Free crochet squishy pattern: a Squishy Tomato amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a round red tomato with a green star calyx and stem, tiny green feet, worried eyebrows, a wobbly mouth and a blue sweat drop. You need about 55 m of yarn: 30 m red, 10 m green, 5 m dark coral, 5 m dark green and 5 m light blue. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Give it to a gardener, a cook or anyone who gets nervous before a deadline; it also works as a quirky kitchen shelf decoration. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern as you crochet.
