Crochet Peas in a Pod Pattern
Peas
Start with chosen green yarn
1. sc 6 in a magic ring [6]
2. inc 6 times [12]
3. sc in each st around [18]
Stuff while you work round 4
4. dec 6 times [12]
Fasten off and weave in ends
Make 5 peas, leave a long tail and do not weave in on the 5th pea
Using the tail from the 5th pea, sew the peas together in a line
Pea Pod
Start with chosen green, I used a slightly darker green than the peas
1. ch 19, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, inc, sc 16, sc 4 in the last ch, on the base of the chs, sc 16, inc [40]
2. (inc, sc 18, inc) 2 times [44]
3. (inc, sc 20, inc) 2 times [48]
4. (inc 2, sc 21, inc) 2 times [54]
5. (inc 3, sc 24) 2 times [60]
6. sc in each st around [60]
sc 3, then fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing
Fold the end in half and sew 5 sts together on each side, this is the tail of the pod
Stem
Use the same green as for the pod
ch 6, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 4 [4]
1. in the unworked ch at the end, sc 6 [6] (this is the first round, make sure the stem is poking out on the right side of your work)
2. inc in each st around [12]
3. sc in each st around [12]
4. sc 2 (ch 3, sc in the last worked st, sc 4) 2 times, ch 3, sc in the last worked st, sc 2
Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing
Tip: turn the stem inside out while sewing
On the other end of the pod (not the tail end) fold the opening in half, sew the center of the stem to the tip of the pod, then sew 5 sts on each side of the pod together
Weave in all ends
Turn the stem right side out again and pop the row of peas in the pod
And there you have it! Your crochet peas in a pod are done, see you next time!
