Notes
Crochet Tips:
1. When working on the apple body, use a slightly tighter tension for the red or green sections compared to the background. This will help the apple motif stand out and create a subtle 3D effect, making your design more eye-catching.
2. For added realism, consider using a textured stitch like the popcorn or bobble stitch for some rounds of the apple. This can create the appearance of a slightly bumpy apple skin, enhancing the overall look of your square.
