SEMLA | Free amigurumi crochet pattern

In this blog post you'll find a free crochet pattern for the classic bun called semla or fastlagsbulle. It's a bun filled with wipped cream and almond paste or jam. Traditionally you eat them in February before the fasting begins. Have you tried it? They are delicious!

MATERIAL

- Yarn: I used M&K Eco Baby Bomull cotton yarn (50g=160m) in the colours beige and white.
- Crochet hook size D/3 (3 mm) or a hook that matches the yarn you will use.
- Needle
- Scissors
- Cotton or polyester stuffing
 

ABBREVIATIONS (US terms)

r = row, st = stitch, ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, hdcg = half double crochet group, inc = increase, dec = decrease
 

THE TOP OF THE BUN

- The top of the bun is crocheted in a spiral with beige yarn.
r 1: 2 ch, 6 sc in the second chain from the hook. (6) = magic circle
r 2: [inc]x6. (12)
r 3: [1 sc, inc]x6. (18)
r 4: [2 sc, inc]x6. (24)
r 5: [3 sc, inc]x6. (30)
r 6: [4 sc, inc]x6. (36)
r 7: [5 sc, inc]x6. (42)
r 8: [6 sc, inc]x6. (48)
r 9: 48 sc. (48)
r 10 (crochet this round in the front loops): 48 sc. (48)
- Cut off the yarn, but save approximately 12 in (30 cm) so that you have something to attach the top of the bun and the bottom of the bun with.
- Weave in the other yarn end.
- Embroider some sugar on top of the bun.

- Cut off the yarn and weave in the yarn ends.
 

ASSEMBLING

- Sew the top and the bottom of the bun together. You'll get the nicest finnish if you sew the two parts together in the backloops.
- Stuff the bun with stuffing before you close the gap.
- Weave in the remaining yarn ends.
