Description
This crochet craft kit lets you make three pairs of fruit earrings by hand: plump red strawberries dotted with white seeds, bright yellow lemons with green leaves, and pink cherries hanging from teal stems. Inside are seven yarns in red, pink, yellow, teal, white, light green and dark green, along with a crochet hook, a needle, two stitch markers, a bag of stuffing, earring hooks and small rings to join them, plus printed instructions with a guide to the stitch abbreviations. The finished cherries come out at around 5cm long, 3.8cm wide and 2cm deep, the lemons at about 4cm at their longest and the strawberries at about 3.5cm, a cheerful size for everyday wear.
We recommend it for intermediate crocheters, who already know the basic stitches and want a small, rewarding project to practise shaping, stuffing and finishing. Each fruit is a compact piece of work, and with three designs to make you can build your confidence pair by pair. It suits a quiet afternoon at the kitchen table, a craft evening with friends or a calm hour on the sofa with a cup of tea. Anyone who loves bright, fruity accessories will enjoy wearing the results, and the finished pairs bring a pop of colour to a simple outfit.
The fruits are worked in yarn and filled with stuffing for a firm, rounded shape, then fixed to the earring hooks with the small rings supplied. The instructions take you through each fruit, and the stitch markers help you keep your place as you work. Once made, keep the earrings dry and store them where they will not be squashed, so the stuffed shapes hold their form. Wear the strawberries with a summer dress, the lemons with denim or the cherries with a plain jumper, or wrap a finished pair as a cheerful handmade present and keep the others for yourself.
