Instructions:
Starting the Strawberry:
- Magic Circle:
- Use the red yarn to make a magic circle:
- Wrap yarn over your finger, insert the hook under, pull through, yarn over, and pull through again.
- Remove from your finger and start working into the circle.
- Use the red yarn to make a magic circle:
- Round 1:
- Chain one (does not count as a stitch).
- Make six single crochets (sc) into the magic circle.
- Pull to close the circle.
- Round 2:
- Place a stitch marker on the last stitch.
- Increase in each stitch around (two sc in each st) – 12 stitches in total.
- Round 3:
- One sc in each stitch around – maintain 12 stitches.
- Round 4:
- One sc in the next three stitches, then increase in the next (repeat) – ends with 15 stitches.
- Round 5:
- One sc in each stitch around – maintain 15 stitches.
- Round 6:
- One sc in the next four stitches, then increase in the next (repeat) – ends with 18 stitches.
- Round 7:
- One sc in the next two stitches, then increase in the next (repeat this six times) – ends with 24 stitches.
- Rounds 8 and 9:
- One sc in each stitch around – keep the count at 24.
Chocolate-Dipped Version:
- For a chocolate-dipped version, use brown yarn for the first 8 rounds.
- On the last stitch of round 8, change to red yarn and complete the stitch in red.
- Round 9: Work in the back loops only using the red yarn for single crochets.
- Continue with the red for the subsequent rounds.
Adding Safety Eyes:
- Insert between rounds 6 and 7.
- Place them three stitches apart.
Decreasing:
- Round 10:
- Make one sc in the next two stitches, then an invisible decrease (work on the front loops only).
- Continue this sequence around – ends with 18 stitches.
- Round 11:
- One sc in the next stitch, then an invisible decrease.
- Repeat this sequence – ends with 12 stitches.
- Round 12:
- Invisible decrease in every stitch around – ends with 6 stitches.
Finishing:
- Stuff the body lightly.
- Fasten off yarn, leaving a long tail.
- Weave the tail through the front loops of the last round and pull to close.
Green Leaves:
- Magic Circle:
- Chain one, then make six sc into the circle.
- Slip stitch to join.
- Leaves:
- For each leaf: Chain four, slip stitch in second chain from hook, sc in the next two chains, slip stitch into the next sc.
- Repeat for a total of six leaves.
- Slip stitch to finish, fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.
Attaching Leaves:
