Free crochet onion pattern: a Little Onion amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A round golden onion with a pointed tip, two green sprout leaves, pink cheeks and a worried little face with a blue tear under each eye. A beginner can make it: the onion is one piece in the round with sc, inc and dec, and the two sprouts are tiny flat tubes. You need about 30 m of yarn: 20 m gold, 5 m green and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 1 hour. Sweet gift for a cook, a cheeky tear-jerker for the kitchen shelf, or a small plush for a vegetable collection. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
