Are we allowed to say the pineapple is our favourite? If you think these crochet fruits are cute then check out our free amigurumi unicorn and our best amigurumi bunny patterns.

Use any yarn shades you like for your versions, but as the tension needs to be tight to prevent any stuffing showing through, always downsize your hook in relation to the yarn’s recommendation. Now it's over to Charlotte for her crochet fruit patterns...

Instructions

The majority of the fruits are made in continuous rounds in a spiral – don’t join at the end of each round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the end of each round. The pattern uses concise crochet terms; for example, 6dc means work 1dc in each of the next 6 sts. It is important to use a smaller hook than recommended for the yarn.
