If you watched our inspiration video, then you know this is my favorite project of the month! These felt root vegetables are an updated version of our original felt garden — perfect for anyone who is ready for more of an intermediate project.

To get started, check out our tools and materials list below. Then download the template at the end of the post, which includes the pattern to make felt carrots, beets, and onions.

Un-Beetable Crafts

Little ones will have so much fun playing with these felt root vegetables and growing their own pretend garden. To make our 3D stuffed veggies look even more realistic, Krista added a lot of details, such as ridges on the carrots, roots on the onions, and three kinds of green, leafy stems for each veggie. Our tutorial will walk you through how to do this, but if you have any questions, just reach out!

Skill level: Intermediate. (If you’re a beginner, try making our other felt veggies first!)

Stitches used: Blanket stitch, whip stitch, running stitch, and double running stitch. If you want to learn how to do these stitches or need a refresher, check out our embroidery guide.

How to Make Felt Root Vegetables

1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the pattern below.
2. Cut out felt according to pattern using a Cricut Maker (optional) or scissors.
3. To make the beets: match and pin together two of the side pieces and blanket stitch the edges together along one side, starting at the top, using 2 strands of matching floss.
4. Once you stitch down to the tip, match and pin a third side piece to one of the first two. Continue to sew around the tip and up the side, attaching the third side. Knot off the floss at the top.
