you’re seeing is a 3D strawberry crochet stitch (sometimes called puff or berry stitch on a base). I’ll guide you step by step so you can make it:
🍓 Detailed Step-by-Step Crochet Strawberry Stitch
🔹 1. Crochet the White Base
- Make a foundation chain (any length you like).
- Example: ch 25.
- Work rows of double crochet (dc).
- Ch 2, dc across.
- On the row where you want to add strawberries, leave a space:
- For example, dc 3, ch 2, skip 2, dc 3 → the ch-2 space is where you’ll build your strawberry.
🔹 2. Make the Strawberry Leaves (Green Yarn)
- Attach green yarn into the chain space.
- Yarn over, insert hook into the space, pull up a very tall loop (about 1.5–2 cm).
- Keep repeating this until you have 6 long loops on the hook (all from the same space).
- These are the leaves under the strawberry.
- Don’t close yet — keep them on the hook.
🔹 3. Make the Strawberry Body (Red Yarn)
- Switch to red yarn.
- Hold green aside (you can carry it or cut, depending on your project).
- Into the same space, make 10–12 tall loops (same height as the green ones).
- This creates the plump strawberry body.
- Each loop: yarn over, insert hook, pull up tall loop, leave it on hook.
- Now you’ll have a thick bunch of green + red loops sitting on your hook.
🔹 4. Close the Puff
- Yarn over with red yarn.
- Pull through all the loops on your hook in one motion.
- Chain 1 to lock the puff together.
- This forms the 3D strawberry.
🔹 5. Continue Base Row
- Switch back to white yarn.
- Work dc stitches across, skipping over the strawberry space.
- Keep repeating strawberries where you want them.
🔹 6. Finishing Touch
- After a few rows, you’ll see 3D strawberries popping out on your fabric.
- You can stagger them (like checkerboard) for a nice design.
🌼 Tips
- Use soft acrylic or cotton yarn so the strawberries hold shape.
- If you want bigger strawberries → make taller loops and more red loops.
- If you want smaller → fewer loops (e.g., 6 green, 8 red).
