Crochet Strawberry And Flower Granny Square
Simple to make yet visually striking, this project is suitable for crafters at all skill levels. By linking one square to another, you can fashion anything from snug throws to lively table decor or even decorative hangings for your walls.
Each stitch brings forth the beauty of nature, culminating in a personal work of art. It's an uncomplicated and rewarding craft that adds an inviting touch of handmade charm to your living space.
Strawberry Applique
- Magic Circle: Make a magic circle (or chain 4 with a slip stitch to form a ring).
- Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Make 11 more double crochets into the circle. Pull on the tail to tighten and form your circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3.
Round 2: Chain 1 for wiggle room. Start forming the strawberry shape:
- Half double crochet into the first stitch.
- Four double crochets in the next stitch.
- A half double crochet and a single crochet in the next stitch.
- One single crochet in the next two stitches each.
- Half double crochet and a double crochet in the next stitch to form the point.
- Double crochet and a half double crochet in the next stitch.
- Two single crochets in the following two stitches each.
- Four double crochets in the next stitch.
- A half double crochet in the last stitch to complete the strawberry shape.
Round 3 (Optional for a bigger strawberry): Add single crochets all around, placing increases (two single crochets) on the points.
Leaves for Strawberry
First Leaf: Start with a chain 6.
- Skip the first chain. Single crochet in the second chain.
- Half double crochet in the next chain.
- Double crochet in the next chain.
- Half double and then single crochet in the final chain.
Repeat the leaf-making process to create two more leaves as desired, adjusting the chain length for size variation.
Flower Center
- Magic Circle: Create a magic circle and make 12 single crochets into the ring. Close with a slip stitch.
Flower Petals
Round 1: Create six petals by attaching yarn to the single crochet base with a slip stitch, then chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
- Add three more double crochets in the same stitch to form a petal.
- Chain 3 and finish petal with a slip stitch in the same stitch.
- Slip stitch into the next stitch.
- Repeat to make a total of six petals, skipping a stitch between each petal.
Solid Granny Square
Round 1: Make a magic circle or chain 4 ring.
- Begin with three chains (counts as first double crochet).
- Make sets of three double crochets, separated by treble crochet corners.
Subsequent Rounds: Work double crochets along each side and five stitches (two double crochets, one treble crochet, two double crochets) in each corner, using a stitch marker to denote the treble crochet of each corner.
Final Touches
- After completing the desired number of rounds for the granny square (stopping after four according to the script), add a single crochet border around the square.
- Attach applique elements (strawberry and leaves) to the granny square using the tails or matching yarn, sewing close to the edge for a camouflaged finish.
