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.

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn:  Cherry red, paddy green, spring green, coffee brown, yellow, white, orange, medium thyme, warm brown, lavender and any color for the basket.
E, F, G, and J crochet hook
Polyester Fiberfill
Tapestry needle

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.
