A juicy bell pepper with a darker outline, embossed ridges and a green stem with a hanging loop – a potholder, a dishcloth, a coaster, a mug rug or a bright kitchen decoration. Crochet a whole harvest in red, orange, yellow and green.
An easy pattern by Svetlana Zabelina with step-by-step instructions and photos. Idea: join two peppers and stuff them for a small cushion, or crochet with thick yarn for a bigger mat. An appendix shows how to crochet each stitch.
