Cucumber – free crochet vegetable pattern

I’m coming back with crochet vegetables. Today, the cucumber 🥒 with yellow flower is playing the main role 😉 I haven’t been here with vegetables for a long time, because I devoted my energy to crochet a spring beanie for my little girl. Unfortunately, spring does not come, and cold days have settled down for good in Poland. So I need to find a solution for boredom and expand the range of grocery store, thereby increasing the capabilities of the little cook 😉

The pattern is made by me from scratch. It took a while, because I crocheted and ripped at the same time. Finally I have gained a desired cucumber 😉

The last part, a flower, was made based on a magic ring. In the next step I crocheted 5 chains and single crochet in each of the chain returning and starting from the second chain. At the end sewed it to the cucumber.
