Rnd 20. dec x 6, sc (7)
FO and sew hole closed

Stem
Ch. 5. sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and then slip stitch in the remaining 3.
FO and sew to apple body.

Cherries (make 2)
Rnd 1.  MC. 6sc (6)
Rnd 2.  Inc x 6 (12)
Rnd 3. (sc, inc) x 6 (18)
Rnd 4. – 5. sc in each stitch (18)
Rnd 6. (sc, dec) x 6 (12)
Rnd 7. (dec) x 6 (6)
FO and sew in ends.

Stem
The stem is a little complicated. We’re going to work it all together. The alternative is to create your own chain, then reattach in the middle to make the branch stem.
Ch 19. sl st in the 2nd chain from the hook. Sl st x 7, ch 3, sl st in the 2nd chain from the hook, sc in the next, , sc in the next stitch of the main chain, ch 4, HDC in the 2nd chain from the hook, HDC in the next 2 stitches, sl st back to the original chain and all the way to the end. Sew each end of your stem to one of the cherries. To keep your cherries together, you can also stitch them together.

Oops! I excitedly posted the box of finished fruits to reddit and quickly found out that I had underestimated the love for the coconuts! So, in true AHA fashion, we made one on stream! Here’s your coconut pattern!
