It is the cutest little knitted peach!
I have always thought that crochet works best for amigurumi... until I saw a knitted peach on the instagram feed of Jooles of Sew Sweet Violet. I had to get the pattern and make it!
The pattern is called Peached by Hunter Hammersen.
It was a fiddly little blighter to make, I have to admit - especially as I'm not very proficient at that kind of knitting - but totally worth it in the end!
I used an odd combination of yarn weights for this...
The peach yarn was from a Norah George mini (fingering weight) that was in an advent calendar I bought from Jooles (Sew Sweet Violet) in 2018.
For the stalk I had to use some aran weight yarn, as it was the only brown I had. So, I altered the pattern to make the stalk by knitting a 3 stitch i-cord or the stalk would have been way too thick.
I used DK weight King Cole Bamboo Cotton for the leaf, and tried to knit extra tightly!
I used 3mm needles for the lot as I am a tight knitter. I made the bigger size peach from the pattern, and the smaller size leaf.
I love it! A very cute little make!
Good enough to eat!x

DeleteOMGGGG this is adorable! That peach colour is so perfect. Ever since I was pregnant with Cora I've had a soft spot for that exact colour. And it reminds me of Cora's butt, which is equally adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex! Baby's bums really are so adorable aren't they?!
