Whole Fruits

$5.00

A fruit basket of ornaments or appliques especially suited to a kitchen or a market tote. With this pattern, make each of seven whole fruits, with leaves and stems as desired. The leaves range from 1″ (apple and pear) to 3″ (peach) long, with the fruits all in between.

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. Just over a half ounce (14 g) of worsted-weight yarn, used with an F/5 hook (3.75mm), will make one whole fruit with leaf 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 apple pin was 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.

Diagrams are given for lark’s head knot, half square knot, and overhand knot.
