Here are 11 fruit amigurumi free patterns that are super easy and quick to make!
This collection of crochet fruit has been designed as a set and all crochet patterns are available for free on my blog. Whether you’re looking for a great sustainable play food for your kid’s kitchen or a fun gift for a fruit lover, you’ll love these crochet patterns!
All amigurumi fruit free patterns were designed together, meaning that they are all realistic in size and therefore complement each other making a great crochet fruit set. All fruit crochet patterns are easy level, suitable for beginner crocheters, and are written in English in US terminology. You also don’t need a lot of crochet materials to make these fruit – always a plus!
I’m also continually adding to the crocheted fruit collection, so be sure to check back here for more crochet fruit updates or get in touch with me on social media and put in your fruity request! You can also put in a request for a video tutorial fruit pattern by commenting on my crochet fruit YouTube video where I share a little behind the scenes of each fruit pattern.
Last but not least, if you choose to make any of these crochet fruit, I’d love to see your makes and share them with the community! You can share photos with me on social using the hashtag #CillaCrochets and by tagging me @cillacrochets.
#1 Appetising Apple Free Crochet Pattern
The Appetising Apple is a free crochet pattern designed to look like a real apple. There is a wee bit of shaping involved, but don’t be turned off by this as it is clearly explained throughout the pattern. This amigurumi fruit has been super popular to make as a teacher’s gift. So if you’re on the lookout for something to make for a teacher, this amigurumi apple might be just the thing!
#2 Beaming Banana Free Crochet Pattern
The Beaming Banana was the most popular amigurumi fruit free pattern for such a long time. The peeled look and the realistic banana curve created by stitches alone (no pipe cleaners or shaping is needed!) are my favourite features of this design.
#3 Cheerful Cherries Free Crochet Pattern
These two crocheted cherries are a super quick make and minimal yarn is required. These were definitely made to look a little more cartoony than the rest of the fruit collection. My favourite part of this pattern is definitely the little curved leaf.
#4 Dragon Fruit Free Crochet Pattern
The Delicious Dragon Fruit crochet pattern was one of my favourites to design. It’s a super tricky fruit shape to mimic with crochet, but the result looks pretty realistic. The pink and green yarn was also a lot of fun to work with. I will warn you though, patience is required when making the dragon fruit’s spiky skin.
#5 Luscious Lemon Free Crochet Pattern
This juicy crocheted lemon is super easy and quick to make and it has officially thrown the banana and apple out of their number one popularity spots! My top tip when making this crocheted lemon is to focus on the stitch combinations, as they do change throughout to get that pointy lemon tip.
#6 Optimal Orange Free Crochet Pattern
This Optimal Orange free crochet pattern is a little smaller than the Appetising Apple, but also requires a little bit of additional shaping which is explained clearly throughout the pattern. It’s also an even simpler introduction to using a shaping technique in crochet, so if this is of interest, I would recommend starting here.
#7 Precious Pear Free Crochet Pattern
This Precious Pear is a more minimalist fruit to join the fruity amigurumi collection. It’s a super easy crocheted fruit to make, doesn’t use a whole lot of yarn – ideal for beginner amigurumi makers. This one is missing a leaf (on purpose!) so it doesn’t look too fake surrounded by other fruit with leaves (not every fruit always comes with a leaf). However, if you’d like to add one on, I recommend stealing the fruit leaf pattern from the Appetising Apple.
#8 Succulent Strawberries Free Crochet Pattern
Make not one, but two types of amigurumi Strawberries with this free crochet pattern. This pattern includes two different sized crocheted strawberries that you can choose between, or make multiple of if you’d like to crochet a handful. These are definitely the quickest of all the fruit crochet patterns listed to make and the result looks great. Fun fact – this was also my very first crochet pattern to design!
#9 Tender Tomato
This Tender Tomato was released in 2024 and joins the amigurumi fruit free pattern collection. This one is super quick and easy to make. I took inspiration for the tomato itself from the Optimal Orange and the leaves were actually inspired by my Hetty the Hen pattern.
#10 Lush Lime Free Crochet Pattern
Now if I were to make this Lush Lime again, I would definitely rethink the colours. But overall, I’m pretty happy with how this amigurumi fruit free pattern turned out! Quick and fun to make, and a very similar vibe to the Luscious Lemon.
#11 Glorious Grapefruit
Taking inspiration from the Optimal Orange, this Glorious Grapefruit is a much larger make but looks great when finished!
I hope you enjoy these free fruit crochet patterns! If you do decide to make any of the fruits listed, I’d absolutely love to see your makes. Simply post a photo on social using the hashtag #CillaCrochets and tag me @cillacrochets so I can share your pictures with the crochet community.
