    There’s no denying, Tina the Turnip is simply the best. Her edible counterparts can be cooked, pickled, or eaten raw, and the sharp taste of fresh turnips makes for a great addition to salads. Tina is worked in continuous rounds and joined together with no sewing necessary. The leaves are made first and worked into the turnip for a quick and fun pattern. These techniques may take some getting used to, so set aside some extra time for your first try. Tina’s finished size is approximately 4 inches (10 cm) tall and 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
