BASKET OF ONION RINGS

This is the next on a long list of food related plush. My daughter has been bugging me about having a basket of onion rings to go along with the Emotional Support Fries that she recently had me purchase for her on Amazon. I have been putting it off for some time. I finally decided to take a break from orders for customers to make them for her. The basket is made using a double strain of red yarn held together while making it. H crochet hook is only used on the basket. The sport weight yarn is used to make the paper lining of the basket. Putting eyes on the onion rings was a request from my daughter.

Worsted weight yarn: Red, white, gold, and black.

E and H crochet hook

Glue
