I was a ripe 22-years old when I ate my first pomegranate, being prompted by the middle-school-aged children I nannied for, but I wasn’t quite sold on the enjoyability factor of dealing with the fruit. They’re difficult! And there is a much easier option in the form of POM Wonderful, of course. Years later, I decided to design a crochet version after comparing someone special to the very fruit–difficult, frustrating at times, but worth it when you finally got inside. A learning process, albeit a painstaking one.
Ironically, soon after I made the comparison, one of my best girlfriends randomly bought me a pomegranate and when I went to eat it, I nearly cut my finger when slicing through, the pulp was tough, the seeds too chewy, and the red juice sprayed all over my computer and clothes. I ended up throwing it all away out of frustration and reconsidering my whole “it’s worth it” theory. Hmm. Nonetheless, here’s my crochet pattern for the pomegranate seen above, made with a really soft acrylic-alpaca blend:
