How to Crochet Fruits and Vegetables
Most of the crocheted veggies and fruits below are amigurumi patterns. Amigurumi or “crocheted or knitted stuffed toy” is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures.
To Get Started:
- Crochet Tools
- Knowledge of Basic Crochet Stitches
- Crochet Veggie or Fruit Pattern
Below, you can learn how to crochet these fruits and veggies by going over the materials and stitches you’ll need to know before getting started.
Materials Needed For Crochet Veggies and Fruit
- Stitch Marker: This crochet tool is used to keep track of stitches in projects.
- Safety Eyes: These are plastic eyes that are great for amigurumi patterns. If you’d prefer to use yarn for eyes by surface crocheting. (scrap yarn is great for this!)
- Yarn Needle
- Pipe Cleaner: A pipe cleaner is sometimes used inside amigurumi to make moveable parts or make them more stiff. For example, you would use one in a fruit or vegetable stem to make it stay put
- Worsted Weight Yarn: This yarn weight is the most commonly used, but in some cases you will see a bulkier yarn or lighter weight yarn used in amigurumi.
- Crochet Hook: The hook size need for each pattern will vary. Some of these fruit and veggie patterns may call for regular hooks or even steel crochet hooks.
- Stuffing: Most amigurumi will have stuffing, so this is an important material to have on hand. Poly-Fil is my personal favorite.
