FRUITS

My daughter asked me to design a series of crochet edibles.  This is the next set of items in this series.  This pattern is a variety of fruits.  It includes—strawberry, apple, pear, closed banana, open banana, orange, lemon, lime, grapes, and pineapple.  This pattern also includes a basket to carry them in.  The basket can be made in any color.  My daughter loves red and blue, so I used red and blue sparkle yarn.

LITTLE FOX

My daughter saw “100 Little Knitted Projects” by Sarah Keen at the library.  She fell in love with several of the patterns in the book.  The problem with the patterns was they were knitted.  I do not know how to knit.  I pointed this out to my wife when she brought me the book.  I am sure that most parents know that when a 5 year old looks at you with their eyes, you cannot say no to them.  I had to come up with something.  I used the picture in the book to design a crocheted version.  Here is the pattern.

TOE SHAPING :
To shape toes, thread yarn needle with cut ends of a doubled strand of BODY color yarn.  Using photo as a guide for stitch placement, insert needle through sole at first toe position and go straight through foot and out instep, pulling yarn through until loop protrudes from foot.  Bring yarn over top of foot to form toes and insert needle through loop; pull tightly.  Insert needle back through foot on outside of loop to secure and bring needle out at second toe on sole.  Bring thread over foot and insert needle through instep and go straight through foot and out sole at same point; pull tightly.  Take a couple of very small stitches to secure; insert needle inside the foot and push it out the bottom so the yarn does not show; cut the end close to the foot.  Use top of needle to pull stuffing into toe areas and shape foot.
