Carrot Brooch Crochet Pattern
Crochet a fun carrot brooch. I originally designed this pattern for Easter but let’s face it carrots are good at any time of the year. I’ve seen some great photos that you’ve shared with me on Instagram – keychains, appliques and even some really cute bunting!
To use as an applique simply make one of the carrot body and then follow the instructions as written.
