Amigurumi mini carrot | Free pattern lilleliis

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.
