Watermelon Slice Mini Crochet Pattern
These mini watermelon slices are so quick and easy to make. You’ll start with a green oval for the base, then use decreases to make the triangle shape. Finish off by sewing on some black seeds and a cute little face.
These mini amigurumi watermelons make cute little gifts or decorations, and you can sew a keychain on top to make them functional too!
