Free crochet pickle pattern: a Pickle in a Jar amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A bumpy green pickle with a worried face and two tiny arms peeks over the rim of a pale blue glass jar, with the gold lid leaning against the side. You need about 75 m of yarn: 30 m green, 20 m pale teal, 10 m olive, 5 m gold, 5 m light blue and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. Good for a kitchen shelf, a desk or a gift for someone who is serious about pickles. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
