This cute Happy pears pattern is my own design, when finished they measure’s approx 5” tall ( when using recommended yarn and hook )
the pattern for the tiny 2” pears is also included.

The pattern is very straight forward I recommend it as a beginner pattern. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow if you know the basic stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi . The PDF file includes lots of pictures to help you along. Written using U.S crochet terms.
You will need:
50g ball of Aran/worsted weight yarn in a colour of your choice
(I used drops, love you 5 recycled cotton)
A Very small amount of a contrasting colour for the cheeks and leaf. Preferably a thinner yarn such as d.k/light worsted or 4ply
A tiny amount of brown yarn for the stalk.
A tiny amount of red/pink yarn for the smile
3mm crochet hook
toy stuffing
9mm safety eyes (for the larger pear)
6mm saftey eyes (for the tiny pear)
