This is a quick and easy pattern for a spicy red chili pepper (or jalapeño version). The project is beginner-friendly and takes just about an hour to finish. Basic knitting technique, with increases, decreases, short rows, and simple intarsia, is required. The pattern is written for knitting flat, but can easily convert to knitting in the round. The finished pepper measures 4.5” in length.
