Adorable Fruits and Vegetables to Crochet: Delicious Decorations for Your Table is a fun book to have for all crochet enthusiasts in all skill levels. We can add some zest to our kitchen décor with these fun-to-make crocheted ornaments. This book with 24 appealing projects include a banana, complete with a crocheted "skin" that allows us to peel and remove the fruit; a full lemon and one that's cut in half; a pea pod, complete with little removable peas; and other charming fruits and vegetables.

Each project features detailed instructions and is accompanied with colour photos of the finished item. There are suggestions for appropriate types of yarn, stuffing, and other materials as well as the best hooks, needles, and other tools; notes on assembly and finishing touches; and estimates for how long each project takes to complete (most can be crocheted in less than an hour). These cute little crocheted ornaments will make charming, unusual gifts for friends and family.
We tried our hand at making beeswax candle, check the below video.
