Lumine’s Little Companion (Paimon-Inspired) Crochet Plush

Beginner Simple-Shapes Amigurumi
A soft, huggable ~4" floating fairy companion plush inspired by Lumine’s traveling partner from Genshin Impact. Made entirely from basic spheres, a tiny cone crown and short tubes—perfect first character toy.

Materials

• Worsted weight (4) yarn:
  • Main color (MC): White or cream – approx. 40 yd
  • Accent (AC): Soft gold or light yellow – approx. 15 yd
  • Tiny bit of black and pink or light blue for embroidery (or scrap yarn)
• Crochet hook: US E-4 (3.5 mm) or US F-5 (3.75 mm) — go down 1–2 sizes from yarn label for tight fabric
• Polyester fiberfill stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Optional: 6 mm safety eyes (or embroider eyes)
• Scissors
• Pins for assembly

Gauge

4 sc = 1" (2.5 cm) in continuous rounds with chosen hook.
Exact gauge is not critical; tighter stitches give a neater toy that holds stuffing better. Finished plush measures approximately 3.5–4.5" (9–11.5 cm) tall including crown.

Pattern Pieces

Body (make 1 – MC white/cream)

This is the classic beginner sphere.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. [6]
Rnd 2: inc in each st around. [12] (6 increases → 6 + 6 = 12 ✓)
Rnd 3: (sc, inc) around. [18] (6 increases → 12 + 6 = 18 ✓)
Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) around. [24] (6 increases → 18 + 6 = 24 ✓)
Rnds 5–9: sc in each st around. [24] (5 even rounds for height)
Rnd 10: (2 sc, dec) around. [18] (6 decreases → 24 – 6 = 18 ✓)
Stuff firmly now and continue stuffing as you close.
Rnd 11: (sc, dec) around. [12] (6 decreases → 18 – 6 = 12 ✓)
Rnd 12: dec around. [6] (6 decreases → 12 – 6 = 6 ✓)
FO, leaving a 8" tail. Thread tail through remaining 6 front loops, pull tight to close hole, weave in end.
Body is a firm ball approx. 2.5–3" diameter.

Head (make 1 – MC white/cream)

Slightly smaller sphere so it sits cutely on the body (or you may crochet head and body as one continuous piece if preferred—see note at end).

Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. [6]
Rnd 2: inc in each st. [12]
Rnd 3: (sc, inc) around. [18]
Rnds 4–7: sc around. [18]
Insert safety eyes between Rnds 5–6, about 4 sts apart, or plan embroidery placement.
Rnd 8: (sc, dec) around. [12]
Stuff firmly.
Rnd 9: dec around. [6]
FO, close hole same as body, leave long tail for sewing.

Crown / Tiny Hat (make 1 – AC gold)

Simple cone.

Rnd 1: 4 sc in MR. [4]
Rnd 2: (sc, inc) around. [6] (2 increases → 4 + 2 = 6 ✓)
Rnd 3: sc around. [6]
Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) around. [8] (2 increases → 6 + 2 = 8 ✓)
Rnd 5: sc around. [8]
FO, leave 10" tail for sewing. Lightly stuff tip only or leave unstuffed for a flatter crown look. Optional: surface slip-stitch a small “point” or embroider a tiny star on front.

Little Arms (make 2 – MC)

Short cylinders.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. [6]
Rnds 2–4: sc around. [6]
FO, leave tail for sewing. Stuff very lightly or not at all so they stay soft and poseable.

Optional Tiny Capelet Accents (make 2 – AC gold)

Simple flat semi-circles for “floating scarf/cape” look.

Ch 5.
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across. [4]
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc across. [4]
FO, leave tails. These are just small rectangles/curves you will tack at the neck.

Assembly

1. Pin head centered on top of body. Sew securely all around with MC yarn tail, adding a tiny bit more stuffing in the neck join if needed for a smooth transition.
2. Sew crown on top of head, slightly tilted forward or centered—pull stitches snug so it sits like a little hat.
3. Attach arms to sides of body at about Rnd 6–7 height, angled slightly forward.
4. Tack the two small capelet pieces at the back of the neck/shoulders so they drape like a tiny floating cape. You can leave ends free or lightly catch them with a stitch.
5. Weave in all ends.

Face & Details (Embroider)

• Eyes: If not using safety eyes, embroider two small oval or dot eyes with black yarn between head Rnds 5–6.
• Smile: Tiny curved stitch or simple “v” in black or dark brown under the eyes.
• Blush: Two small pink or light-peach straight stitches or French knots on cheeks.
• Optional hair tuft: With MC or a lighter white, make 3–4 short loops or a tiny chain fringe at the top front of the head just under the crown and secure.
• Optional gold trim: Surface slip-stitch a thin line around the base of the crown or add a couple of French-knot “jewels.”

Finishing

Steam very lightly or just shape with fingers—do not flatten the sphere. Check that all pieces are firmly attached. Your little companion is ready to float beside Lumine (or sit on a shelf)!

Size Notes & Variations

• Keychain size: Stop body increases at 18 sts, reduce even rounds to 3–4, use DK yarn and 2.75–3.25 mm hook → ~2.5" toy. Add a jump ring to the crown tip.
• Larger cuddly version: Add one more increase round on body ((3 sc, inc) = 30 sts), add 2 extra even rounds, stuff extra-firm.
• Color swap: Keep classic white + gold, or try soft blue and silver for a different Seelie-inspired look.

Beginner Tips

• Magic ring too tricky? Ch 2 and work all Rnd 1 stitches into the first chain, then pull tight.
• Always stuff a little before the last 2 decrease rounds—once closed it is hard to add more.
• Invisible dec (insert hook front-loop only of next 2 sts, yarn over, pull through both, yarn over, pull through 2) keeps the surface smooth.
• Count every round; the stitch marker is your best friend.
• Pin first, sew second—placement makes the character expression.

Enjoy your handmade Genshin-inspired companion plush! Happy crocheting.
