Amigurumi mini carrot
Free pattern © Mari-Liis Lille
Amigurumi mini carrot is such a fun little thing to make. Discover my free pattern here. Attach the carrot between the paws of an amigurumi bunny, or turn it into a brooch or a baby toy.
The small carrot is made in one piece using only a small amount of yarn and fiberfill stuffing.
The thinner yarn you use, the smaller carrot you get.

- brooch pin – optional!
Finished size: 6-7 cm (2.35-2.75 in)
Skill level: easy
Stitches and abbreviations (US crochet terms):
Slip stitch (sl st), chain (ch), single crochet (sc), repeat (rep), stitch(es) – st(s)
