Carrot!

mmm, carrot

Supplies

• Chunky orange yarn - I used leftovers of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick
• Worsted weight green - I used Brown Sheep's
• Size K hook
• Size G hook

Instructions

• Row 1: Use the K hook. Using a magic circle, 4sc and join
• Rows 2-3: ch2, 3sc, join
• Row 4: ch2 inc sc4, join
• Row 5: ch2 inc sc5, join
• Row 6: ch2 inc sc6, join
• Row 7: ch2 inc sc7, join
• Row 8: ch2 inc sc8, join
• Row 9: ch2 sc9, join
• Stuff the carrot.
• Row 10: sc2tog
• Join and pull yarn through. If you still have a little hole, sew it closed with the tail and trim the end.
• Switch to the G hook for the leaves. Double up the yarn and join at the top of the carrot.
• ch for the length you desire. Cut end and pull through. You can knot the ends, if you need.
• Repeat for the number of leaves you want. I did 5. They curl on their own.
• To clean up the bottom of the stems, wrap green yarn around the bottom, and weave in the end. This helps hold up the leaves too

That's it! I also think it'd be great to put a face on the carrot. Something saying "Eat me! I help you see in the dark."

tasty.
