Crochet Apple Amigurumi Pattern Step By Step

Crochet apple amigurumi is like making a little toy apple with yarn and a crochet hook.

Imagine taking bright red yarn to make the round part of the apple.

It's all red and looks just like the outside of a real apple.

Then, for the small part on top where the apple attaches to the tree, you use brown yarn to make a tiny stem.

This brown stem sits on top of the red apple body, making it look even more like an apple you'd find in a fruit bowl or on a tree.

It's a cute and soft handmade version of an apple that you can hold in your hand, decorate your home with, or give to someone as a sweet gift.

Crochet Apple Amigurumi Pattern

Apple Body:

Starting off: Use red yarn to make a slipknot, chain 2, and then make 6 single crochets in the first chain. Pull the tail to tighten.
Increasing Rounds:
- Increase in each stitch (2 single crochets in each stitch) to go from 6 to 12 stitches.
- Next row: Increase to 18 by doing 1 single crochet in the first stitch, followed by an increase (2 single crochets in one stitch).
- Increase to 24 by doing 1 single crochet in the first and second stitches, followed by an increase in the third stitch.
- Increase to 30 by doing 1 single crochet in the first three stitches, followed by an increase in the fourth stitch.
- Increase to 36 by doing 1 single crochet in the first four stitches, followed by an increase in the fifth stitch.
- Increase to 42 by doing 1 single crochet in the first five stitches, followed by an increase in the sixth stitch.
- Increase to 48 by doing 1 single crochet in the first six stitches, followed by an increase in the seventh stitch.
Straight Rows: Place a stitch marker, and then make eight rows of single crochet without any increases or decreases.
Decreasing Rounds:
- Start to decrease by doing 6 single crochets followed by a decrease across the front loops of two consecutive stitches.
- Next row: Single crochet for one round without decreasing (42 stitches should remain).
- Continue decreasing in subsequent rows:
  - Decrease to 36 stitches by doing 4 single crochets followed by a decrease.
  - Decrease to 30 stitches by doing 3 single crochets followed by a decrease.
  - Decrease to 24 stitches by doing 2 single crochets followed by a decrease.

Stuffing the Apple:

After decreasing to 24 stitches, start adding stuffing to the apple. Add more stuffing after the next row as needed, but do not overstuff.

Finishing Decreases:

Decrease from 24 to 18 by doing 1 single crochet and a decrease in each sequence.
Once you have 18 stitches, add the last bit of stuffing and then decrease from 18 to 12 stitches by doing 1 single crochet followed by a decrease.
For the last row, make a decrease in every stitch until you have 6 stitches left.
Cut the yarn, leaving a long enough tail to close the hole by threading it through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches and pulling tight.

Creating the Indent and Stalk:

Thread the tail from the top through to the bottom and back up to create an indent at the top of the apple. Knot it to keep it in place and hide the tail inside.

Making the Apple Stalk:

Use brown yarn to chain 7, starting with a slip knot.
Skip the first chain and make 1 single crochet in each subsequent chain (total of 6 single crochets).
Cut the yarn, leaving a tail long enough to attach to the apple.

Making the Apple Leaf:

With green yarn and a longer tail, make a slipknot and chain 10.
Make 3 double crochets in the fourth chain from the hook.
In the next three chains, make 1 double crochet in each.
Then make half-double crochets in the next two chains.
Finish with 1 single crochet in the last chain, 1 slip stitch in that same chain, and turn your work.
Mirror the crochet pattern on the other side of the chain.
Finish with a slip stitch to the first double crochet.

Chain 6 (for the stem of the leaf), skip the last chain, make 1 single crochet in each returning chain, and attach the stem to the leaf with a slip stitch. Leave a tail for attaching to the apple.
