Crochet Strawberry Keychain Guide
Materials:
- Yarn: Various shades of red for the strawberry body (using two shades is optional, a single colour is also fine), green yarn for the leaves, and mustard-coloured thin yarn for the seeds.
- Crochet Hook: If using a lightweight or DK yarn, a common hook size choice might be in the range of 2.5mm to 3.5mm.
- Scissors: For cutting yarn tails.
- Sewing Needle: For assembling parts and weaving in ends.
- Fiber Fill: For stuffing the amigurumi.
- Keychain Base & Pliers: If converting the amigurumi into a keychain.
Abbreviations (Common Crochet Terms):
- Sc: Single Crochet
- Inc: Increase (two single crochets in one stitch)
- Dec: Decrease (combining two stitches into one, also mentioned as "invisible decrease" which involves crocheting through the front loops only)
Pattern Highlights:
- The pattern starts with a magic ring.
- It follows a standard amigurumi increase pattern (6 stitches in the magic ring, then round-by-round increases) to form the strawberry body.
- Stitches used include single crochet (sc), increases (inc), and decreases (dec) for shaping.
- After finishing the increases, even rounds are worked without increases to lengthen the body before decreases start to shape the strawberry tip.
- The green yarn is used to crochet leaves and stems that are attached to the top of the strawberry.
- Mustard-colored thin yarn is used to embroider the seeds.
- The pattern is considered beginner-friendly and is a good project for using yarn leftovers.
