Step-by-Step Instructions
I will be dividing this crochet apple guide into 5 sections:
- Apple
- Stem
- Leaf
- Legs
- Putting It Together
1: Apple
To start, let us work on the apple body. This is the largest piece and takes the most rounds, so take your time and mark your stitches as you go.

3: CH, 6 (SC, V), SL ST
4: CH, 6 (SC, V, SC), SL ST

2: Stem
Next, work on the stem. This part is quick and easy.
1: MR, 6 SC, SLST
2 to 5: CH, 6 SC, SL ST
Leave a long tail for sewing
3: Leaf
After that, make the leaf.
12 CH, go back 2 chains, SC, 2 HDC, DC, 4 TR, DC, 2 HDC, 3 CH, 2 HDC, DC, 4 TR, DC, 2 HDC, SC, SL ST
Leave a long tail for sewing
4: Legs
Now, make the legs. You will need to do two.
1: MR, 6 SC, SL ST
2: CH, 6 V, SL ST
3 to 4: CH, 12 SC, SL ST
5: CH, 6 A, SL ST
6 to 8: CH, 6 SC, SL ST
5: Putting It together
Finally, assemble all the pieces. This is my favorite part.
Step 1: Attach the legs
Place the legs about 2 stitches apart. Sew them on securely. You can also add a dab of hot glue for extra hold if you want to be sure they stay in place.
Step 2: Attach the stem and leaf
Sew the stem on first, then attach the leaf. Once the leaf is sewn on, glue about one third of it flat against the apple body. This keeps the leaf from sticking out and gives the finished piece a much cleaner look.
Step 3: Glue the eyes and sew the mouth
For the final touch, choose your preferred safety eye size and glue them in place. Then use a length of black yarn to sew on a simple mouth. And that is it!
Here is the final look!
