Free Crochet Brock the Broccoli Toy Pattern

Instructions are very sketchy, not for beginners.

For example on Stem Rnd 17 (Branch opening): "1 sc in each of 1st 6 sc. Ch 4. Skip next 8sc. 1sc in next sc and each sc to end of rnd. 32 sts (including ch-4)". So I SC into the first 6 stitches, then chain 4, but skip over 8 (so I'm down 4 now), reattach, and continue to the end of the round? That is only 28 (including the ch-4). But the instructions specified there should have been 32 in prior round, and that there should now be 32 in this round (even though we have removed 4 sts from the rnd). The following instructions continue to assume this as well (eg, 18th round says 1sc in each sc/ch to end of rnd, 32 sts). I paid for this pattern in a book (Amigurumi Friends: 20+ Easy Crochet Toys), and this is just one of so many errors I can't believe anyone actually tested these prior to publication. Broch the Broccoli will be very cute if I can ever figure out how to finish him.

brock is incomplete…

The problem is with the small florette. it’s definitely wrong. at the 7th round the instructions provided are incorrect. it’s impossible to make brock the way the instructions instruct. i had to make brock myself with my own brain. however my 82 year old grandma will love him regardless. the 7th round instructions only tell you to make 3 stitches instead of 12 bc it doesn’t tell you to repeat. otherwise brock would not be complete.

• We're sorry to hear you are having issues with the CROCHET BROCK THE BROCCOLI TOY pattern, but we're happy to hear you were able to work it out to your satisfaction. When working the seventh row of the small florette, the instructions state: 7th rnd: Ch 1. *Sc2tog. Rep from * around. Join. 12 sc. Fasten off. There is a repeat specified, and as such, you should end up with 12 stitches. We appreciate that you took the time to contact us, and hope your grandma enjoys your creation.

Mistakes in the pattern

My son wanted me to make this for him. I got to the 9th rnd and had an issue. The stitches in the repeat doesn't match the stitch count. It took me 30 minutes to figure out that I needed to drop the last 2 stitches on the repeat to get to the 72 stitches. Still working on this one. Will update as I go.

• Hello! Thank you for your comments regarding the Brock the Broccoli Toy pattern. You should have 48 sts after the 8th rnd. In the 9th rnd, each repeat consumes 8 sts, which means there will be 6 completed stitch repeats. Let’s take a look at the 9th Rnd. 9th rnd: Ch 1. Repeat begins: *1 sc in next sc. 1 tr in next sc. (2 sts consumed, 2 sts created) [(1 sc. 1 tr) in next sc] 4 times. (4 sts consumed, 8 sts created) 1 sc in next sc. 1 tr in next sc. Rep from * around. Join. 72 sts. Note that the instructions with the brackets and parentheses tell you to work a stitch combination of 1 sc and 1 tr into the next sc AND to do that 4 times total. If written longhand in the pattern, it would look like the following: (1 sc. 1 tr) in next sc. (1 sc. 1 tr) in next sc. (1 sc. 1 tr) in next sc. (1 sc. 1 tr) in next sc I hope this explanation helps you along. Enjoy your project!
