Flesh of Fruit (Make 2)

RND 1: With cream yarn, 4 SC in magic loop, sl st to close.

Switch to lemon yellow yarn.

RND 2: CH 1, 2 SC in each st around, sl st to close (8 sts)

RND 3: CH 1, *SC 1, 2 SC in next st* rep 4 times, sl st to close (12 sts)

RND 4: CH 1, *SC 2, 2 SC in next st* rep 4 times, sl st to close (16 sts)

RND 5: CH 1, *SC 3, 2 SC in next st* rep 4 times, sl st to close (20 sts)

RND 6: CH 1, *SC 4, 2 SC in next st* rep 4 times, sl st to close (24 sts)

This is where it gets a little fuzzy for me. You might have to eyeball what's going to fit. If you make the flesh and it's too small, then just keep increasing until it's the right size. If it's too big, rip out a round! It's easy to fix no matter what.

Switch back to cream yarn

RND 7: CH 1, *SC 5, 2 SC in next st* rep 4 times, sl st to close (28 sts)

Bind off, embroider sections of fruit with cream yarn. Attach magnets to underside if desired by sewing in tightly. Attach to rind and sew 3/4 of the way around, stuff, then finish sewing shut. Weave in ends.
