Crocheting the Strawberry

Base (Red Part)

Start with a Magic Ring:

• Make a magic ring.
• Chain 2 (counts as the first half double crochet).
• Work four half double crochet (HDC) cluster into the ring.
• Pull the ring close.
• Chain 1.

First Round:

• Work a total of four HDC clusters into the magic ring.
• Slip stitch (sl st) into the first chain to join.

Second Round:

• Chain 2.
• In the same gap as chain 2, work four HDC clusters.
• Repeat the four HDC clusters in the same gap again.

Continue Increasing:

Increase:

• Work two HDC clusters in every gap around.
• Slip stitch into the first chain of the beginning of this round.

Next Rounds:

• Continue working a pattern of increases as established until your strawberry has reached the desired size.
• Typically, this involves placing even increases in each subsequent round.

Finalizing the basic shape:

• Work a round of slip stitches to smooth out the shape.
• Fasten off the red yarn.

Leaves (Green Part)

Start:

• Attach green yarn with a slip knot.
• Chain 1.

Leaf Making:

• Chain 5.
• Work a single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook.
• One half double crochet (hdc) in the next chain.
• One double crochet (dc) in the next chain.
• Finish with an hdc in the last chain.
• Slip stitch into the next stitch on the red base.

Repeated Leaf Creation:

• Repeat the leaf making process six times around the top of the strawberry to create more leaves.

Final Touches:

• You can optionally use glue or needle and thread to secure the leaves to the strawberry more firmly.

Finishing Steps:

• Weave in any loose ends.
• Fix any parts where yarn may have loosened or showing gaps.
