The Amigurumi Fruits Kit was designed as a didactic set to teach children about different fruits and to encourage pretend play. It’s inspired by Montessori educational values, which emphasise natural materials more than plastic. Designed by Luísa Caldeira Cabral (alanjahandmade) from Companhia das Agulhas, Portugal. The kit has 11 different fruit patterns and a basket to store them. Each fruit is made individually and constructed by crocheting different parts, which are later sewn together. The basket is created from the bottom to the top, with a centred double crochet stitch, which gives the basket more structure to maintain its shape.
