This autumn in Hamburg, it\u2019s about as sunny as can be, and so I enjoy going out to the park looking at wonderful golden trees. But however, you cannot alway be outside which is why I designed this cute little apple. It will bring the autumn sun into your house, making it even more fluffy and cozy. It also makes a lovely toy in your child\u2019s kitchen. And of course you can decide whether you want to give it a face or rather crochet a realistic fruit. But I guess you want to start right away, so let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crochet pattern for cheeky or realistic little apple\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 skein of yarn in the colour you\u2019d like your apple to have (I chose yellow, so I could use red for the cheeks, but you could also take any other colour combination you like), bits and pieces of red, green, brown and black yarn, crochet hook, which is too small four your yarn (I chose 2.5 although 3.5 was recommended for my yarn), filling, needle and scissors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut yarn and sew up the end. Then take the brown yarn tail from the beginning. Put it on your needle and go into the apple with it again, bring it all the way up to the stalk (you might have to squeeze the apple a bit together to do that). Sew up the yarn end. Your apple should now have a realistic form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Now embroider the face as you see it on the pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ready you are with your cheeky apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
