I have been wanting to knit a little strawberry for ages!
So here it is, knitted from yarn scraps, I have knitted it in the magic loop technique, or DPNs would work just as well too:)
Materials:
Red and green oddments of yarn
4mm circular needles
Merino stuffing
Sewing up needle
4mm DPNs to knit the stalk i-cord
Pattern:
Cast on 4 stitches and join for knitting in the round.
Round 1:Knit
Round 2: Kfb all stitches. (8 stitches)
Round 3: Kfb all stitches. (16 stitches)
Round 4: Knit
Round 5: (Knit 2, kfb) across the round, knit 1. (21 stitches)

Round 14: Knit
Start stuffing your strawberry now.
Round 15: (Knit 1, knit 2 together) across the round, knit 1 stitch on the end. (6 stitches)
Cut thread, thread needle and put stitches on the sewing needle, make sure you have stuffed the strawberry sufficiently, pull the stitches tight.
Finish off.

Pick up 2 stitches along the left side of the knitting on the right needle.
Cast them off by knitting them across onto the right needle one by one and passing the right stitch over each knitted stitch.
Place the right needle’s stitch on the left needle and knit 2 stitches together, knit 2.***
Knit from *** to ***
Continue to knit this way until all the stitches have been knitted.
Cast off the last 2 stitches down the side of the little leaf, finish off and sew in ends.
Sew the green cap onto the strawberry.
With 2 double pointed size 4mm needles, pick up 2 stitches on the top of the green cap and knit a small i-cord for a stalk.
This pattern is for personal use only.

Very cute! A bowl of these on the table…you’d have grabbers for sure! I made some many years ago out of fabric…same style and all…and I had them in a glass bowl (smaller bowl with high side) on the table and when anyone came to the kitchen..that ist he first place they’d go when they saw the “strawberries”.
I love those strawberries!
This is so cute! I can’t wait to try it!

Hi, I’m stuck at round 7 of green top. I’ve done till purl 2 together, turn. From this point, I don’t understand… Could anyone help please?
Hi Aya, when it says turn, you turn your work around and start knitting back along the stitches you have just knitted.
Happy knitting
Linda
Hola, sĂºper lindo todos tus tejidos, justo el tutorial de cĂ³mo hacer la manzana no se puede abrir la pĂ¡gina, al principio creĂ que era mi equipo o mi conecciĂ³n.
Pero de todas maneras me cuesta mucho entender la traducciĂ³n del inglĂ©s, es solo para darme una idea, al final la saco viendo la imagen de la foto, jajajj.
Un abrazo desde Santiago de Chile.
