    Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing, and finish off.

    Using dark brown yarn, ch 4. Sl st in 2nd ch from hook. Sl st in last 2 chains. Cut yarn, leaving a tail for sewing, and finish off.

    Sew the stalk to the top of your pear, hiding the yarn ends inside.

    Stuff your pear so that it’s nice and squishy, then sew up the hole.

    For the face, sew the beads in place, using the top picture as a guide. The beads should be in line with the 9th round of the body, and about 5 stitches apart. Use black thread to embroider a tiny mouth.
