I love pomegranates, i’m actually addicted to them visually, symbolically and taste-wise.

In regions that they grow, including Cyprus (where I live) they symbolize prosperity and fertility and are often given as wedding favours. In China it is also a very common symbol for wishing the new year to be a ‘fruitful’ one.

This is a PDF pattern with which you can make a quick Pomegranate for yourself or as a present to the loved ones.
