Free crochet cucumber pattern: a Spa Day Cucumber with Slices amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A slim green cucumber with pale stripes wears a white towel turban with a pink band, and shows off two cucumber slice badges on its tummy with a peaceful, eyes-closed smile. You need about 45 m of yarn: 20 m green, 10 m white, 5 m light green, 5 m pink and 5 m pale green. Plan on roughly 2 hours. A simple make with one main body and a few flat appliques, so it works for beginners. A fun gift for a spa-day friend or a calm shelf mascot. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
