Making The Amigurumi Bunch Of Grapes
Supplies:
- Green yarn (for the stem)
- Yarn for the grapes (color of your choice)
- Stuffing
- Scissors
- Crochet hook (2 millimeter suggested)
- Stitch marker
- Tapestry needle
- Forceps or tweezers for stuffing (optional, but useful)
Grape Pattern (Make approximately 20 grapes):
Row 1:
- Create a magic circle.
- Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic circle.
- Place a stitch marker on the last stitch.
Row 2: (Increase Round)
- Work 2 sc in each stitch around (you will have 12 sc).
- Place the stitch marker at the end of the round to mark the last stitch.
Rows 3 to 6:
- Work 1 sc in each stitch around (12 sc per row).
- Keep tension tight, and push work in the right direction (right side out).
Row 7: (Decrease Round)
- Start to decrease by picking up the front loop of the next stitch and the front loop of the following stitch, yarn over and pull through both loops, then finish the stitch (sc decrease).
- Continue decreasing around until you have closed the hole.
- Leave a tail of yarn for sewing and fasten off.
Stuffing the Grapes:
- Stuff each grape firmly.
Closing the Grape:
- Use the yarn tail and tapestry needle to weave through the front loops of the last row to close the opening.
- Secure the tail and weave in the end.
Assembling the Bunch of Grapes:
- Cut a long length of yarn (to avoid having joins) and tie a knot at one end.
- Start sewing the grapes together, beginning with a group of 3 or 4 at the bottom and building upwards in a pyramid shape.
- If grapes aren't staying put, slightly "nick" them into place with the needle to secure them.
- Continue layering until you reach the desired fullness for the bunch.
- Weave the yarn back down through the grapes to secure them and hide the end inside a grape.
Creating the Stem:
- Begin with a slip knot.
- Chain 15.
- Starting from the second chain from the hook, slip stitch back down the chain (this will naturally start to curl like a vine).
- Knot the ends together and secure the stem to the top of the bunch.
Final Touches:
- Adjust the placement of the stem and secure it by concealing the knots within the grapes.
- Trim any excess yarn and ensure everything is secure.
