This pattern is one I adjusted from amigurumi.today. You can purchase the pattern for download by following this link.
To make this cute teacup, which I made to honor the beauty drama community, I used a 3.5 mm crochet hook and size 4 yarn from Bernat. I used their Baby Yarn in baby blue, antique white, and white. For the eyes, I used the 12 mm plastic eyes for the teacup and the 8 mm plastic eyes for the tea bag. I got them from Amazon in a kit of 150 pcs.
I changed up the handle since I did not like how it looked in the round, so I will be including that modification in this post. You can always visit the original post for the rounded handle option for your teacup.
