It makes sense, doesn’t it? If you don’t see the connection, I hope that will become clear in the next few lines.

I bet you’ve seen that kind of nursery, wall-hanging décor with a crochet cloud and raindrops hanging on the bottom. I think those look super cute! So, even though I much prefer the sun, I thought it would be nice to crochet something similar for my niece (yes, it’s a girl!).

The cloud is from the Rainbow pattern by Samanta Fornino of @followthecrochet

A while ago, Samanta from Follow the Crochet was giving away her rainbow pattern on her Instagram account. So, I made a cute, little cloud.

My cloud is much smaller than Samanta’s because I used DK yarn and a 4-mm crochet hook.

Anyhow, I thought I could try and add some raindrops to that cloud. So I could get a general idea of what I should change for the final project. Should I make a bigger cloud maybe?

Well, the answer is definitely yes! I surely need to make everything bigger (maybe using some thicker yarn?).

In the meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy these patterns I wrote for making Amigurumi raindrops in three different sizes.

How to Read the Pattern

  • (…) – Repeat the instructions within brackets for the indicated number of times.
  • If the pattern says “5 sc”, it means that you have to make one single crochet in each of the next 5 stitches.

Pattern Notes

These crochet Amigurumi Raindrops are worked in the round. This means that you do NOT join each round with a sl st. Instead, you directly start crocheting the next set of stitches.

However, if you do not feel comfortable working in the round, just join your rounds with a sl st. The worst that can happen is that you’ll have a more visible join, definitely not the end of the world!
