Amigurumi Kit: Fruit Friends

Crochet a bowl of five smiling fruit with this amigurumi kit from DMC, designed by María Alejandra Montero: an apple, a pear, an avocado, a slice of watermelon and a pair of cherries. Each one has safety eyes, an embroidered smile and rosy cheeks. DMC rates this one easy, so it's a lovely place to start if you're new to amigurumi. The kit uses Happy Cotton, DMC's 100% cotton yarn that gives crisp, neat stitches.

Kit contains:

• 3 x 20g balls of Happy Cotton (100% cotton, 43m each)
• 1 x 10m skein of Soft Cotton (100% cotton)
• 2 x 2m skeins of Mouliné Spécial embroidery floss (100% cotton)
• 3mm crochet hook
• Needle
• 4 pairs of safety eyes

Instructions are printed in English, French and Spanish. A QR code takes you to German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Japanese versions, plus video tutorials.

Each fruit measures approximately 6.5 x 7.5cm.
