These pear and apple poufs are sure to make an impact. What a charming addition to your nursery or special toy for your little one to cuddle. I adore the shift in scale achieved with giant crochet stitches! Learning to hand crochet is easy and fast! You’re going to be amazed by how hand crochet changes the way you look at amigurumi. When you crochet with your hand instead of a hook, you can transform your favorite patterns into life-size versions. Plus, because you are working on a giant scale, these poufs can be made in an afternoon.
