I was asked last minute to make a gigantic carrot for a quick add to a costume.
This was so fun to make, and quick too!
I wrote it down as I was making it (yay! I usually forget to do this lol)
Wanted to share it right away since we're only a few days away from Halloween!
So here's an oversized carrot for your little bunny.
Materials:
Hook size: M/9.00mm
Yarn suggestion: Zoomba - Loops & Threads in Peachy (Super Bulky)
Yarn Needle
Note: I used 2 skeins. One entire skein will make the carrot, the other I used for stuffing (that way if you see any of the stuffing inside, its the same colour). Also, use any green yarn you have on hand for the leaves.
