Notes

Tiny green Junimo from Stardew Valley. The poster modified the leaf slightly from the original: (2-strand yarn) ch 5, sc from 2nd ch, 2 dc, sl st. 'w' = 3 sts in one stitch. Cinch top to bottom for the dented apple shape, then sew leaf on top and embroider the face.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get the apple dimple?

After closing through the front loops, thread the long tail straight through the ball top to bottom and pull until the top dents in.

Is the leaf hard?

No — it's a single ch-5 worked back with sc and dc on both sides; the poster's simplified version is ch 5, sc, 2 dc, sl st.
