This chubby onion would make a fantastic kitchen decoration if you hang it in a punch or as if plaited together, it also makes a great toy for a play kitchen or vegetable garden.
This cute onion was made by making the head, hands, and legs parts in one piece, then make leaves and hair, and it also includes how to attach leaves and hair to the body.
This is a quick pattern to work, using only basic stitches like single crochet, slip stitch, bobble stitch, and very few finishing techniques, you will be able to finish it in no time.
you can customize this pattern with different colors such as white, yellow, or red, to resemble different types of onions
This pattern was made in a spiral, so you need to use a stitch marker or a piece of constructed yarn to mark the first stitch of each round.
