Hello my dears. Today I will share a wonderful decorative crochet pattern that you can use for Christmas. Designed in the shape of a candy apple, this cute crochet toy has a very simple design, but with the help of a tiny straw, it can turn into a wonderful candy apple. It turns into a wonderful decorative product with the help of the tiny ribbon around it. If you’re ready, let’s start.
Candied Apple Free Pattern
It both surprises and touches me that there are still such Christmas decorations. The candy apple is a very meaningful figure that reflects the past and is definitely one of the most indispensable gifts for me. You can decorate your Christmas tree or any object using only crocheted candy apples.

Cut the yarn, and close off.
STEM
Chain 8 and start in the second loop from the hook. Crochet 7 single crochets. Fasten off but leave a very long tail.
LEAF
Chain 10 and start in the second loop from the hook. Crochet: 1 ss, 1 ss, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 dc in the same
stitch, 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 hdc, 3 hdc in the same stitch. Continue on the other side of the chain. You now have 8 loops to crochet the following: 1 hcd, 2 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1
ss, 1 ss. Cut the yarn and leave a long tail. Sew the yarn down through the leaf. You can pull a little to adjust the appearance of the leaf.
Sew the leaf and stem together with the yarn from the stem. Lead the stem and leaf in the top of the apple. With your needle, you pull the yarn all the way through from top to bottom, so the yarn is hanging out. Pull the yarn at the bottom to give the apple the right shape. Now fasten off. Decorate the apple with sprinkles and glue on the stick.
