Free Mini Crochet Strawberry Pattern



Summer starts here! Well, not officially but we have been blessed with some amazing sunny and warm weather just recently which is really helping to kick off the summer season crafting - and what better for this than some sweet, crochet strawberries to make and enjoy with this free mini crochet strawberry pattern.

I'll be stringing mine up on a garland for my daughter's girly birthday party. But they do look cute presented in a bowl and I can imagine what cute additions and embellishments they'd make on a little cushion too. 

The basic crochet strawberry pattern is below for you. It is my own pattern that I've worked on. I've seen these made up before but not exactly to my own tastes so I worked out my own pattern to get the exact shape and style that I was after.

Patterns are in US terms. It is easy to substitute US sc for UK dc. Both the body and stalk area are worked in continuous rounds so you will definitely find it helpful to use a Crochet Stitch Marker to keep track of the end of each row as you work.

Of course you can use any combination of yarn and hook that you prefer. You really want quite tight stitches as you are stuffing this so you may need to go down a size of hook to achieve that.


I used plain DK or double knitting yarns and you can easily use any worsted weight for this pattern. Use your leftover yarns if you like!

Use a long darning needle with a blunt end for sewing and a wide enough eye to accommodate your yarn or thick piece of embroidery thread.

Using a long piece of yarn, start sewing at the fat end of the fruit where you have worked the more untidy decrease stitches and work in a small straight stitch.

Then pop your needle somewhere else in the body to work another small stitch. Do this randomly around the body to make your pips and then fasten off back at the end you started at, sewing in any loose threads.
