But this was quite different from my usual plant and animal projects! Tea parties and imaginary shopping trips are timeless activities that we all have taken pleasure in sharing with our children, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren. What could be more gratifying than offering them a basket of fruits and vegetables that you crocheted yourself! By creating these designs, I was aiming for a result that was cute, colorful, and realistic, with sizes adapted to children. I also wanted to make it possible to put together a cute basket without having to devote months to the crochet work, and to place that basket in your kitchen or on your dining room table as a fun decoration. With just a few exceptions, the designs in this book are fairly quick to completewith an eye-catching result! In these pages you will find twenty fruit and vegetable projects (twenty-four, including the variations). I hope that you enjoy crocheting them and offering them to your family and friendsor keep them for yourself!
