Free pattern for crocheted orange – Karla’s orange

Why is it called Karla's Fruit – Karla’s Orange?

The designer wanted to make a lot of play food for her niece Karla's 2 year birthday. However, she thought that a completely ordinary round orange was too "boring" and therefore tried to make it in a way so that there was more "play in it" - this was the result.

The pattern is named after the designer's niece, therefore it is called Karla's fruit - Karla's orange.

1 sl st - 10 dc- 1 sl st, turn and continue with the rows, as with the other leaves - however, sl st have to be skipped. In addition, extra rows of dc must be made.
