Crochet Fruis Part 8: Crochet Strawberry

Strawberry, one of the favorite fruit of my grand daughter. Small, bright coloured, cute in looking fruit. Every one likes it. First time I saw Strawberry farming, when I went to Mahabaleshwar, the beautiful hill station in Maharashtra. I was so inspired that I try to cultivate it in my home also. It was in my garden for 4-5 months but as soon as summer started no future to that. While making it, I enjoyed that cute little fruit. Pattern: I use 4 ply red and green yarns and 1.75 mm crochet hook. I worked it in spiral, so place marker at the first stitch of each round.
