch, Sc x 3. Your work will begin to turn

 

 

Sc across the next side and perform 3 single crochet into the following corner stitch. 

 

 

Now, insert both the safety eyes. Starting from the first stitch on the bottom (not the very edge but first stitch where we single crocheted into the border) Count 4 rows up and insert the safety eyes with 9 stitches apart.

 

 

 

Working your way up on the next side, continue single crocheting into each stitch and color changing just like we did before. Begin stuffing your work with polyfill however firmly you wish.

 

 

Sc x 3 into the next corner. Continue single crocheting until the final corner and be sure to be stuffing your project and the hole gets smaller. 

 

Sl st into the final stitch and finish off.

 

Sewing on the chocolate 

1. With the tail threaded through the darning needle, insert the needle into the top right to begin. To find the best placement, insert into the top right corner with 2 stitch above and 2 stitches to the right. 

 

(Notice in the photo below that there are two rows of stitches above and 2 row of stitches to the right)

 

 

Continue weaving through to attach and working along the square onto the main body

 

 

Keeping one row in between the next all the squares, sew on the next three squares into the panels.

 

 

As seen, there is 1 row separating each square from one another.

 

 

Folded Wrapper

Into the front loops, attach your Color A yarn into the first loop. (Color B will be closest to you and you will be working from right to left.)

 

 

Single crochet into the first loop. Single crochet into the next 3 loops (4 total)

 

 

1. Hdc into the next 4 loops – Switch to the silver yarn on the last Hdc when pulling through the last 3 loops.

 

 

Dc into the next 4 loops. Tr into the final 5 loops. Finish off and leave tail.

 

 

We will be doing the same thing on the other side as well!

1. When attaching into the loops, start from left to right and begin with the soft grey yarn. TR into the first stitch and tr into the next 4 stitches (5 total)
2.  Dc into he next 4 loops, pull Color A into through the last two loops of the double crochet.
3. Hdc into the next 4 loops.
4. Sc into the next 4 loops and finish off.

 

Embroider 

1. (For white chocolate, use cream. For dark chocolate, use black) With your yarn and darning needle, pull the indicated color through all 4 sides of each side of the square. Do this for every square on the chocolate. 

 

Embroider all face details on – making sure to add the lashes, smile, and blush!

 

 

Cut all ends and push into your work.

 

We’re done!
