Beginner-friendly Fruit Crochet Kit

I have just fully refreshed my eco-friendly apple and pear crochet kit! This crochet kit is beginner-friendly and contains everything you need to make two fruit in gorgeous organic yarn. Let me tell you all about it!

The organic cotton I previously used in this kit is hard to come by in the quantities I need, so I’ve been on the hunt for a while for a replacement. I have finally found one with colours and qualities I love.

This yarn is a beautiful organic (GOTS-certified) blend of cotton and non-mulesed merino wool. It is a lovely yarn to work with as it’s soft and doesn’t tend to split – perfect if you’re a beginner. It is also subtly flecked which gives a natural look to your finished fruit – I love it!

The GOTS certification, or Global Organic Textile Standard, is an international certification applied to organic textiles. The standard guarantees that a yarn is made from organically-farmed fibres and that each stage of manufacturing (washing, spinning, dying, etc) is done sustainably, with limited environmental impact and with dignified working conditions for employees in the supply chain.

Along with almost all my other crochet kits, this apple and pear kit is plastic free in both contents and packaging (some of my other kits contain upcycled plastic buttons, for example).

In addition to the headline yarn, the apple and pear kit contains everything else you need to complete this project easily and successfully. It includes a detailed, 20-page fully-illustrated pattern printed on 100% recycled paper; lovely fluffy natural wool stuffing (an annually-renewable resource); a bamboo crochet hook (optional) and a blunt-tipped metal yarn needle.

The whole is presented in a handsome recycled, reusable box and makes a lovely gift for anyone crafty.

In addition to all that, of course it comes with my full support! My contact details are provided in the kit and I’m ready to answer your queries, diagnose any difficulties you might be experiencing and even to provide additional diagrams and pictures when necessary. I like to think this personalised support is what sets me apart from the big pattern houses.

This fruit crochet kit is in particular a great way for a beginner to practice 3D crochet skills. If you’re wanting to get into amigurumi crochet and similar patterns, the apple and pear are a great place to start due to their relatively simple shapes (no paws or ears to attach!). Having said that, I do know a lot of people like to add faces to their finished fruit!
