This worked up so quickly that it actually surprised me. I started it thinking I’d finish it tomorrow… an hour later, I’m holding a completed apple. Amazing.

I used the magic loop instead of the ch 2 to start because, really. It’s magic.

I got the top to dimple a little by weaving the end through each stitch around the opening, pulling tight, then shoving the needle down through the apple to the beginning stitches and yanking very hard as I secured the yarn in those stitches.
