Tips

Work in continuous spiral rounds and move your stitch marker up every round.
Count your stitches at the end of each round; the number in brackets is what you should have.
Use a hook a size smaller than your yarn label suggests, so the stuffing doesn't show.

Assembly

Stuff the Apple firmly before closing it. The magic ring end of the Apple is its top.
Embroider the small round patch around the top where the stem sits on the apple around Rnds 1-2 with colour B. Filled in with satin stitch, so the drips start from it.
Embroider the three lime-green drips in chain stitch on the apple around Rnds 3-7 with colour B. Starting at the edge of the top patch and running straight down the side, across the front of the apple about 5 sts apart, of different lengths (3, 4 and 5 rounds).
Sew the stem to the apple at Rnd 1. Standing straight up out of the centre of the top patch.
Sew the leaf to the apple at Rnd 4. Pinch two opposite sides of the circle into points first, so it is leaf shaped; sew it beside the stem, pointing up and out.
Thread a length of colour C through the top of the Stem and tie into a hanging loop.
Weave in all ends.
