Tiny Crochet Pear – Free Pattern

This tiny crochet pear is a fun project for Amigurumi beginners as well as seasoned crocheters. You could give them a little face, turn them into jewelry, or crochet a whole basket full of them.

Terminology

This pattern is written in U.S. terminology. I didn’t convert this one because it is so simple and quick. If you are used to British/Australian crochet terminology please replace sc (single crochet) with dc (double crochet), and 2sc (single crochet 2 in same st) with 2dc (double crochet 2 in same st). Let me know anytime if you have any questions.

Thread the end onto your tapestry needle. Fasten off the last rd by stitching the end through the 6 front loops and pulling it tight. Then stitch through the pear from the upper middle and sew in the end.

Crochet the stalk (C2)

Make a slip knot and ch 3

Sl st 2 (starting from 2nd ch from hook)

Break yarn, pull through.

Attach the stalk

Cut both ends of the stalk to the same length. Thread them onto your tapestry needle. Stitch through the pear from the top middle to the bottom middle.

Trim the ends at the bottom of the pear short, so they look like the stamen.
