An apple a day keeps the doctor away
After some time I had to say: no more crocheted fruits! I just had too much fun making them, but the handmade advent calendar I made for swap should have some variety after all and not only crocheted fruits for pretend play.
This apple turned out kind of short and round. I was a bit sceptical about the instruction for the stem but then it went well and looks so cute!!

Picture 1: An apple is in the process of being crocheted! For now it looks like a shallow red crochet bowl. Some black jersey thread is being used as a stitch marker. The apple-to-be is laying on the written down instructions on how to crochet it!
Picture 2: The red crochet apple has been finished and is laying next to some light brown and light green yarn, which will be the stem of the apple and the leaf of the apple respectively.
Picture 3: The red crocheted apple is finished, but the light-brown stem and green leaf are only just finished and have yarn tails still hanging off. They are only placed on the apple to see how it will look and have not yet been sewn together.
Picture 4: The red crochet apple viewed in a nice close-up from above, so you can see the shape of the green leaf nicely.
Picture 5: The crocheted apple viewed slightly from the side. You can see the natural shape and the light-brown stem and green leaf in good detail. The red apple is laying on a bag with green stripes, which gives a nice and fitting contrast. [/image description]
