Realistic Crochet Apple Pattern – Cute Fruit Amigurumi Tutorial

Crochet apples are the prefect gift to give to a teacher or even your dentist! but I like to make them for my daughter so she can play shop keeper or use them in her pretend café! you can add a flat stone or another weight of some sort at the bottom of your apple before you add the stuffing then they are less likely to roll of the table or the teachers desk. While this pattern is available for free here on MummaJ Crochet, a PDF ad free version is also available (low cost and print friendly!)

Cut the yarn long enough, thread the yarn tail through the front loops of each of the last 6 st, pull the tail tight to close the hole.
Use the yarn tail and thread it through the apple to the bottom, skip a couple of stitches and thread the yarn tail back through the center of the apple and up to the top.
Pull the yarn tail tight so it makes an indent at the bottom and top of the apple and make a Knot to secure it. Hide the yarn inside the apple.
