Notes
Slim bendy eggplant from the mobile set, by lulu. Shorthand: X=sc, V=inc, A=dec, T=dc, F=hdc, E=sl st. Rounds 23-25 are printed compactly in the source; keep decreasing in line until 6 sts remain.

Notes
Squishy Jellycat-style peach by @白羊团团钩. The long-tail cinch through the body creates the peach cleft. Rounds 3-9 are printed as repeat units (x,v / 2x,v / ...) — repeat each unit around.

Fasten off, sew to the lemon.
Notes
Jellycat lemon lookalike with long legs and two leaves. 'M' in leg Rnds 6-7 is an undefined shorthand in the source (likely a cluster/decrease shaping the heel) — follow the photo when working those rounds. TV=dc increase, w=3 sc in one st, T=dc, F=hdc.
Avocado Half — Flesh, Skin & Pit Symbols: X = sc, V = inc, A = dec, BLO = back loop only, K = skip.

Notes
Avocado half with removable-look pit. Original Turkish pattern (AVOKADO Tarifi) by zeynebin.yumaklari, Chinese translation by @沐子手作屋. The short-row flat section forms the pit hollow; keep the skin one round taller and join with a round of sc through both layers.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the individual charts come from?
The maker collected public charts from several designers (each chart carries its author's watermark) and crocheted the set during late pregnancy — credits are preserved in each pattern's notes.
How many balls make the ring?
24 balls in 8 macaron colors, repeating 3 times, crocheted as one continuous chain of stuffed balls then joined into a circle.
Which charm is the trickiest?
The avocado — it uses short rows to hollow a dip for the pit and joins flesh and skin with a 69-sc round through both layers. The peach's shaping cinch is the other fiddly step.
