This listing includes patterns for both the Crochet Apple and the Crochet Apple Slices (if purchasing the PDF version). The Crochet Apple alone can also be found for free on the blog.

With yarn choice, you can make the apples either in traditional colors or make them feel a bit more modern by using neutrals or tweeds. You can also choose whether you want to add a cute, Kawaii face or not.

The pattern does require minimal needle shaping and the stitching of some parts. Overall, it is a great pattern for someone wanting to expand their beginner crochet experience or for those already more advanced in their crochet skills.

The Crochet Apple and Apple Slices make great teacher and friend gifts, are great for imaginative play, decor, craft fairs, and so much more! You’re going to want to make a whole bushel full!
