Add a tiny bit of stuffing to fill in the end and then sew closed by looping the needle through the outside loop of each of the last 4 stitches, then draw tightly closed and sew in your end.

I added a face to my carrot. I also added a few thin lines around his body using black crochet thread, just for some detail.

Make as many as you like... you can make them longer or shorter by adjusting the number of rows you use in each section after a DEC Round.
Now there are 2... :D See you tomorrow for more!
