ONION (colours brown and green)
Start by making green parts of the Onion - make 1 longer part and 1 shorter part.
Start with colour GREEN
Longer green part – make 1
R 1Â mg, 6sc (6)
R 2 - 13Â sc 6 (12 rnds) (6)
Once longer part is finished, F/O and cut off yarn (when cutting off yarn, leave short tail and using needle weave it in). Stuff with polyester filling (use small tweezers for easier stuffing) and put aside for now.
Shorter green part – make 1
R 1Â mg, 6sc (6)
R 2 - 7Â sc 6 (6 rnds) (6)
Once shorter part is finished, stuff with polyester filling (use small tweezers for easier stuffing), then join it to the longer part with sl st. Now, when both parts are completed, joined and stuffed, make:
R 8 sc 6 (around 1st part), sc 6 (around 2nd part) (12)
Don't count sl st as a stitch (skip it)
Change colour to BROWN
R 9 (in FLO: sc 1, inc)* (18)
R 10 (in BLO: sc 2, inc)* (24)
R 11 (sc 3, inc)* (30)
R 12 (sc 4, inc)* (36)
R 13 (sc 8, inc)* (40)
R 14 - 18Â sc 40 (5 rnds) (40)
R 19Â (sc 8, dec)* (36)
R 20Â (sc 4, dec)* (30)
Insert safety eyes between rounds 16 – 17, within a distance of 5 holes (count holes between the stitches). Stuff with polyester filling. Using needle and a short piece of dark brown yarn, make smile (smile can also be made in the end, when onion is finished).
R 21Â (sc 3, dec)* (24)
R 22Â (sc 2, dec)* (18)
R 23Â (sc 1, dec)* (12)
R 24 dec to the end
Once onion is completed (stuffed and closed):
go to BLO (made in round 10) and using hook make sc 1 in each stitch
when finished, join to the first stitch with sl st; next, F/O and using needle weave in remaining thread
as a last step, using colour natural, make roots (use crochet hook)
