Cute Tiny Crocheted Carrots

 A few weeks ago I saw a crocheted carrot. I thought it was darling and decided to try one.  It was made from a granny square...one of the simplest of crochet projects...just a magic ring, chain stitches, single crochet stitches, double crochet stitches, and slip stitches.  Could not be easier once you know how to do all those basic stitches.  A bit of a learning curve when you start but I think we can learn about anything we really want to, though it may take a great deal of effort sometimes.

Here is a picture of a single carrot with two little treats inside and a bunch more filled carrots in my first ever zippered clear vinyl pouch!  Pretty happy with the pouch even though it is far from perfect.  There are more in the future!  Happy enough with the carrots.

The first carrot I made was about five inches square.  It was too big and open to put treats inside so I went down a couple hook sizes --to a 3.5 mm crochet hook--and made these 3" squares.  They worked like a charm.
