A green onion amigurumi usually has two main parts: the rounded white bulb and the tall green stalks. In the tutorial, you’ll see how to build that classic onion shape with clean curves, then add the greens so they stand up nicely and look “fresh.”

One of the best things about crochet vegetables is how customizable they are. You can easily adjust the look by making the greens a little longer or fuller, or by shaping the bulb slightly rounder—without needing to overthink it. If you’re making a whole set, consistency matters more than perfection, so focus on keeping your pieces similar in size and style.
