Plushy Produce: Fruit Basket is a soft and playful collection of mini crochet fruits—perfect for your own Little Darling! Whether you’re crafting for a toy kitchen, setting up a market stall, or just want to make something sweet and squishy, this fruity bundle is a joy to make.

I designed these quick and beginner-friendly patterns using Scheepjes Little Darling, a wonderfully soft chenille yarn that gives the fruits their plush and cuddly look. You only need a small amount of yarn per piece, making it a fantastic stash-busting project or perfect for using the Little Darling Veggie Patch Colour Pack.

The set includes an apple, banana, grapes, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pumpkin, and strawberry. Each one is easy to customize, perfect as a gift or a playful addition to your home. Whether you’re decorating a nursery or crafting for your little one’s play kitchen, these fruits are sure to make you smile.

I can’t wait to see your fruit basket come to life!

• Stuffing is not indicated per round—please stuff as you go.
• US crochet terms are used throughout.
• Designed with Scheepjes Little Darling yarn (chenille, 100% polyester).

Tip: Use colour 401 – Ice Bear (white) to make your swatch, as it is the least used yarn in this bundle. Frogged yarn may fluff up slightly, which can affect the size of your fruit.
