Not too long ago we found out we were pregnant, with twins! We are beyond excited and of course, had to add some crochet additions to our pictures. I decided, for the first trimester I would crochet little fruit, to document some of the weeks. Eleven through fourteen weeks pregnant, with a lime, plum, peach, and lemon.

According to different pregnancy books and websites, I came up with the approximate length the babies should be at each week and the corresponding fruit.

Materials:
All fruit use:
Worsted Weight Yarn #4 – Colors Below.
‘E’/3.5mm Crochet Hook
Tapestry Needle
Poly-Fil Stuffing
Stitch Marker

Lime: Vanna’s Choice in Kelly Green (approx 10 yards)

Plum: Vanna’s Choice in Purple (approx 18 yards) and Vanna’s Choice in Kelly Green (approx 2 yards)

Lemon: Red Heart with Love in Daffodil (approx 20 yards)

Peach: Caron Simply Soft in Persimmon (approx 30 yards)

Here is the approximate lengths the fruit should end up being:
11 Weeks – Lime – Length 1.61”
12 Weeks – Plum – Length 2.13”
13 Weeks – Peach – Length 2.91”
14 Weeks – Lemon – Length 3.42”
