UPDATE: New download has been made available for the written pattern for Row 9. The color pattern below the written pattern is correct.

Super fast pattern. Can be made in a couple of hours.

The base pattern is based off the “Ideal Sphere” by Ms Premise-Conclusion.

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds. Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark your place. It is best to watch how your colors appear as you work so that connecting stitches look appropriate.

Hook Size depends on desired final size. F/3.75mm gave me aprox 3in/7cm diameter cozy that is good for a small apple like Pink Lady. H/5mm gave me a 3.5in/9cm in diameter that would be better for a larger apple like a Red Delicious.
