Who wouldn’t want an over sized pear in their house!!

A large, fun, quirky design piece for the young or old. Perfect in a child’s room, or for a trendy space in a modern home. This pear is sure to be a talking piece no matter where or how you decide to use it.

Worked with three strands of yarn, your pear will crochet quickly and be ready to be used in no time.

The gauge above is an approximate and has been worked out using 3 strands of 8ply/DK yarn and a 6mm/J hook. The pattern can be adapted to any yarn to make different sizes, just adjust your hook size accordingly.

Supplies needed if using the suggested yarn:
6 skeins of Moda Vera (4 Seasons) 8ply acrylic in green for the pear and leaf (you will have partial skein left over as you are working with 3 strands at a time)
scraps of 8ply acrylic in brown for the stem (again you will be using 3 strands)
approx 2 kilos of fibre fill/teddy bear filling
darning needle
6mm hook
tape measure

Happy hooking friends!
