Step-by-Step Instructions
Now, let us get into each of the 7 crochet mini fruits. Each one is small, sweet, and comes together quickly. Read through the full instructions for each fruit before you start crocheting.
1: Strawberry
First up is the strawberry! This little fruit is a classic and one of the most fun pieces to make in this mini fruit collection. The pop of red with tiny white seeds gives it so much character.

3: Mangosteen
Now, let us make the crochet mangosteen. This tropical fruit is one of my favorites in this set. It has a lovely round shape and the little leaves on top make it look so complete. If you have never made a mangosteen before, this pattern will definitely be a fun one.

Stalk:
