The size may vary depending on which yarn and crochet hook size is used. Thicker yarn and a larger hook will make the result bigger. Your own ‘handwriting’, how tightly you crochet, also influences the size.

I used ‘Cotone’ from Lana Grossa and a 2.5 mm needle from Addi Swing.

Please refer to the pictures, here the finished potato is lying on the measuring tape to give you an idea.
