Hi everyone!

Crocheting fruits and veggies are my favorite. When I started making amigurumi, I made a carrot but didn’t write the pattern down. I thought it was finally time to revisit it!

Just in time for Easter (or bookmark this pattern for next year), crochet a simple carrot amigurumi to give as a gift or pair with an adorable rabbit plushie! 100% beginner friendly, this pattern is perfect for learning basic shaping.

Clicking on certain links may result in a small commission for me at no extra cost to you. Money generated from this allows me to continue to design and post cute amigurumi patterns for you all!
