Fruit Slices Crochet Pattern | Dish Scrubber | Coaster

Fruit slice crochet is a fun project that can be used in many ways—coasters, amigurumi decorations, plush accents, or dish scrubbies. You can easily customize the size and texture by changing yarn types.

In the video tutorial, I use mini chenille yarn for clearer visibility. If you’re making a coaster or dish scrubbie, scrubbie yarn or cotton yarn works best.
