This cute apple cozy is very easy to crochet. Make for yourself or gift to friends and loved ones :)

This cozy will fit an apple with diameter of about 2.6 inches/6.6cm at its broadest part. The two green ties will hold a smaller apple securely inside. I’ve made the ties to knot once only for convenience of taking out the apple. However, I’ve included instructions to increase the length of the ties if you prefer to knot them twice. Also, there is some stretch in the design and hence it can accomodate a bigger apple too!

For this pattern, you will need to know how to slip stitch, single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet, decreasing, fpdc, bpdc and crocheting in front or back loops only. Instructions are given for fpdc and bpdc.

I used a “laceweight/fine” cotton-acrylic blend yarn which is 18 wraps-per-inch. This pattern consists of 5 pages and it comes with many pictures detailing different stages of crocheting. The final cozy size will depend on the type of yarn used, the crochet hook size and crocheting tension.
