DON'T Eat Your Veggies Amigurumi Pattern
Introducing the whimsical and fun knitting pattern for Magnum Pea Eye, Beta Carrotine, and Squash! These playful, vitamin-enriched food characters believe it's a bit redundant to eat actual vegetables, so why not play with your food instead? This delightful knitting project is perfect for those looking to add some unique and colorful handmade vegetables to their collection.
Both Beta Carrotine and Squash are expertly knit in the round using double-pointed needles or a circular needle with the Magic Loop Method. The charming eyeballs can be crafted by picking up stitches or made separately and sewn on, adding an extra layer of creativity to your knitting. On the other hand, Magnum Pea Eye features a creative combination of flat knitting and knitting in the round for the pod, while the peas and eyeballs are made independently. This intermediate to advanced knitting pattern provides ample instructional photos and helpful links to guide you throughout the process. Plus, cheezombie is always available to offer assistance via email, ensuring you have all the support you need as you create these whimsical veggies!
The samples for this pattern were knit using various worsted weight (8 or 10 ply) wool yarns on US size 3 (3.25 mm) needles, resulting in finished pieces that are approximately 6 inches tall or long. Keep in mind that the final size of your creations may vary based on your choice of yarn and needles. This project not only sparks joy and creativity but also allows you to explore the art of knitting with vibrant colors and textures.
Additionally, the pattern comes with exciting modifications for making an eggplant and a tomato, making it feel like you're getting two extra vegetable patterns for free! It's a fantastic way to expand your knitting repertoire while crafting adorable, stuffed vegetable friends. Dive into this fun knitting adventure and let your imagination run wild with Magnum Pea Eye, Beta Carrotine, and Squash!
