Free pattern 🥦 broccoli by @lubava_crochetpattern

Start crocheting with light green yarn
1 - 6 sc in a magic ring
2 - 6 inc (12)
3 - (sc, inc) * 6 (18)
4 - 18 sc in the back loops only (this creates a clear ridge)
5-8 (4 rounds) - 18 sc
9 - 17 sc, do not complete the round (you will have a gap with unworked stitches)

(Insert safety eyes between rounds 8 and 7, approximately 3 stitches apart. Embroider the cheeks and mouth. Stuff the piece firmly.)

(The following work is divided into 3 parts)

First "Floret" (Top Center):
10 - Work 6 sc into the unworked stitches from round 9 and join to form a small ring.
11, 12 - 6 sc
(Switch to a darker green yarn)
13 - 6 inc (12)
14 - (sc, 4 dc-cluster in the next stitch) * repeat to the end of the round. A cluster (cl) is made by working 4 dc into the same stitch but leaving the last loop of each on the hook, then yarn over and pull through all loops.
15 - (4 dc-cluster in the next stitch, sc) * repeat to the end of the round.
(Stuff this floret)
16 - 6 dec (6), close the opening, fasten off and weave in the yarn tail.

Second "Floret" (Side):
(Reattach the dark green yarn to the first free sc from round 9)
10 - Work 3 sc along one side of the main broccoli body and 3 sc along the other side, creating a new ring of 6 sc.
11, 12 - 6 sc
(Switch to a darker green yarn here if you haven't already attached it)
13 - 6 inc (12)
14 - (sc, inc) * 6 (18)
15 - (sc, 4 dc-cluster in the next stitch) * repeat to the end of the round.
16 - (4 dc-cluster in the next stitch, sc) * repeat to the end of the round.
17 - (sc, dec) * 6 (12)
(Stuff this floret)
18 - 6 dec (6), close the opening, fasten off and weave in the yarn tail.

Third "Floret" (Other Side):
(Repeat the sequence for the second floret)
Reattach the yarn to the next free scs from round 9 and repeat rows 10-16 as for the first floret (or 10-18 as for the second, depending on the intended size). Stuff and close.
