Materials Needed:
- Crochet hook (size medium)
- Medium yarn in desired colors
- Scissors
- Darning needle
- Stuffing material
- Hot glue gun
Strawberry Body:
- Create a magic circle and chain one.
- Single crochet four into the magic circle.
- Pull the yarn to close the circle, and then slip stitch into the first stitch. Chain one, making sure it’s loose.
- Work two single crochets into the next stitch (increase), then one single crochet in the next, followed by an increase in the stitch after that.
- Slip stitch into the first chain from the previous row, then chain one.
- For the next rows, continue increasing by following the pattern: single crochet in each stitch with regular increases after a certain number of stitches, as per the shaping of the strawberry.
- After three rows of single crocheting without increases, begin decreasing by doing two single crochets followed by a decrease, then one single crochet and a decrease until the strawberry starts to close.
- Stuff the strawberry to your liking and shape it.
With a darning needle, weave through the front loops of the stitches to close the opening, and secure the yarn.
Leafy Top:
- Using green yarn, make a magic circle, chain one, and single crochet five into the magic circle.
- Pull on the yarn to close the circle, slip stitch into the first stitch, and chain four.
- Starting from the second chain from the hook, single crochet down, then slip stitch into the next stitch on the magic circle and repeat the leaf pattern.
- After making the required number of leaves (as the video describes), cut the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.
Flower:
- Create a magic circle with lighter yellow yarn and single crochet five into it. Close the circle and cut the yarn.
- For the petals, use white yarn. Chain one onto the yellow base, then make puffs by chaining three and completing the puff stitch pattern. Repeat until you have five puffs.
- Secure the puff stitches, tie the ends, and trim the excess yarn.
Assembly:
- Take the green leafy top and attach it to the strawberry by sewing it on.
- Attach the longest yarn through the center of the strawberry.
- Tie the yarn and secure it, using a hot glue gun for extra durability if desired.
- Sew the flower together, leaving a gap to attach the base later.
- Attach the base and leaves by gluing them with the hot glue gun.
- Finish off by weaving in any remaining ends with a darning needle and trimming the excess yarn.
Additional Details:
- Add dark yellow yarn seeds by sewing small stitches onto the strawberry body.
- Create a hanging loop by chaining 60 with green yarn.
