Peach Perfection
Looking to knit a a soft fuzzy peach? Let’s do it!
I recommend knitting all parts flat. Ideally, the yarn comprising the fruit portion should be more bulky relative to the needles in order to avoid bleed-through from the stuffing. The yarn for the leaves and stem can be lighter, as these elements do not require stuffing. Although not essential, I highly recommend using a coarse felting needle for finishing and sculpting.
The finished piece measures about 3” tall including the stem.
NOTIONS:
Pair Knitting Needles - US 6 / 4 mm
Sewing Needle
Coarse Felting Needle
MATERIALS:
15g Heavy Wstd. Or Aran Wt. - Peach
4g Sport or DK - Leaf
Scrap Amt. Sport or DK - Stem
PolyFill or Wool Stuffing
GAUGE:
Different size needles and yarn can be substituted. Gauge is not important for this project. Just make sure that the fabric knits up tightly to prevent the stuffing from bleeding through.
SKILLS:
Basic knitting technique, with simple increases, decreases, short rows, and seaming. Sewing: ladder stitch, mattress stitch and simple crochet chain.
