🥛 Milkshake Cup (Worked Bottom-Up)
With cream yarn:
-
MR 6 (6)
-
inc x6 (12)
-
(1 sc, inc) x6 (18)
-
(2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
-
(3 sc, inc) x6 (30)
-
(4 sc, inc) x6 (36)
7–34. sc around (36)
This creates the tall, straight-sided cup seen in the photo.
Cup Rim
-
BLO sc around (36)
Fasten off after Round 35.
Stuff the cup firmly, keeping the sides straight and the base flat.
🍫 Chocolate Syrup Drips (Surface Crochet)
Using chocolate brown yarn and a yarn needle or hook:
-
Attach yarn just below the rim
-
Work vertical surface slip stitches downward
-
Vary drip lengths naturally:
-
Some short (6–8 stitches)
-
Some long (12–18 stitches)
-
-
End each drip cleanly without curling or looping
Space drips evenly around the cup, leaving clear cream-colored gaps between them.
Do not create waves or spirals—the syrup flows straight downward.
Fasten off and weave in ends on the inside.
🍦 Whipped Cream Top (Stacked Spiral Shape)
Worked in continuous rounds.
With cream yarn:
-
MR 6 (6)
-
inc x6 (12)
-
(1 sc, inc) x6 (18)
-
(2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
-
(3 sc, inc) x6 (30)
6–9. sc around (30)
Spiral Build
Continue crocheting in a tight upward spiral, stacking rounds slightly inward:
10–12. sc around (30)
13–15. sc around (28)
16–18. sc around (24)
19–21. sc around (18)
22–23. sc around (12)
Lightly stuff only the base so the top remains soft and rounded.
Fasten off and shape gently into a whipped peak.
🧋 Straw (Recommended: Real Paper Straw)
For best realism, use a paper or craft straw with diagonal stripes.
-
Insert straw at a slight angle into the whipped cream
-
Secure with a few hidden stitches or a small drop of fabric glue (display use only)
🧵 Assembly
-
Sew whipped cream securely to the top of the cup, aligning edges evenly
-
Insert straw through whipped cream at a relaxed angle
-
Adjust syrup drips and whipped swirl for balance
-
Tuck all yarn ends neatly inside
🎀 Finishing Touches
-
Shape the cup gently so it stands upright
-
Keep the whipped cream slightly asymmetrical for a natural look
-
Avoid overstuffing the top—soft texture is key
This amigurumi milkshake is a warm, inviting piece that looks right at home in café-themed décor, play kitchens, or cozy handmade collections. With its clean vertical syrup drips and classic whipped swirl, it’s a timeless crochet treat that never melts. ☕🍦
