These potatoes are part of my range of fruit and vegetables. I have designed them to be realistically irregular – no symmetrical vegetables here!

I have included two patterns, for added variation if you are making several.

These make great toys for a play kitchen or veg garden - buy any three of my vegetable patterns for a 10% discount!

For one potato approximately 9cm or 3½” long you will need double-knitting (DK, light worsted weight, Category 3) yarn in approximately the following quantities:

• Main colour: 25m (27 yds)
• Accent colour: 1-2m (2 yds)

You will also need:

• a 3.5mm (E-4) crochet hook
• a stuffing material (details are provided in the pattern)
• a blunt yarn needle
• sharp scissors

And of course you can easily work larger or smaller vegetables by using heavier or lighter yarn and varying your hook accordingly!

This pattern is available in both UK and US crochet terminology. Both files will be available for you on purchase and you can choose whichever you prefer to use.

Important features of my crochet patterns:
My crochet patterns include BOTH a detailed ‘tutorial-style’ set of instructions with colour photos, AND a succinct unillustrated pattern using standard crochet conventions.
I have developed this style because I find I like to see a lot of detail the first time I work a pattern, but if I then work the same piece again, I don’t need the pictures, etc, and indeed they can get in the way when I just want a quick reminder of what I’m doing. The PDF is also structured so that the succinct version, with an area for your own notes, is on a single page, making it easy to just take one sheet of paper with you if you have printed it out for quick reference on the move.

This pattern comes with my full support! If you have any difficulties, please contact me! Rest assured I am a real person and I’d love to hear from you. And of course please share pictures of your finished vegetables! :-)

Please see my other patterns for more fruit and vegetables. discounts are available if you purchase three vegetable patterns.
