i recently learned to crochet!!! meet my 3 sons the apple brothers
i don't have a nice written up pattern but i do have some instructions in case others would like to make their own apple brothers!
i use paintbox yarns cotton aran + a 3.25mm hook
front
i pretty much just follow this free pattern from raffamusadesigns (the goat btw) !!!! follow rounds 1-3 for the apple part (none of the squaring is necessary) as well as the part for stem and leaf! she has a very helpful video too! dont forget to sew the little seeds, i personally feel they're easier to sew on before assembly
back
just a half sphere! here are the instructions:
round 1 - single crochet 6 in magic circle
round 2 - single crochet inc x 6 (12)
round 3 - [single crochet, inc] x 6 (18)
round 4 - [inc, single crochet 2] x 6 (24)
round 5 - [single crochet, inc] x 12 (36)
rounds 6-9 - single crochet 36
fasten off and leave a long yarn tail for sewing to the apple front
feet
chain 6. [double crochet, half double crochet] in the 2nd chain from hook, slip stitch in the rest of the chains
assembly
so this is unfortunately the annoying part that i cant help much with lol. IMPORTANT NOTE is that i cut a bit of cardboard to keep the front flat! i cut it slightly smaller than the front, doesnt have to be precise. basically whip stitch the front + back together, stuff + add cardboard inside, then sew on the leaf + stem + feet. and tada! your apple brother is complete!
