Fasten off, leaving a long tail, and finish stuffing. Cut 6-7 strands of green yarn (add twine for a rustic look), approx. 6 inches long. Holding the strands together, tie a knot in the center. Place the knot inside the carrot top, with the strands sticking out.

Using your yarn needle and tail end, weave through the front loop of each remaining st, pull closed, and weave in the end.

For a softer, fluffier carrot top, untwist and separate the strands.

Finishing

Weave in any stray ends, then give your carrots a quick fluff and shape so they’re ready to brighten your garland, Easter basket, or spring décor.

These mini crochet carrots are a cheerful addition to any spring crochet project. Their simple construction and playful shape make them both fun to crochet and easy to incorporate into seasonal décor. Pair them with the bunny motifs to complete the Carrots & Cottontails Crochet Garland, or use them on their own to add a little handmade charm to your home this spring.
