How to Crochet Amigurumi Leeks
The Leek family are set to bring the vegetable patch to life, just in time for St David's Day!
Meet Mr and Mrs Leek, proud parents to the Leek Twins and Baby Leek. They're the Posh and Becks of the place – they've got all the carrots wishing they could grow a moustache like Mr Leek, and all the onions wishing they could be as tall as Mrs Leek. Meanwhile, the little Leeks love to cause mischief and mayhem but they're cute enough to get away with it.
You'll love getting in on the fun, so what are you waiting for? Leek, comment, share.
