Pattern for two, realistically irregular potatoes.
These potatoes are part of my range of fruit and vegetables (third picture). I have designed them to be as natural as possible – no symmetrical vegetables here!
I have included two patterns, for added variation if you are making several.
These make great toys for a play kitchen or veg garden - us the same pattern to make beach pebbles, or boulders for a child's building site.
Please see my other matching fruit and vegetable crochet patterns (third picture).
The pattern includes detailed notes on yarn and stuffing choices. It is written in both UK and US crochet terminology. Both files will be available for you on purchase and you can choose whichever you prefer to use.
All my patterns come with my full support - just e-mail me if you have any questions.
Important features of my crochet patterns: My crochet patterns include both a detailed 'tutorial-style' set of instructions with colour photos, and a succinct unillustrated pattern using standard crochet conventions - the best of both worlds!

Little Conkers
Little Conkers exists to help you get the most from your time and pennies - whether you're making something for yourself or as a gift - as a way of spreading the joy of creativity.
I know that, for many people, creativity is often fitted into the slivers of time that you can find between all the other "must dos" in your life. But you know that making something yourself means it can be exactly what you need, look exactly how you want and can give you untold pleasure day after day.
My sewing and crochet patterns are specifically designed with the time-strapped and frugal in mind, requiring no superfluous equipment and including practical suggestions on how to up-cycle materials wherever possible.
I am a real person, and always love to hear from my customers all around the world. All my patterns come with my full e-mail support, so do feel free to ask any questions you may have. Enjoy your creating!
