🍐 Pear Body (worked bottom-up)
With light green yarn:
R1: MR, 6 sc (6)
R2: inc ×6 (12)
R3: (1 sc, inc) ×6 (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc) ×6 (24)
R5: (3 sc, inc) ×6 (30)
R6: (4 sc, inc) ×6 (36)
R7–13: sc around (36)
📍 This forms the wide, round base.

R15: (4 sc, dec) ×6 (25)
R16: (3 sc, dec) ×5 (20)
R17–19: sc around (20)
📍 Now we’re shaping the upper taper — keep stuffing as you go, pressing firmly at the bottom for roundness.
R20: (3 sc, inc) ×5 (25)
R21: (4 sc, inc) ×5 (30)
📍 These two rounds widen the body slightly for the midsection bulge.
R22: (4 sc, dec) ×5 (25)
R23: (3 sc, dec) ×5 (20)
R24: (2 sc, dec) ×5 (15)
R25: (1 sc, dec) ×5 (10)
Stuff firmly.
R26: dec ×5 (5)
FO, weave tail through remaining sts and pull tight to close.
📍 The pear should stand upright and have a soft bottom bulge, with a gentle slope toward the top (not too pointy).
🌿 Stem
With brown yarn:
R1: MR, 5 sc (5)
R2–6: sc around (5)
Stuff lightly for firmness.
FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
📍 Stem height should be around 1 inch (2.5 cm) — short and stubby, matching the photo.
🍃 Leaf
With dark green yarn:
R1: ch 7
R2: sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next, dc ×3, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in last ch.
Work down the other side: dc ×3, hdc, sc, sl st in first sc.
FO, leaving a tail.
Flatten slightly and shape with your fingers to create a natural curve.
📍 The leaf should look oval, not long or pointy. Attach it at the side of the stem base at a slight upward angle.
😄 Face
- Insert safety eyes between Rounds 17–18, about 6 stitches apart.
- Embroider a small, gentle curved smile 1 round below the eyes using black thread.
- No blush or extra embroidery needed — the simplicity is the charm!
📍 Tip: If using thick yarn, smaller eyes (6 mm) help maintain proportion.
🪡 Assembly
1️⃣ Sew stem to the top center of the pear.
2️⃣ Attach leaf to the side of the stem base, pointing diagonally outward.
3️⃣ Adjust stuffing and gently roll the pear between your hands to smooth the shape.
