 Step by Step – Creating a Basic Fruit (Example: Strawberry) 1. Body Base Make a magic ring with 6 single crochet stitches. Increase to 12 stitches on the second row (2 sc in each stitch). Continue increasing until you reach the desired size for the fruit. 2. Shaping the Shape Work several rows without increases to create height. Begin making gradual decreases to close the top. Before closing completely, stuff with silicone fiberfill. 3. Leaves and Stem Using green thread, chain stitches and single crochet stitches to form small leaves. Sew the leaves to the top of the fruit. 4. Final Details Use white or yellow thread to embroider small seeds. If preferred, glue on beads for a more realistic effect.
