Pear Knitting Pattern Tutorial

Pears anyone??
This is my second fruit so far, the knitted pear… I think he looks all peary shaped… I knitted him up this afternoon with a little waste yarn. He is quite a sturdy fellow…
Happy knitting:) 

Materials:
Some green or brown or any pear colour you can think of, I have used spring green hand spun.
Brown yarn for the stalk
4mm circular needles if using Magic Loop and DPNs’ if knitting in the round.
Wool needle for sewing in ends.
Fleece for stuffing

Pattern:
Cast on 6 stitches and join for knitting in the round.
Round 1: Knit
Round 2: Knit into the front and back of each stitch. (12 stitches)
Round 3: Knit
Round 4: Knit into the front and back of each stitch. (24 stitches)

Round 5: Knit
Round 6: Increase 6 stitches evenly throughout the round. (30 stitches)
Rounds 7-12: Knit
Round 13: (Knit 1 stitch, knit 2 stitches together) repeat brackets across round. (20 stitches)
Round 14: Knit
Round 15: (Knit 1 stitch, knit 2 stitches together) repeat brackets across round, knit 2 stitches on the end. (14 stitches)

Round16: Knit
Round 17: (Knit 1 stitch, knit 2 stitches together) repeat brackets across round, knit 2 stitches on the end. (10 stitches)
Rounds 18-24: Knit
Round 25: (Knit 2 stitches together, knit 1 stitch) repeat brackets across round and knit 2 stitches on the end of the row. (7 stitches)

See below for finishing instructions.

Stuff your pear with fleece until firm while still on the needles.

Break yarn and thread onto the wool needle. Pick up the stitches off the needles onto the wool needle and pull tight. Finish off.

Sew in the ends at the base of the pear. Pick up two stitches with the double pointed needles and attach the brown yarn for the stalk. Knit an i-cord for about an inch and then bind off.

You are finished!
