🍓 Crochet Strawberry Pattern

We’ll start by working the strawberry in the round, shaping it gradually to get that plump, juicy look! Then, we’ll add the tiny stem and textured leaves for a realistic finish. 🌿✨

Strawberry Body

🧶 Using red yarn (A), make a Magic Circle.

🍓 Round 1: Sc 6 into the MC. Pull tight to close. (6 sts)
🍓 Round 2: (Sc 2, inc 1) x2. (8 sts)
🍓 Round 3: (Sc 1, inc 1) x4. (12 sts)
🍓 Round 4: (Sc 5, inc 1) x2. (14 sts)
🍓 Round 5: Sc 3, inc 1, sc 6, inc 1, sc 3. (16 sts)
🍓 Round 6: (Sc 7, inc 1) x2. (18 sts)
🍓 Round 7: Sc 4, inc 1, sc 8, inc 1, sc 4. (20 sts)
🍓 Round 8: (Inc 1, sc 3) x5. (25 sts)

Shaping the Strawberry:
Now that we have a nice rounded shape, let’s define the classic tapered look of the strawberry! 🍓

🍓 Rounds 9-11: Sc in each st around. (25 sts)

🪡 Time to decrease! This will create that signature pointed bottom. Start lightly stuffing as you go.

🍓 Round 12: (Sc 3, inv dec 1) x5. (20 sts)
🍓 Round 13: Sc 1, inv dec 1, (sc 2, inv dec 1) x4, sc 1. (15 sts)

🧸 Finish stuffing before the last round! Make sure your strawberry is nice and firm.

🍓 Round 14: (Inv dec 1, sc 1) x5. (10 sts)

Fasten off and use a needle to weave through the front loops of the last 10 stitches to close up the top neatly. Weave in the ends.

Stem & Leaves

Now let’s add that adorable leafy top! 🌿

✅ Stem (Green, B)
🌱 Ch 3.
🌱 Sl st in second ch from hook, then sl st in the next ch. (2 sts)
🌱 Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

✅ Large Leaves (Green, B)
🌱 Make a Magic Circle.
🌱 Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc 6 in MC, sl st to join. (6 sts)
🌱 Round 2: (Ch 3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc 1, sl st in next st on Round 1) x6. (6 small leaf points)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
