It’s a Potato
We all think potatoes are cute, yea? Many of us describe ourselves as one and I am feeling that heavily from all this quarantine. Potatoes are so bare and so boring but so cute for some reason! I hope you find that to be the case when you see these pudgy potatoes – and you can get started on your own for free down below!
There are so many different lives a potato can exist as – fries, tots, baked, and a couch potato. All good things and now it can live its life as a doll made as amigurumi! This project is part of my crochet garden that I am slowly releasing – are there other kinds of garden veggies or fruits you would like to see? Let me know on my socials or down in the comments below!

Adding on your details!
To add on the face, you will be taking your yarn with your darning needle and adding on everything yourself – Smile, lashes, and using pink yarn for the blush!
To add on the little brown mark on the bottom, it will begin 4 rows down from the stitches the mouth is on. Here are the stitches in which your yarn will be going through:
(From the vertical strands, 1 stitch apart. For the horizontal, zero stitches apart, see below)
Here is an example of what this looks like:
