Crochet Ferrero Rocher Amigurumi

Some projects look simple from the outside, but once you’re under the wrapper, you realize what you’ve signed up for. I recently finished this Ferrero Rocher amigurumi, and while I didn't design the pattern, I certainly feel like I earned a trophy for finishing it!

Supplies & Tools

Yarn	#3 Lace Yarn - 2g
Hook	2.0mm
Other Materials	Fibrefill: 1g 12-ply Gold Thread: 8.3m 6-ply Gold Thread: 0.9m
Size	Ø3.6 × 2.8 cm

Pattern

Original	Ferrero Rocher Crochet Knit by Teje con ilusión
Adjustments	Didn't like the wrapper curling in, so I had the Wrong Side (WS) out instead. Used a lighter-weight gold thread for the embroidery around the wrapper, and added an extra round to match the real thing.

The Real Difficulty Scale

If you’re looking at this and thinking, "Oh, it’s just a little ball," let me give you the actual breakdown of the effort involved:

• The Pattern itself: 0% Difficulty - straightforward and clearly written.

• Working with dark brown yarn: 50% Difficulty - finding stitches in dark yarn really challenges my vision.

• Working with gold thread: 300% Difficulty - crocheting with metallic thread is like trying to crochet with a very stubborn wire. It splits, cuts into your flesh, and has a mind of its own. It’s definitely a "labour of love" situation!

The Result

Even though it was a battle of wills against the metallic thread, I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It’s:

• Cute: Obviously.

• Functional: The toughness of the gold thread holds pins well.

• Zero-sugar: The only Ferrero Rocher that’s actually good for my dental health!

I decided to turn this iconic chocolate into a pin cushion. It’s the perfect size, stay-put shape, and let’s be honest, it just looks adorable on a sewing desk.

Tip:

• Base: Use more than enough glue to weigh down the base. Press down slowly while the glue cools to keep the base flat and avoid glue overflow.
• Sticker: Use top coat gel polish to seal the sticker, which prevents wrinkles and keeps the logo crisp. Resin would do the same but I’ve had it turn yellow quickly before, so hopefully this holds up better.

It’s a small but surprisingly demanding project - one that looks simple, but rewards patience and careful work. Now, every time I reach for a pin, that gold shimmer makes me smile.
