Crochet Apple Amigurumi Pattern

Posted on Last updated:

The idea of creating a crochet apple amigurumi pattern hit me instantly while I am cutting up the apples for the apple crumble muffins. If you’ve read my delicious apple crumble muffins recipe, you will notice a red apple in the photo, but that is the small apple I got the pattern from a book. I want something bigger, something like the size of a big Granny Smith Apple, juicy and delicious, so I came out with this design adapted from the small crochet apple pattern.

I am super excited to share this excellent apple crochet pattern with you. Not only that the Amigurumi Big Apple great as a piece of home decor, but I also find that they are great to make into a pincushion.

Made these as an end of the year present for my kids' teachers! Thank you for an easy to follow, versatile, cute, free pattern! I used 4 ply yarn with a 3.5mm hook, which ended up making it much larger than I wanted. I figured out that to get the size to my liking, I simply followed your instructions for rounds 1-8, then did 4 rows of {36}, then I skipped to round 27 and followed through until the end. And I found a different pattern for the leaf that was more round. (No offense!) Added a sweet little face and I couldn't be happier. Thanks again!!!!
