About this design

The slice is a half-ellipse: coral flesh at the top, then a thin band of Mint for the pale inner rind, a band of Kelly Green and a dark Forest green outer skin. Eight Black seeds, each two blocks tall, are scattered through the flesh in a loose arch. The rest of the graph is Cream, so the fruit stands out boldly. It is a cheerful summer project for a pillow, a picnic blanket centre or a wall hanging, and the simple shapes make it suitable for a confident beginner.

Size and yarn

The graph is 40 × 30 blocks and is worked in 69 diagonal rows from the bottom-right corner. With 2.5 cm blocks (worsted yarn and a 5 mm hook) it measures about 100 × 75 cm; with 2 cm blocks in DK yarn it is about 80 × 60 cm. The largest colour is Cream, with 564 of the 1,200 blocks. The colours are our own named shades, so choose the closest yarn you can buy, and weigh a ten-block swatch to turn the block counts into an accurate yarn amount. The seeds are small; carry a short length of black yarn for each rather than one long strand.

Colour plan

Cream does the most work, 47% of the 1,200 blocks, followed by Coral at 34%. Every colour is used at least 16 times, so there are no tiny one-off details to hunt for. Every square of the grid is filled.

Working notes

It is worked as 69 diagonal rows; the busiest changes colour 11 times. 6 squares stand alone in their colour, with no same-coloured neighbour along a side: cut a short length of yarn for those instead of carrying it.
