How-to Step by Step :
1. Center the Kiwi :
Create a magic ring with six single crochet stitches using green yarn. Increase under one direction in a spiral until you’ve got a flat circle. To form a core, add a few rounds of white yarn.
2. Add the Kiwi Flesh :
Using green yarn, continue crocheting, evenly increasing until it reaches the desired size. Thread a yarn needle with black thread to make small “seeds” by sewing spaced out little dots.
3. Make the Kiwi Skin :
Go with the brown yarn and crochet in rounds without increasing to make the outer skin. It should curve a little just to encase the green section.
4. Building the Kiwi :
Pack the kiwi sparsely with fiberfill to have that plump and true-to-life shape. Closure will then be done by weaving in ends and pulling tight.
