6. Begin decreasing evenly until you reach 12 sc (decrease in every other stitch).
7. Stuff the pear with fiberfill until it is firm but not overly stuffed.
8. Continue to decrease until the opening is closed. Fasten off and weave in the end.
9. Using brown yarn, create a small stem by making a few sc in a small piece and attach it to the top of the pear.
10. For the leaf, make a small green piece using sc and sew it onto the stem.
