1. Materials List ​Yarns: ​Red amigurumi yarn (for the main body and exterior) ​Cream or white yarn (for the inner membrane/partitions of the pomegranate) ​Mustard yellow / brown tones yarn (for the top crown part) ​Dark green yarn (for the leaf) ​Crochet Hook: Appropriate size for your yarn (typically 2.0 mm or 2.2 mm) ​Beads: Dark red / maroon, transparent, glossy, and slightly faceted round beads (for the pomegranate seed look) ​Sewing Needle and Strong Thread / Fishing Line (to secure the beads and parts) ​Fiberfill Stuffing (a small amount to maintain the body's shape) ​Scissors and Pins ​2. Detailed Part-by-Part Instructions and Stitch Counts ​A. Main Body (Red Exterior - Spherical Form) ​The outer surface of the pomegranate has a slightly rounded, single crochet (sc) structure, typically starting with a magic ring, worked into a spherical shape with a sliced opening cut or shaped in the front. ​Round 1: 6 single crochets (sc) in a magic ring (Total: 6 stitches) ​Round 2: Increase in every stitch (6 \times 2) \rightarrow (Total: 12 stitches) ​Round 3: (1 sc, 1 increase) repeat 6 times \rightarrow (Total: 18 stitches) ​Round 4: (2 sc, 1 increase) repeat 6 times \rightarrow (Total: 24 stitches) ​Round 5: (3 sc, 1 increase) repeat 6 times \rightarrow (Total: 30 stitches) ​Round 6: (4 sc, 1 increase) repeat 6 times \rightarrow (Total: 36 stitches) ​Round 7: (5 sc, 1 increase) repeat 6 times \rightarrow (Total: 42 stitches) ​Round 8: (6 sc, 1 increase) repeat 6 times \rightarrow (Total: 48 stitches) ​Rounds 9 - 16: Work 1 sc in each stitch without increasing or decreasing (48 sc). ​Round 17: (6 sc, 1 decrease) repeat 6 times \rightarrow (Total: 42 stitches) ​(For the "sliced" opening in the front as seen in the image, you can work back and forth leaving an opening, or crochet a full sphere and frame the cut section with white inner texture. The most practical and clean look is to complete the sphere and edge the carved area with a white strip).

B. Inner White Membranes (Cream / White Yarn) ​These are the white walls/partitions that line the cut slice and divide the seeds inside. ​Frame Strip: Start with cream yarn by making a chain. Work a strip of single crochet long enough to wrap completely around the cut circular opening (e.g., chain 40-50 and work 2-3 rows of sc). ​Inner Dividers: For the thin white strips separating the interior into wedge segments, chain about 15-20 and fill them with single crochets. These will be sewn inside between the seeds in a cross or star-branch pattern. ​C. Top Crown Part (Mustard / Yellow Yarn) ​The star-shaped crown petals on top of the pomegranate: ​Start with 6 sc in a magic ring. ​In the round 2, increase in every stitch to reach 12 stitches. ​In round 3, work each pointed tip individually to form the crown petals: (Chain 3, turn and work stitches back down into the chain, and anchor to the base stitch) repeating this to create 5-6 pointy teeth-like crown petals. ​D. Green Leaf ​Row 1: Start by chaining 10. ​Row 2: Working from the second chain back toward the center: 1 sc, 1 half double crochet (hdc), 3 double crochets (dc), 1 hdc, 1 sc. At the tip, work 2-3 sc into the same space to turn, and repeat the symmetrical sequence down the other side of the leaf (sc, hdc, double crochets...). To give a prominent central vein look, you can surface slip-stitch down the middle.

​3. Assembly and Beading Steps ​Completing the Body: Lightly stuff the main red body with fiberfill to give it form. Open up the carved section in the front. ​Placing the White Membranes: Pin the cream-colored frame strip carefully along the edges of the red opening and secure it with tiny invisible stitches. Position the internal thin white divider strips inside to partition the slices and sew them down by their ends. ​Sewing the Beads (Pomegranate Seeds): ​Place the transparent red beads one by one, or pre-strung, inside the spaces created by the white membranes. ​Using a strong sewing thread (or fishing line), firmly anchor the beads to the base crochet fabric. Layer some beads on top of each other and leave some single for a natural look. Continue adding beads until the interior looks full and rich. ​Attaching the Crown and Leaf: ​Sew the prepared mustard-yellow crown petals to the top center of the pomegranate. ​Attach the green leaf at a slight angle right next to the crown to complete your project.
