Just three days ago, on April 25th, was the 2nd annual International Amigurumi day. Amigurumi toys are one of my favorite things to crochet. They give you the freedom to create characters from your imagination and make it something tangible. From the cutest little animals to the tastiest treats, crocheting amigurumi lets you create your most beloved items. Today, I will be sharing my amigurumi crochet pattern of the siopao or more widely known as the steamed bun. This is one of the meals I miss from home because you can’t easily get it where I am living right now. On top of that, I just learned my parents and my younger brother just cooked a homemade version of this meal last night.

Take a look!
