Today I had crochet lessons with my beginners. We made fruit cosies to practise working in a round, stitch counting, remembering how to change colour and following a pattern rather than a photo tutorial.
The link is here on ravelry. The pattern is in US terms but I just scribbled the UK ones over the top. They are great for children's school bags, grown up work handbags and make excellent teacher presents for the end of term.
I simply would not send my girl to school with a nectarine thrashing about in her school bag without one of these, her friends think they are cool too!
What a fabulous idea, my son used to have a moulded soft plastic thing for his fruit, a crochet versions looks much nicer!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, not sure that my husband would want to pull his apple out of his bag at work in a crocheted cosy, but I would!! xx
ReplyDeleteThese little fruit bags are adorable, great idea for your class.

So cute. A great gift for a teacher.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute, Jo! Such a clever idea. My son would probably not appreciate one but I think my daughter would love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO cool!!! AHHH I need to learn this art form! Like right now!!! Happy day you! Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteThey are cool, Jo! It's a good idea, I have never heard of them before. I am excited to hear about the new things you are starting. PS I switched the bobbin the right way and I now have a working sewing machine again - thanks for your advice! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely Jo. Your class sound like fun :-)
