– Hook: 3.5mm or 4.0mm crochet hook

4. Designer Notes / Tips

When working on the Caramel Apple Plush, you’ll primarily use single crochet stitches, which create a lovely, smooth texture. For added depth, try incorporating a few rows of half double crochet for the caramel section. Remember to stuff the plush firmly but not overly tight, as a light touch will give it that adorable, squishy feel while maintaining its shape.

For assembling the different pieces, it’s best to work from the bottom up. Start with the body and attach the apple top, ensuring that the colors blend naturally. If you want to change the yarn, consider using a cotton blend for a softer finish or a bulky yarn for a larger plushie. Keep an eye on gauge by making a small swatch; this will help ensure your plushie turns out the right size.

If you’re making this plush for a child, ensure that all pieces are securely attached and consider using embroidery for the eyes rather than safety eyes to avoid any choking hazards.

Assembly

– Attach the caramel piece to the top of the apple body with the tapestry needle, ensuring it covers the top smoothly.

– Place the safety eyes between rounds 9 and 10 of the apple and securely attach them, or embroider them if preferred.

– If using a pipe cleaner, shape it into a stick and insert it into the top of the apple, securing it with a small amount of stuffing to keep it in place.

– Weave in any loose ends and make sure everything is secured.
