Step-by-Step Pattern

Step 1: Crochet the Orange (Fruit Body)

1. Round 1:
   • Start with a magic circle or chain 2, and work into the second chain from the hook.
   • Crochet 6 sc into the magic circle.
   • Pull the circle tight and close with a sl st to complete the round.
2. Round 2:
   • ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around (inc in every stitch).
   • You should now have 12 stitches. Close the round with a sl st.
     Save
3. Rounds 3-5:
   • sc in each stitch around (1 sc per stitch) for 3 rows.
   • Each row will still have 12 stitches.
4. Round 6:
   • Begin decreasing to close the fruit:
     • ch 1, then work sc2tog (dec) across the round.
     • You should now have 6 stitches.
   • Close with a sl st and leave a long tail for sewing.
5. Stuffing and Closing:
   • Fill the fruit with polyester fiberfill (or scraps of silk/fabric).
   • Use a tapestry needle to weave through the remaining 6 stitches, pull tight to close the hole, and secure.

2. Foundation Chain:

Step 3: Create the Bow

1. Bow Foundation:
   • Use the green yarn again. Start with a slip knot, then ch 3.
2. Bow Loops:
   • Work crochet loops by wrapping the yarn around and creating 3 loops on the hook.
   • Once 3 loops are on the hook, release them carefully while holding tension.
3. Secure Loops:
   • Insert the hook back into the starting loops one at a time and tighten each loop securely.
   • Repeat the process to build the spiral bow shape.
     Save
4. Length of the Bow:
   • Continue this pattern until the bow reaches a length of 30cm (12 inches) or desired measurement.
5. Finishing the Bow:
   • Secure the end of the bow by working a sl st, cutting the yarn, and weaving in the ends.
     Save

Pattern Corrections and Tips

Pattern Corrections:

• Magic Circle Troubles: If a magic circle is difficult, use a chain-2 start for ease.
• Tighten Loops in Bow: Ensure the spiral loops of the bow are securely tightened during assembly.

Tips:

1. Use a marker to track your rounds, especially in the fruit body.
2. Ensure the yarn tension is consistent throughout the project for a neat finish.
3. Experiment with smaller hooks for tighter keychains or slightly larger hooks for softer keychains.
