These little knitted Fruit and Vegetables make super decorations, or you can use them in dolls’ tea parties or teddy bears’ picnics. This knitting pattern includes the tomato, carrot, apple, pear, orange, pea pod, and a basket to pile them all up in.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, these are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). The stalks and basket handles are i-cord tubes worked on two DPNs. All the samples in the photos have been knitted from the same pattern, but some are using different coloured yarns than the one suggested.

A pair each of 3.5mm and 4mm single pointed knitting needles (US 4 & 6), plus two DPNs in each size for i-cord.

RECOMMENDED YARN
Sirdar Hayfield Bonus DK; double knitting/light worsted weight; 100% acrylic; one 100g/280m skein in each colour.

NOTIONS
Tapestry needle and toy filling.

SIZES
One size only - the fruit and vegetables vary between 3.5cm and 10cm, and the basket is 11cm long and 4cm tall.

TECHNIQUES
For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
