Free pattern: Apple softie

Amy at Positively Splendid shares a free pattern for making this apple softie. There’s a pocket across the front that can hold a note and maybe a small gift. How about some packets of apple cider mix? It would also make a fun autumn accent in your home décor. It could sit on a mantel or side table, or even be used as a focal accent on a fall wreath.
