Crochet a whimsical fruit charm to decorate your bag or use as a cheerful keychain! Instructions included for crocheting a watermelon, lemon, lime, orange, and apple.

Each fruit is crocheted in the round as a flat circle. If there is a rind, the last round is in a different color.

A little bit of embroidery, a small handful of stuffing, and some joining stitches bring these adorable charms to life.

This is a fun, satisfying project for anyone familiar with crochet basics: how to chain, single crochet, and count stitches.

Perfect as quick crochet gifts, these small fruits use only small amounts of each color. They’re shown here in crisp 100% cotton yarn, but any similar weight yarn with good stitch definition can work beautifully.
