hand holding crochet pear No chemicals here, this is a genuine, all natural, organic pear! Please don't eat it though.:) I would suggest using it as an applique', tying with ribbon to a gift, adhering it to the front of a homemade card, cutting out card stock and gluing it to the back with a magnet for your fridge. The possibilities are endless. Just make one though, they're so quick and fun!

Total Time: less than 5 minutes

Yield: as many as you like!:)

Source: self

Supplies:

"I" crochet hook
tiny amount of green and brown yarn
scissors
embroidery needle for weaving in ends

Steps:

With a slip knot on your hook, chain 8.

Single crochet in the second chain from your hook and in next two chains. Half double crochet in next chain, double crochet in next chain, treble crochet in next chain, 6 treble crochet in last chain.

Rotate your work so that you are now able to make stitches in the opposite side of your chain. You will make a treble crochet in the next chain as marked by the needle.

Double crochet in the next chain, half double crochet in the next chain, single crochet in the next two chains, join with a slip stitch in the first single crochet as marked by the needle.

Fasten off your green yarn. Attach your brown yarn with a slip stitch in the same stitch where you just fastened off. Chain 4.

Slip stitch in the second chain from your hook, slip stitch in the next two chains also. Make a final slip stitch in the original spot where you joined your brown yarn. Fasten off and this is what you should have now!
