These are great for lunchboxes and backpacks! I have homeschooled my kids for about 4 years now, but I am sending them to a charter school this year. Uniforms and sack lunches! Yay! (Haha) Since kids tend to be rough with their backpacks, they often end up with bruised fruit at lunch. This cuts down on that significantly! Plus, it's cute! ;) I made these up in about 15 minutes - and that includes writing the pattern and getting my daughter a drink. SUPER fast!

Cotton Yarn
H Hook
Yarn Needle

Using blunt yarn needle and long piece of yarn, weave yarn under both loops of sc stitches, beginning with needle going from outside to inside of apple cover on first stitch, then inside to outside on next stitch. Repeat this all the way around. Leave a long tail to use to tie up when an apple is inside.
