Free crochet carrot pattern: a Carrot Bag Charm with Ladybug amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. The toy is a little carrot with big surprised eyes, a leafy green top and a clasp loop, with a spotted ladybug perched on its shoulder. You need about 40 m of yarn: 15 m orange, 10 m green, 5 m red, 5 m pink and 5 m black. Plan on roughly 1 hours. It makes a quick, beginner-friendly gift for a gardener or an Easter basket filler, and it hangs from a bag or zipper by its loop. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern to place the ladybug.
