Annurca Crochet Apple

I crocheted this red apples myself by using high quality italian yarn and with a pattern that I created myself inspired by the ANNURCA apple that is a local small apples typical from the Sorrento area and that has been rediscoved again lately. Intesting is that this is an ancient variety of apple and can even be recognised in some Pompeiian frescoes at the Casa dei Cervi in Herculaneum.
