Free Pear Crochet Pattern - Notes

Hello, and Happy Friday to you all!

This is my Free Pear crochet pattern! Create your own juicy conference pear, perfect for a hot summers day - though I wouldn't recommend eating this one! These adorable crocheted pears are great to decorate your house or as a handmade alternative to those plastic fruit toys for kids.

This is the latest crochet pattern, released free to all you wonderful Hookers, as a part of my Free Pattern Friday collection. While I can’t promise a free crochet pattern every week, I will always try my best and appreciate all your support!

For this pattern, you will need to know the following stitches, listed below. As always, feel free to customise the yarn colours and materials as you like.

Size

The approximate size of this plush is 8cm tall – but this may vary depending on your technique.

Terminology

This pattern, along with all my other free crochet patterns, is written using US crochet terminology (eg. sc, hdc, dc). If you would like to purchase this pattern, you will receive both a UK and US terminology version. If you need assistance you can find my terminology translation table here.

  • […] indicates a series of stitches to be repeated
  • (…) represents stitch count you should have once round is completed

Materials

For this free pattern, I recommend using DK weight yarn with a 3.5mm sized hook. You can change the yarn and hook size according to what you prefer, I have a list of which hooks to use with what yarns here.

The DK yarn that I use is Stylecraft Special DK, however I have had similar success with brands such as Hayfield Bonus, Paintbox and King Cole Value.
