Amigurumi Watermelon Wedges

Hi everyone! Today's free pattern is for amigurumi watermelon wedges! You might have noticed from some  previous posts across my blog and social media that I like watermelon...anyways, I am continuing with the theme, since watermelon are the epitome of summer fun and its getting further into the darker days of winter where I am. Warm weather vibes are really great right now, would you agree? (Depending on where you are reading from it might be warm, but watermelon is still nice.) 
100% not intentional, but the placement of the seeds could be a little face (now that I look at the pictures again); what does everyone else think?

Scroll down for the free pattern; if you would like, you can also purchase the PDF version as well via the Ravelry direction button below. The PDF is also available on my Ravelry, LoveCrafts, and Etsy stores (links available in the "shop" dropdown menu of my website).

Pattern Notes

• There are two pieces to the watermelon. Both pattern pieces are worked in the round then seamed. The main wedge and base are separate pieces; this allows the watermelon to stand. 
• Slip stitch at the beginning of each round to join. Unless otherwise stated, the slip stitch does not count as the first stitch. 
• US crochet terminology is used for the pattern. 
• Matching gauge is not important for this pattern. Simply keep a tight, even tension throughout.​

Finishing 
With the black embroidery thread or yarn, add seeds onto the watermelon wedge (I added three here, along the bottom). Alternately, you can omit this step and have seedless watermelon. Add the base to the bottom of the main wedge. It may be easiest to pin the base before sewing. Only sew through the outer bars of the last main wedge stitches and wedge base stitches. Weave in any remaining ends.

I hope you enjoyed this snowman! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the pattern, please feel free to contact me here.
