Materials Needed:

• Crochet hook
• Yarn in strawberry and leaf colors
• Scissors
• Needle (for tucking in any loose ends)
• Glue (optional)

Strawberry Body:

Start with a Magic Ring:

Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop, insert the hook through the loop, secure with a slip stitch, and pull tight.

Round 1:

Chain 2 (acts as the first double crochet).

Make 11 double crochets into the magic ring.

Slip stitch to the first chain to close the round.

Round 2:

Chain 2.

Make two single crochets in each stitch around (you'll double the number of stitches).

Complete the round and slip stitch to the first chain.

For Round 3:

Chain 2.

Alternate between one double crochet in the next stitch and two double crochets in the following stitch around the circle (increasing every other stitch).

Complete the round and slip stitch to the first chain.

Round 4:

Chain 1.

In the same space, make a single crochet.

Make a half double crochet and a double crochet in the next stitch.

Create two double crochets together in the next stitch repeat around the circle to form points that resemble the top of a strawberry.

Continue until you have five pointed shapes (petals).

In between each petal shape, include regular stitches to maintain the circle's shape:

Double crochet, half double crochet, and single crochet until the next petal point begins.

Strawberry Top:

Repeat the pattern described in Round 4, excluding the final three double crochets.

Follow with a round of double crochet, half double crochet, followed by a series of single crochets and double crochets to mirror the existing pattern.

Complete with a slip stitch.

Leaves:

Start with a new Magic Ring:

Chain 8.

Leaf Formation:

Start from the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet.

In the next chain, make a half double crochet, followed by three double crochets, one in each of the next three chains.

Finish with a half double crochet and a single crochet in the last chain.

Slip stitch into the magic ring.

Repeat this process for a total of three leaves.

Finishing the Leaves:

Chain 6, and start from the second chain; crochet back down the chain with a series of single crochets.

Attach this leaf chain to the main body with a slip stitch.

Cut the yarn, and use a needle to weave in the ends.

Assembly:

Attach the leaves to the strawberry top using either crochet methods or a dab of glue for extra hold.

Optionally, create other details or additional decorative elements using white or different colored yarns for aesthetic enhancements.

Closure:

Secure all loose ends with a needle, and ensure everything is tightly assembled.
