My basket of Fruit and Vegetables includes a tomato, carrot, apple, pear, orange, pea pod, and a basket to carry them in. The sizes of the fruit and vegetables vary between 3.5 cm and 10 cm, and the basket is 11 cm long and 4 cm tall. Most pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight single-pointed knitting needles. The stalks and basket handles which are i-cord tubes knitted on two double pointed needles (DPNs). You will also need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases and decreases, and sew seams.
