Crochet Carrot Amigurumi Pattern

Amigurumi are known for their intricate details and small size, offering the perfect challenge for both beginners and experienced crafters. Working on this project provides a relaxing and rewarding experience, while the finished product brings warmth and personality to any setting. To ensure your smiley carrot looks its best, use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds and maintain an even tension throughout your work.

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.
