Description
This pattern includes the small apple ornament (with new pictures and instructions) as well as a whole orange, grapefruit, pear, peach, and lemon/lime, each with leaves, including a kaffir lime leaf. It also includes patterns for sliced fruits: vertical lemon/lime (nub to nub), horizontal citrus, apple, pear, peach, and mandarin orange segment. One ounce (28 g) of worsted-weight yarn, used with an F/5 hook (3.75mm), will make one whole version with leaf and one sliced version of each of the seven fruits (lemon and lime counted separately); this will use up your tiny bits of yarn.
If you want to stiffen your fruit ornaments, I recommend visiting this page on stiffening options. The lime slice earrings and apple pin were made with a steel hook size 4 (2.00mm) out of embroidery floss and stiffened with cornstarch.
Stitches and techniques assumed: magic ring, slip knot, chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, triple crochet, skipping stitches, stitching around a chain, working on both sides of a chain, color change, whipstitch.
Diagrams are given for lark’s head knot, half square knot, and overhand knot.
Note that this pdf consists only of the patterns in Sliced Fruits and Whole Fruits. Whole Fruits includes the leaf patterns.
