Crochet Cherry Goodness :)

Here is my crochet pattern for crochet cherries...

cherries (make 2):

red yarn (i used sugar n creme cotton in red)

using the magic ring method, 6 sc into ring (6 sc)2sc into each sc (12sc) finish off

stems:

darker green (i used rhss but i can not recall the exact color)

attach to a sc in the top row of one of the cherries, chain 16, attach to a sc in the top row of the other cherry

leaves :

lighter green (i used rhss but can't recall the exact color for this either)*ch 8, sc into 2nd chain from hook, sc into next chain, 2 sc into each of the next 2 chains, sc into next sc, 3 sc into last ch.

(Now you're going to single chain into the other side of the chain that you just did the sc's into, so you're kind of going around in a circle or rectangle. )

sc into next sc, 2 sc into each of the next 2 sc's, sc in next sc, 2 scs into last one (since there's already one there)*, chain one.

from there, take the cherries with the stem attached. slip stitch into the 8th and 9th chain on the stem from one of the cherries then chain one, and repeat from * to * and finish off.

a variation to the leaves could be making one double chain instead of two single chains
