Knitting Pattern PDF

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required. The crochet hook is to make chains, and no prior knowledge of crochet techniques is necessary. The cherry tomatoes are joined with a stem crafted from wire and yarn, which can be excluded if desired. The asparagus includes a skewer, and toy stuffing can be used as an alternative if preferred.
