Crochet Xiao Long Bao (pork dumplings) – Beginner Friendly Pattern and tutorial
Ingredients
- Crown 4-ply acrylic yarn in white/cream;
- Pink and Brown embroidery thread and large tapestry needles;
- Polyester filling;
(Optional) - 5mm eyes;
- Brooch pin;
- Blusher and
- Scissors and glue.
Tip: You can use any type of yarn so long as it’s not too soft so the bao will hold its shape. I used an acrylic 4-ply yarn because I had some lying around. The only difference may be the size. I would avoid very thick (chunky) yarn if you don’t want the bao to be too big.
