This crochet carrot amigurumi is a fun, little crafted toy is much softer and cuter. It's made using the lightest orange yarn for the whole body, which makes it very pretty and eye-catching.
On top of the carrot, there are green colored leaves or a stem, which add to its charm and make it look amazing.
This carrot is created through crochet, a method where you loop yarn with a special hook to make these lovely designs.
The contrast between the light orange body and the green top truly brings this little vegetable to life, creating a wow effect that makes it a delightful decoration or toy.
Crochet Carrot Amigurumi Pattern
Materials Needed:
-
- Orange and green yarn (the video used Premier Parfait Chunky, a size 6 super bulky yarn)
- 5 mm crochet hook
- Fiberfill stuffing (like polyfill)
- Safety eyes (size is linked in the video description)
- Medium black yarn for the smile
- Scissors (not mentioned in the text but assumed necessary)
- Fabric glue (optional, for securing the smile)
- You won't need a sewing needle for this project
Carrot Body:
-
- Start with orange yarn and create a slip knot. Place it on the hook and tighten.
- Chain 2. Perform 6 single crochets (sc) in the second chain from the hook. Tighten.
- Continue by performing one single crochet in each stitch around for a total of six single crochets.
- Flip your work so the correct side is showing (side without the tail). Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.
- Round 2: Do [1 sc, 1 increase] three times. An increase is 2 sc in the same stitch.
- Round 3: Do [2 sc, 1 increase] three times.
- Round 4: Do [3 sc, 1 increase] three times.
- Round 5: Single crochet in each stitch around.
- Round 6: Do [4 sc, 1 increase] three times.
- Round 7: Single crochet in each stitch around.
- Continue increasing rounds, adding one single crochet before the increase in each subsequent round until you have [8 sc, 1 increase] around.
- Work two rounds of single crochets with no increases.
Adding Facial Features:
-
- Stop the initial increases and add safety eyes between rounds 14 and 15, with about three visible stitches between each eye.
- For the mouth, thread the medium black yarn using a crochet hook to weave it through the carrot front between the eyes. Create a smile, and secure the ends by tying them inside the carrot and apply a bit of fabric glue if desired to hold the shape of the smile.
Decreasing Rounds:
-
- Start decreasing by doing [8 sc, 1 decrease] three times. Use invisible decrease by inserting your hook into the front loop only of the next two stitches before pulling through all loops.
- Continue with rounds of decreasing, in each round, reduce the number of single crochets before the decrease by one (so the next round will be [7 sc, 1 decrease] three times, then [6 sc, 1 decrease] three times, etc.), until you reach [1 sc, 1 decrease] six times.
Stuffing The Carrot:
-
- Before closing up completely, stuff the carrot firmly with fiberfill stuffing, but be careful not to overstuff so that the stitches don't gap.
Closing Up:
-
- Perform enough decreases to close the opening. Thread the yarn through all the remaining stitches and pull tight to close, then knot to secure.
Stem:
-
- With green yarn, attach yarn to the top of the carrot by pulling a loop through the center and tying a knot.
- Chain 16, fold the chain in half and join with a slip stitch to form a loop. This creates one loop of the stem.
- Repeat this process to make a total of four loops for the stem, adjust the number of loops for fullness if desired.
- To end, slip stitch back into the carrot, cut the yarn, leaving a tail, and tight. Weave the tail back into the stitches to hide it.
Finishing Touches:
-
- Tidy up any remaining tails by weaving ends and cutting any excess yarn. Your amigurumi carrot is now ready.
