Bobbling for Apples! The Free Bobble Apple Basket Crochet Pattern

So… it’s happening! The Fall is coming, eventually.
Here where I live now in SoCal the weather is still dancing around between a 80° to 100° but I’m pretending that Fall is in the air. I’m going to get out some cinnamon candles and I’ve already watched Practical Magic once. If you’ve been following my blog or me on FB or IG you know that Fall is my favorite time  of the year. I just love all the scents, the foods, the festivities (apple festivals, anyone?), and, of course, Halloween. October is also my birth month so I’ve always felt a special connection to the Fall. This year, with all the ups and downs of my life, I’m really excited to dig into my favorite time of year so I’m not waiting any longer. Who’s ready to ride this heat wave into the Fall with me?
This week’s design is the first I’m going to be bringing to you that show off my undying love for Fall! And it’s also pretty good for those of you who love the Summer and don’t want to give it up yet (which I totally get, I hate when Christmas stuff starts replacing Fall in the stores). Apples are a safe and easy Fall design to start with, right? Who doesn’t love a crisp apple, any time of year? Probably people with allergies but luckily that’s not a concern here. Also, you might have noticed, I’m totally branching out here (no apple tree pun intended) and adding bobbles to my tapestry design! I did it with my Be Kind Wall-Hanging and I loved the look and the texture so much I had to use them again. I hope you love the effect here in this basket. I love how the apple, stem, and leaf really POP.
