00:00:02,890 --> 00:00:05,820
- Hi it's Twinkie let's crochet an apple.

3
00:00:05,820 --> 00:00:07,540
You know how you're in
the grocery store looking

4
00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:10,410
for the perfect apple but
they all have little nicks

5
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:12,210
or bruises or lumpy bumpies?

6
00:00:12,210 --> 00:00:14,919
We're just going to go ahead
and make our perfect specimen.

7
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:17,339
This is a pretty approachable
project for beginners,

8
00:00:17,339 --> 00:00:20,149
we'll cover some basic crochet
techniques, such as magic

9
00:00:20,149 --> 00:00:23,429
circle, the single crochet
stitch, slip stitch,

10
00:00:23,429 --> 00:00:25,960
how to increase and decrease,
and at the end I'll show you

11
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,739
how to sew on some cute details.

12
00:00:27,739 --> 00:00:31,399
For the apple you'll need
about one yard of a dark green

13
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:34,270
worsted weight yarn, about
two yards of a dark brown

14
00:00:34,270 --> 00:00:37,939
worsted weight yarn, and about
three yards of a light green

15
00:00:37,939 --> 00:00:40,770
worsted weight yarn or you
could use red for a red apple.

16
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:43,265
All these colors are Lion
Brand Vanna's Choice.

17
00:00:43,265 --> 00:00:46,429
This is olive, espresso, and fern.

18
00:00:46,429 --> 00:00:49,130
You'll also need a small
amount of polyester stuffing,

19
00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:52,340
a small wooden stick or pencil
to help you with stuffing,

20
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:56,039
a G hook, an H hook, a
small pair of scissors,

21
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:59,310
a tapestry needle, stitch
markers or a small piece

22
00:00:59,310 --> 00:01:01,950
of scrap yarn in a contrasting
color, and don't forget

23
00:01:01,950 --> 00:01:03,463
