It’s time for a new classic PlanetJune potted plant pattern! Perfect for the summer season – or adding the feel of summer at any time of year – my realistic Strawberry Plant crochet pattern<\/a> makes a lovely ornamental piece, with its distinctive leaves, delicate white flowers and plump bright red berries. <\/p>\n For this strawberry plant, I was looking to create a simplified design with just the right amount of realism in a compact, well-balanced arrangement. The pot has a stylish textured band, and a new style of decorative edging that keeps the top edge of the pot nice and straight.<\/p>\n This pattern also includes bonus instructions for making adorable individual strawberries – perfect as play food, or to make into a cute keychain.<\/p>\n I’ve put a lot of thought into making this pattern both easy and enjoyable for you to crochet. While it includes multiple pieces – pot, leaves, flowers, and berries – I’ve carefully designed it to minimise both the number of pieces and<\/em> the amount of finishing needed:<\/p>\n I’ve also stuck to my usual design principles: the pattern requires no wires for support, and no tiny hooks or crochet thread. All you need is your usual worsted weight yarn, an E (3.5mm) hook, and some stuffing, and you’ll be ready to create a beautiful, realistic strawberry plant!<\/p>\n I’ve made a new photo tutorial (for right- and left-handers, of course) to accompany this pattern: the double ring for amigurumi<\/a>. This technique is a more secure version of the magic ring for crocheting in the round. <\/p>\n This is one of those optional techniques that isn’t often necessary, and I don’t usually recommend it because it’s a little slower and more difficult than a standard magic ring. But it’s a useful technique to add to your arsenal for those times when you need a magic ring with extra strength or security, like making tiny strawberry flowers!<\/p>\n Ready to get started?\u00a0Pick up the Strawberry Plant crochet pattern<\/a> from my shop right now.<\/p>\n Or, if you’re not ready to make one just yet, add it to your Ravelry queue or favourites<\/a> so you don’t forget:<\/p>\n![\"Strawberry](\"\/blog\/images\/strawberry_plant.jpg\")
