Do not FO. Place the pod bottom piece under the current piece, and work through both layers around the edge.
- sc, 3 ch, starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, work 2 sc in the back bumps, sc into the same stitch where you began the ch
- Continue making 1 sc in each of the remaining stitches around the edge.
- Lastly, sc, 3 ch, starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, work 2 sc in the back bumps, sc into the same stitch where you began the ch.
- FO.
Cut a strand of light green yarn about 3x the length of the pea pod. Thread a yarn needle and pass it through all 3 peas, sliding them to the center of the strand. Place the peas inside the pod.
Use the 2 yarn ends to secure them as follows:
- Make a few stitches at the “x” marked point, sewing through both layers.
- Then make 2-3 Whip Stitches alng the pod’s edge. FO and weave in the ends.
- Repeat on the other side.
The pears are now attached! You can roll them over to show the back. If you prefer the peas to stay loose so that they can be swapped around, skip threading them and just make Whip Stitches at both ends of the pod. For extra security, you can also sew each pea in place.
