Have You Ever Tried Free Crochet Labubu Patterns and Felt Lost?

Have you ever searched for free crochet Labubu patterns and ended up disappointed by incomplete directions or confusing diagrams? I’ve been there. The first time I tried making a Labubu, it was supposed to be a cute gift for my niece’s birthday. But let me tell you, what came off my hook looked more like a sea urchin than a monster doll.

That experience lit a fire in me. I knew I could do better, but only if I could find reliable, well-written, free crochet Labubu patterns with clear instructions, stitch counts, and photos. But when even Ravelry’s massive pattern library didn’t offer anything clear enough, I knew I had to make my own. And now, after many stitches and cups of tea, I’ve gathered the very best ones to help you succeed, just like I did with my first amigurumi project.

My First Labubu Crochet Adventure (and Why I Had to Share)

I still remember the first time I came across Labubu, those wide eyes, the mischievous smile, and that quirky charm instantly melted my heart. I was scrolling through a Russian crochet group when a tiny yellow Labubu plushie popped up. It wasn’t just cute, it had personality. I knew right then I had to make one of my own.

Back then, there weren’t many free crochet Labubu patterns available in English. Most tutorials were scattered across forums, untranslated, or missing key steps. So I did what any determined crocheter would do: I grabbed my yarn, stitched and frogged through the confusion, and learned the hard way. But oh, was it worth it!

After weeks of trial, I finally held my own Labubu, in soft pink yarn with a squishy belly and stitched grin. It became my granddaughter’s favorite bedtime buddy. That little plush brought more smiles than I ever imagined. That’s why I’m thrilled to share this step-by-step free crochet Labubu pattern with you, adapted from the original Russian version, translated clearly, and tested by my own aging but steady hands.

This guide breaks down every part of the Labubu, from head to tiny toes, in easy-to-follow steps with detailed images. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned hooker, you’ll find the joy of stitching this whimsical character just as rewarding as I did.

And here’s the best part: it’s completely free.

A Wobbly Start and a Lesson in Determination

When I first tried this Labubu pattern, I didn’t have the right yarn. I used leftovers from an old bunny project, fuzzy yellow for the body and pale beige for the face. The result? A plushie that looked more like a confused chicken than a mythical monster. My color changes were clumsy, and the ears were sewn backward (oops!).

But with each attempt, my stitches got neater, my tension improved, and I discovered the importance of strategic yarn choices. Eventually, I landed on a soft pink Alize Softy for the body, and suddenly, Labubu came to life.

Tools & Step-by-Step Instructions for FREE Crochet Labubu Patterns

What You’ll Need to Start Your Labubu (Materials & Setup)

Before diving into the stitches, let’s set you up for success. These free crochet Labubu patterns are built on simple materials, and everything listed here has been tested and tweaked by these very hands. Remember, we’re making the adorable pink Labubu version, soft, sweet, and perfect for gifting.

The Right Yarn and Tools (That Actually Work)

For this version of Labubu, I used:

• Alize Softy in soft pink (body)
• YarnArt Jeans in beige (face, feet, hands, ears, and brows)
• Crochet hooks: 1.75 mm and 2.0 mm
• White soft felt (for eyes)
• Black and white acrylic paint (for pupils and highlights)
• Brown, black, and white embroidery thread (for nose, mouth, and teeth)
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Long needle for assembling
• “Moment Crystal” glue

If you’re following other free crochet Labubu patterns, you might find different hook sizes or brands suggested , and that’s okay. Just make sure your yarn and hook are a good match for tight, plushy stitches, or check this yarn weight, gauge, and hook size guide to get it right. This helps prevent stuffing from poking through.

🧵 Face Details (Eyes, Nose, Mouth & Embroidery)

Now that our Labubu plushie is stitched together from ears to legs, it’s time to give this little character some real personality. This is where the magic happens!

🧶 Materials Needed:

• Black embroidery floss or fine black yarn (for mouth and nose)
• White and black safety eyes (or you can crochet/felt your own)
• Thin needle
• Scissors
• Optional: A white thread for small tooth stitching

✨ Steps:

1. Eyes:
   • Use 10 mm black safety eyes or crochet two small circles with white yarn and sew tiny black pupils.
   • Position them about 5–6 rounds down from the center of the head, spaced about 8 stitches apart.
   • Secure tightly from inside the head. If needed, use a hot needle method to pierce fuzzy yarn cleanly.
2. Nose:
   • Embroider a tiny triangular nose centered between the eyes, about 2 rows below, using black floss.
   • Stitch 3–4 tiny satin stitches stacked to shape a small nose blob.
3. Mouth:
   • Use a long black thread and embroider the signature mischievous smile—a slight curve beneath the nose.
   • Add small vertical lines to make “teeth” if you’d like. I recommend 3 or 5 to keep it symmetrical.
4. Eyebrows & Detail (Optional):
   • Use small angled stitches above the eyes to give a cheeky expression.
   • Keep it simple, Labubu’s charm is in the expression!

🧸 Let’s Assemble Your Pink Labubu — Piece by Piece!

Now that every part is finished and fluffed, it’s time to bring your adorable Labubu to life. This is where the magic happens , where all those rounds of single crochet become a cuddly character your loved ones will treasure. Whether you followed this free crochet Labubu pattern exactly or added your own twist, you’re about to meet your very own Labubu in pink!

Grab your tapestry needle and let’s assemble step by step.

Start by pinning the head and body together. If you’re worried about lopsided pieces, revisit these top amigurumi mistakes to avoid to troubleshoot. Align the base of the head with the center of the body and stitch securely using the tail you left earlier. This is a critical step in our free crochet Labubu patterns because proper positioning ensures Labubu doesn’t end up with a wobbly neck (ask me how I know!).

Next, attach the legs. The best position is slightly angled toward the front, near the bottom edge of the body. Use small hidden stitches and check that both feet point forward. This tip is a must-follow in all quality free crochet Labubu patterns if you want a balanced and adorable pose.

Now for the arms. Place them just under the hood, angled gently downward along the sides. This gives your plushie a natural, relaxed look, like it’s about to reach out for a hug. Again, use tight invisible stitches. One of my favorite tricks I’ve picked up while testing different free crochet Labubu patterns is stuffing just a little fiberfill in the arms before sewing, it helps them sit just right.

The ears go last, but they make all the difference. Position them evenly at the top of the head and sew carefully so they mirror each other. You’ll know you’ve nailed it when Labubu’s mischievous expression comes through, especially with the layered pink and beige ears standing tall.

🧵 Add the Final Face Details
Don’t forget the face! If you haven’t already, now’s the perfect time to stitch on Labubu’s nose, mouth, and eyes. Whether you’re using safety eyes or embroidery, this part of the free crochet Labubu pattern brings the whole character to life. Add those iconic brows for a cheeky expression, it’s Labubu’s signature look and one of the cutest moments in the whole project.

🎀 Bonus Ideas to Customize Your Labubu
Want to personalize your Labubu even more? This free crochet Labubu pattern leaves plenty of room for creativity. Try adding a tiny scarf, a mini satchel, or a felt flower crown. I’ve even turned mine into a backpack charm with a little loop at the top. Your imagination’s the limit , and that’s half the fun!

🧶 This final step is always the most satisfying moment for me. It’s when Labubu goes from “a pile of soft pieces” to “a handmade toy full of love.” And thanks to these free crochet Labubu patterns, you’ve done it from scratch.
