Apple
This pattern is suitable for beginners as it is quite easy. As with all my Amigurumi crochet patterns, the rounds are worked in spirals- no chaining or adding new row stitches is necessary at all. If you wish, you can use a safety pin or stitch marker to keep track of your new rounds.
You’ll need:
Worsted weight yarn (cotton, acrylic, wool is my personal preference) in apple color (golden yellow, spring green, red) and small amount of brown yarn for stem
Hook size G
Stuffing (wool roving or polyfill)
Darning or tapestry needle
Apple-
With your apple colored yarn, make a magic ring with 6 stitches.
Round 1: 2sc in each st around- 12 st
Round 2: 1 sc, 2 sc increase around- 18 st
Round 3: sc around- 18 st
Round 4: 2sc, 2 sc increase around- 24 st
Rounds 5-6: sc around- 24 st
Round 7: 3sc, 2 sc increase around- 30 st
Rounds 8-10: sc around- 30 st
Round 11: 4sc, 2 sc increase around- 36 st
Rounds 12-15: sc around- 36 st
Round 16: 5sc, 2 sc increase around- 42 st
Round 17: sc around- 42 st
Round 18: 5sc, decrease in the next stitch around- 36 st
Round 19: 4sc, decrease in the next stitch around- 30 st
Round 20: 3sc, decrease in the next stitch around- 24 st
At this point you want to thread your magic loop yarn end on a needle and bring through to the bottom of the apple right through the ring center. Stuff firmly.
Round 21: 2sc, decrease in the next stitch around- 18 st
Round 22: 1sc, decrease in the next stitch around- 12 st
Round 23: sc around- 12 st
Round 24: Decrease every 2 st- 6 st
Weave finishing end through the last 6 stitches TWICE and pull closed. With your needle, bring magic ring yarn end up through the top, pull to create a “pucker” in the apple, then tie both yarn ends together making sure to knot them firmly together. Weave in your yarn ends.
To make a stem simply make a 3 stitch i-cord out of brown yarn.
Enjoy your apple!

That is adorable. Are you planning on making a bushel of apples in different colors? That would be very pretty!
Thanks Amber! Yea, I’m thinking of making some more in different colors soon.
A few questions:
- Can you describe the magic ring yarn tail process more detailed? I’m lost.
- Why go through the 6 sts TWICE at the end?
- In the bottom pic, is that a hole or brown yarn?
TY for a great aapple pattern!
Hi Chastity, I emailed you with some answers, but I will also post them here in case you didn’t get the email.
To answer your questions:
- You can see a tutorial on how to do a magic ring here.
- Going through these stitches twice assures that the yarn end will not work loose from play in the future. Kind of an added safety measure.
- The brown on the bottom is a yarn end from the i-cord stem, I simply made a few stitches with it to secure it all the more and add some more realistic detail.
I hope this helps, please don’t hesitate to email me with any further questions you may have.
