Free crochet potato pattern: an Emotional Support Potato amigurumi, about 10 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A brown potato with a gentle smile, round black eyes, pink cheeks and a few green sprouts stands on tiny legs and holds a red heart in its little arms. You need about 50 m of yarn: 35 m light brown, 5 m lime, 5 m coral and 5 m rose. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Give it to a friend who needs a hug, or keep it on your desk for a bad day. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
