GAUGE AND SIZE


Gauge with the above material (2.5mm hook): 5-round circle = 4cm (1.6″). Find out how to measure gauge
for amigurumis in my tutorial here.

With the material mentioned above and when gauge is achieved:

The carrot car is 19cm long (7.5″)

PATTERN NOTES AND SPECIAL TECHNIQUES


The number before the abbreviation represents how many times to work one type of stitch into
consecutive stitches from the previous round (unless stated otherwise). Ex: 3inc = work one increase
into each of the next 3 stitches.

1/9
This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds (i.e. without closing the rounds with a slip stitch)
unless stated otherwise. It may help to mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker.
For amigurumi in general, I always use an invisible decrease (unless stated otherwise) to minimize the
gaps between these stitches so that the fiberfill doesn’t show too much. You can check this simple
technique in a video tutorial here, but if it’s too much hassle and you prefer to start right away you can
also work with normal decrease, no big deal!

Fasten off, finish stuffing (not too much), and sew closed.

Now let’s prepare a part that will be used later for the back of the car. Let’s call it Part 3.

With orange.

Rnd 1: work 6sc into a magic ring. [6]

Rnd 2: inc in each st around. [12]

Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. [18]

Rnd 4: (2sc, inc) x 6. [24]

Rnd 6: (4sc, inc) x 6. [36]

Rnd 7: (2sc, inc, 3sc) x 6. [42]

Fasten off, weave in tails.

Now let’s crochet the middle of the carrot car. This is Part 2.

This part is crocheted in rows first, then in rounds.


With orange, make a slip knot.

The turning chain doesn’t count as a stitch.

Row 1: Using the stitch marker left at round 8, count 16 stitches and join yarn in the 16th front loop,
crocheting in “backward” direction (towards the start of the round). Work 32sc. [32]

This way you should have 16 sc on each side of your stitch marker.

4/9
Row 2 – 12: chain 1, turn, 32sc. [32]

Row 13: 32sc, chain 16. [48] (the chains count as stitches)

The last part of the carrot car is crocheted in rounds again.

Rnd 14: starting in the first st from row 13, 48sc. [48]

Rnd 15: (dec, 6sc) x 6. [42]

Now take Part 3. It has 42 stitches just like your last round. We are going to attach Part 3 to the car to build
up the trunk, by single crocheting both parts together. The right side of Part 3 should be inside the driver’s
cabin (and the wrong side hidden inside the trunk).

Rnd 16: insert your hook under your next stitch and under a stitch of Part 3, and work 42sc around this way.
[42]

Rnd 17: (dec, 5sc) x 6. [36]

Rnd 18: (dec, 4sc) x 6. [30]

Rnd 19: (dec, 3sc) x 6. [24]

Fasten off, make an invisible finish, and weave in yarn tail.

5/9
Now let’s crochet the trunk lid. This is Part 4.

With orange.

Rnd 1: leave a long starting tail (15cm / 6″) and work 6sc into a magic ring. [6]

Rnd 2: inc in each st around. [12]

Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. [18]

Rnd 4: (2sc, inc) x 6. [24]

Don’t fasten off.

Now we are going to attach Part 4 to the top of the last round by single crocheting both parts together.

Insert your hook in the next stitch of part 4 and in the last stitch of round 19. Work 11sc this way, towards the
top of the car.

6/9
Fasten off, make a knot to secure the yarn tail and weave it in.

Insert the starting tail of Part 4 through a tapestry needle, weave in the tail straight to the bottom of the trunk
lid, create a loop, and secure it with a knot. Then weave in the tail inside the lid.

Now let’s make a knob. Take a strand of orange yarn. With a tapestry needle, insert it at the bottom of the
trunk, from inside to outside, at the center of the trunk, between rounds 17 and 18. Wrap the yarn 6 times
around your needle and go back in the same hole. Tighten it up and make a knot with each yarn tail to
secure it.

THE TIRES

With light grey.

Rnd 1: work 6sc into a magic ring. [6]

Rnd 2: inc in each st around. [12]

Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 6. [18]

Change color with black (finish the last st with black).

Rnd 4: (2sc, inc) x 6. [24]

Rnd 5: in BLO, sc around. [24]

Rnd 6: sc around. [24]

Rnd 7: in BLO, (dec, 2sc) x 6. [18]

Rnd 8: (in both loops) (dec, sc) x 6. [12]

Start filling with fiberfill.

7/9
Rnd 9: 6dec. [6]

Stuff with fiberfill, fasten off leaving an extra long tail for sewing, and sew closed.

THE STEERING WHEEL


With brown.

Make a slip knot. Chain 16. Slip stitch to the first chain to join.

Row 1: sc in each st around (start in the next available stitch and make the last sc in the sl st). [16]

Slip stitch to the next st, fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

The steering wheel will naturally curve a bit inward, showing the wrong side, leave it this way.

THE CARROT TOPS


We are going to make several tops of different length and thickness. With green yarn.

Tops number 1: (make 2)

Make a slip knot, chain 15. Starting in the second chain from the hook, make 14 sl st. [14]

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Tops number 2: (make 3)

Make a slip knot, chain 13. Starting in the second chain from the hook make 12sc. [12]

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

ASSEMBLY OF THE CARROT CAR

1)Sew the steering wheel to the cabin.

2)Sew the carrot tops to the trunk lid, weave in the tails inside.

Using ball point pins, position the four tires and sew them one by one

Safety eyes Caution: please be mindful that safety eyes are NOT safe for children under 3 years
old, despite their name. So if you make this item for a child, make sure to inform the parents that
children under 3 should be supervised when playing with this toy, and if you intend to sell it at a crochet
fair, I strongly advise to add a printable care card with a safety warning. An alternative would be to
embroider eyes with yarn, instead of using safety eyes.
