A delightful quirky decoration that is a bit of sculptural fun for the kitchen. A great introduction to the amigurumi technique of crochet.

The pattern allows for 4 chilli sizes to be made - using the basis of one pattern and then adjusting the rate of decrease to create variable sizes.

The option in the pattern is to make a string of chillies - see second photo or to make a ristra using raffia to make a plait. The effect is very realistic.
