A few weeks back the family and I took a trip to Hershey, PA so I thought it would be fun to make some little crochet kisses to commemorate our trip. Aren’t they sweet? Work up this crochet kiss pattern to make up some sweets of your own …
Crochet Kiss Pattern
Here’s what you need:
- worsted weight yarn
- G hook
- fiberfill stuffing or yarn scraps
- tapestry needle, scissors
- a small strip of paper or ribbon
Helpful Crochet Resources: Refer to my Crochet Abbreviations and U.S. to U.K. Crochet Conversion Chart as you work through the pattern.
Finished kiss measures approximately 2½ in. tall.

Fasten off leaving a tail of about 6 inches.
Using a tapestry needle, weave tail through stitches to close. I prefer Planet June’s method for finishing off amigurumi items. You can see her tutorial here.
Top your kiss off with a little label. You can create your own with a marker and paper or ribbon or you can print out mine here.
Molto dolce!
Is the “kisses” ribbon you have in the pictured, just pieces of paper? It is hard to tell. I want to use your printable but I don’t know how to print on ribbon. Is there another tip you can share?
Thank you!

Hi Melanie 🙂 Nope, the kisses part is actually just paper from my printer. Hope that helps!
My cousin works at Hershey and she will be getting this for her birthday. I love it and she will too. Thanks so much.
Oh how fun! Hope she likes it 🙂

You are truly talented!
Thank you so much! That is very sweet of you to say 🙂
Can you scale this version into a larger, huggable pillow version? I think this paired with some circular “hard candy” pillows would be so sweet! (bad pun intended) =)
That sounds like a fun idea! I am sure it could be done. It would take some fiddling to figure it out though 🙂
You’re so stinkin’ clever! How fun!
Could this be converted into a baby hat? These are just darling and I had a friend make that comment. So stinking cute!!
