Introduction: Crochet Amigurumi Three Peas in a Pod
This Amigurumi Peas in a Pod pattern is from Lion Brand www.lionbrand.com/patterns/80308AD.html I did not make the hat, veil or flowers. What I added to the pattern was a bow and a baby pea, to the pod I added a stem. I do sell my own patterns on my etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/yarnabees
Step 1: Getting Started
What you need is:
the pattern www.lionbrand.com/patterns/80308AD.html
I Love This Yarn in the colors of Olive and Lime
Red, Black and Pink Yarn (you only need a small amount of these colors)
Crochet Hook - Size G-6
Stitch markers
7.5mm Safety Eyes (you can get these online at: www.etsy.com/shop/6060 )
Fiberfill Stuffing aka: Polyfill
size 8 Double Pointed Knitting Needles
The Crochet stitches you will need to know are listed at the bottom of the pattern. As for the Bow and Stem of the Pea Pod you will need to know how to Knit in the Stockinette stitches and you will need to know how to make an I-cord. I have found Lion Brand very helpful in learning new stitches just go to learntoknit.lionbrand.com/ and type in the stitch you are having trouble with and you will find the answer there. They even have Videos!

Step 2: Knit the Bow First
Using Red yarn Cast on 7 stitches
Rows 1-7: Work Stockinette Stitch beginning with knit one (right side row) and purl one (wrong side) row ending on the purl row. Cut the Red yarn leaving a tail around 4 inches to later use to sew the fold. Row 8-17 at the beginning of row 8 change to the Pink yarn and continue the Stockinette stitch ending on a purl row cut the pink yarn.
Change to the Red yarn and work the same pattern as rows 1-7 remember to bind off on the purl side leave a tail around 4 inches to sew the fold. Fold the bow on the ends to give the bow a cleaner edge.
Use the pictures as a guide on how to fold the ends of the bow and sew. Cut a piece of red yarn 12 inches long you will use this to wind around the center of the bow make sure you leave both ends long enough to tie the bow and secure it to the top of the pea's head. Use the pictures as a guide.
