- This happy pear is worked in rounds. It's really a wonderful design - you can create smaller or larger pears that would make great coasters, doilies, or wall art.
- If you like to make the same pattern, adding pears in different colours is a great way to create small changes. This pear design can be worked in any green, yellow, and white colour.
