Something sweet for the week? Add this cute little strawberry to your next crochet project. If you’re new to amigurumi, this is a great beginner project as it doesn’t require a lot of yarn, it’s easy, uses very simple repetitive stitches and it’s quick to make.
They look great in a basket, as a decoration or along with a playfood set. Attach a keyring and it would make an adorable little bag charm.
