Materials

Abbreviations (US terms)

  • Magic ring - mr
  • Chain - ch
  • Single crochet - sc
  • Increase - inc
  • Decrease - dec

Notes

  1. Yarn Choices: You can use the yarn skeins I listed, but since the crochet peas use very little material, you can opt for scrap yarn if you prefer.
  2. Yarn Type: Any type of yarn will work for this pattern. The crochet pea pod is about 4 inches in length; using blanket or chunky yarn will create a larger plush.
  3. Adding a Face: I added a face to my pea pod, but feel free to skip this step if you prefer!

Instructions

  • Make x2

This pattern is made in rounds.

  • Round 1: Using the lighter green colored yarn, make a mr and then sc x6 into the mr (6).
  • Round 2: Inc in every sc (12).
  • Round 3: Inc, sc, then repeat until end of round (18).
  • Round 4: Inc, sc x2, then repeat until end of round (24).
  • Round 5-7: Sc in every stitch (24). Put in the safety eyes between rounds 5 and 6, 3 stitches apart.
  • Round 8: Dec, sc x2, then repeat for the entire round (18). Begin to stuff the ball.
  • Round 9: Dec, sc, then repeat for the entire round (12).
  • Round 10: Dec and then repeat for the entire round (6). Then fasten off and sew the ball shut.

Crochet Pea Pod:

  • This pattern starts off with a chain and is made in the round.
  • Round 1: With the darker green yarn, ch x13. In the second ch from the hook make a sc. Make a sc in the next 10 chains (11 sc total) Sc x3 in the last ch. Sc x10 on the unworked side of the ch.
  • Inc into the last chain, Sl st to the first sc you made. This is the only time you'll sl st (26).
  • Round 2: Sc x10, (inc) x3, sc x10, (inc) x3 (32).
  • Round 3: Sc x10, (inc, sc) x3, sc x10, (inc, sc) x3 (38).
  • Round 4: Sc x10, (inc, sc x2) x3, sc x10, (inc, sc x2) x3 (44).
  • Round 5-8: Sc in every stitch (44).
  • After the last round, fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Finishing:

  • Using your needle and yarn tail for sewing, sew the little ends of the pea pod closed so it creates a pea pod shape. Then add the peas to the pod and secure them by sewing them to the pea pod.
  • Do any embroidered embellishments to the peas at this time if you haven’t already.
  • And now you finished your crochet peas in a pod, a perfect little trinket to show someone you care about them.
