Rnd 16B: working in the FLO, [sc 1, hdc 1, dc 2, hdc 1, sc 1] 8 times (48) Slst 1, cut the yarn, pull through and hide the end. Create a slip knot in Red and pull through the first unused BLO from Rnd 16. Ch 1 and work Rnd 17 (all sc stitches) into the BLO stitches from Rnd 16 starting in the same stitch you pulled through to start. See video at (48:09) for detailed instructions. [Change to Red if you are making a chocolate covered strawberry] Rnd 17 - 20: sc in each st (48 x 4) (1:04:04) Add eyes between Rnds 13 - 14 about 7 stitches apart (see page 4 for details). Try using the Perfect Stripe Method to get a clean color change for a chocolate covered strawberry and don’t want to try the drippy border! www.ClubCrochet.com/STRIPE Embroider on a smile.

(1:39:26) Embroider on seeds using Yellow yarn on any areas in Red around 8 st apart and stagger them on every other round. 3 Adding the Face Add the eyes around Rnds 13 - 14 and about 7 - 9 stitches apart (depending on preference). Try embroidering on eyelashes just under the eyes before locking in. Embroider a mouth between the eyes and slightly lower, and cheeks in Pink just under the eyes. See video at (1:04:04) for details on how to add the face. {} = worked in the same stitch ie. {sc 3} an increase +1 in one stitch p = Picot (ch 3, slst in BLO of the 1st ch made) Calyx (Fun Fact: This is the green leafy bit at the top of a strawberry!) [All in Green] (1:49:32) Magic loop Chain’s back loop (BLO) Rnd 1: sc 6 in the magic loop (6) Rnd 2 - 4: sc in each st (6 x 3) Rnd 5: working in the FLO, inc in each st (12) Rnd 6: [sc 1, inc 1] 6 times (18) Rnd 7: [sc 2, inc 1] 6 times (24) Rnd 8: [skip 1 st, {dc 2, p, dc 2}, skip 1 st, slst 1] 6 times (6 leaves) Slst 1, cut the yarn and pull through leaving a long enough end to sew onto the strawberry. Sew this onto the top of the strawberry by using the first tail end to go through the very center of the top and out an adjacent stitch on the side. Then use the other tail end to sew on the corners between leaves to their adjacent stitch. Exit out of the same place as the previous tail end, double knot together, cut close and stuff into the body. 4 Thank you so much!!
