Top x2:

• Ch 12 +1 turning chain, sc x12, ch x2 4th hook from chain make 4x dc in that one stitch, skip a sc space and sc in the next sc space. Skip a sc, yarn over twice and make 5x triple crochets in the next st, then skip the next sc and sc a stitch. Then skip the next stitch, yarn over once and make 5x double crochet stitches in the next sc, skip the next sc, and make a sc in the last stitch in the row. Fasten off.

Sewing:

• We are actually going to crochet the edges together for the carrot and carrot top separately, then sew the 2 pieces together with the tapestry needle. If you want you can also just sew everything, but I feel crocheting the edge gives a cleaner finish.
• For the carrot top, line up the 2 green pieces and crochet the top edge together. Then crochet the bottom edge.
• For the crochet carrot, crochet all 3 sides of the carrot together. Rule of thumb is 1 sc per row you made. If you need more or less, adjust the number of your stitches.
• Remember to stuff the carrot slightly. Then sew the carrot top and carrot together with the tapestry needle.
• Additionally, you can embroider horizontal lines onto the carrot to add more ridges to make it look more like a carrot.
