September signifies back-to-school for many families. Honor the season with a fun apple pincushion for the special teacher and/or quilters in your life. For autumn get-togethers, knit up several in a variety of colors to fill a small harvest basket and give each guest a token of your bountiful hospitality!

Each apple is knitted and felted. The felted apple measures about 3.5-inches from the base to the top of its stem. It can be knit using either one strand of yarn to create a solid-color apple or two yarns knit together for a two-tone look.

A simple leaf is knit (not felted) and attached as a final touch.

The decorative autumn-themed pins shown are sold separately in my Etsy shoppe.
