Give peas a chance!  These three peas in a pod are a fun knit to use up any odds and ends of green yarn.

Peas are botanically a fruit, but commonly referred to as a vegetable.  Knitted veggies are super toys to encourage little ones to eat their veg: peas are rich in fibre, protein, vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin C.

My knitted veggies are worked flat on straight knitting needles, but the pea pieces could easily be converted to knitting in the round if that is your preference.
