Perfect for the summer season - or adding the feel of summer at any time of year - this realistic Strawberry Plant pattern makes a lovely ornamental piece, with its distinctive leaves, delicate white flowers and plump bright red strawberries.
Strawberry Plant is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank.
This pattern includes full instructions to make a strawberry plant complete with realistic leaves, flowers and berries.The pot has a stylish textured band, and a decorative edging that keeps the top edge of the pot straight.
This pattern also includes bonus instructions for making adorable individual strawberries - perfect as play food, or to make into a cute keychain.
Details: Although this pattern has lots of components, I've put a lot of thought into making it easy and enjoyable for you to make:
- The elements are strategically positioned to give a full and balanced composition without requiring too many pieces.
- Each triple leaf is crocheted as a single piece, making the process a lot faster than you'd think!
- My instructions include the easiest methods to hide yarn ends as you go and assemble the plant with minimal sewing.
- The complete pattern includes 13 pages, with detailed step-by-step photos for each element and clear diagrams for the final assembly.
Yarn: worsted weight yarn in several colours - this pattern is a great way to use up your scrap yarn!
