Even add a few buttons for eyes and the look of scales on the side to make it seem realistic.

Apple Cozy
Looking for a great way to take an apple with you? This pattern is great for beginners and experienced crocheters. I made it with a crochet hook size 3.5mm and scraps of Scheepjes Cotton Eight yarn. Any other yarn will do as well, as long as it is suitable for a crochet hook size 3.5mm. This cozy is also great for children, as it is a very cute way to make fruit more attractive.
Bobble Basketweave Bag
The Bobble Basketweave Bag is a fantastic bag that's big enough to store your current crochet project in! It will also make a super cute and elegant market bag for your lightweight purchases. The Bobble Basketweave Bag is made using a combination of special stitches to give the bag its unique look, texture, and name! While crocheting the Bobble Basketweave Bag, you'll learn how to crochet the Thermal Stitch, Bobble Stitch, Basketweave Stitch, and Waistcoat Stitch. This will be a project that will keep your interest!
My Go To Bag
Straps 26 inches long and 2 inches wide Bag 17 inches long by 15 inches wide when measured on a flat surface Handle Drop 14 inches My Go To Bag is my practical, everyday crocheted bag. I wanted a bag I could use for everything - from beach bag to book bag - a single crocheted base gives this bag extra support - the first few rounds are crocheted in double crochet and then the main bag is worked up in an easy to work granny stitch stripe pattern. I chose to make my straps slightly wider than most bags because when you fill the bag and the straps stretch, they will remain comfortable on your shoulders. If you would like to have a narrower strap, it is very easy to change the width of the strap. Simply add one extra decrease repeat of: Sc2tog, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, sc2tog. Ch 1, turn. 4 in place of R11 of the straps and for R80 work: 2 sc in the first st, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, 2 sc in the last st, ch 1, turn. 6. Have fun making this simple, attractive and practical Go To Bag! You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern - just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size of your project will also be different.
Native Sun Square Bag
I have really been wanting to make this bag for a long time. I absolutely love crocheting bags! I have made several bags over the years, such as the super popular Gradient Blocks Handbag, Monhegan Beach Tote, and Splish Splash Mini Tote. Originally I thought I would expand the square to 12″, because that was about the size I wanted the bag to be, but once I got started I thought of how cute it would be to have four squares together instead. I'm so glad I made it this way! It's fantastic!
