Crochet Strawberry Plush - FREE Pattern + Video Tutorial

🤍WELCOME HERE🤍

Hello There! Today I am sharing a HIGHLY requested pattern today and that’s the Giant Strawberry Plushie!🍓✨

This post may contains affiliate links.

Since showing this cutie plush on my Instagram and TikTok about a month ago, I have got TONS of questions every day since then about when I am going to release the pattern for it, and today is the day!

If you’re a long time follower here, you know that I mostly make patterns for clothing and not amigurumi/toys, so when working on this strawberry and trying to make it look exactly how I pictured it, it took a lot longer than I anticipated.

I love how it came out and am so excited to share it with all of you now! SO, without further ado, LET’S GET STARTED!

Video Tutorial

MATERIALS

Weight 6 Yarn – I used Bernat Blanket Yarn in the colors “Race Car Red”, “Go Go Green”, “Pixie Pink” and “Vanilla.” I used less than an entire skein for each color, there should be enough left over to make a second strawberry from the same skeins.

10.00mm Crochet Hook

Scissors – Small, cute and sharp!

Stitch Markers – Love these because they are secure and won’t fall out of your work.

Darning Needle – my FAVES 💕

STITCHES + ABBREVIATIONS

Ch = Chain

Sc = Single Crochet

St(s) = Stitch(es)

Rep = Repeat

Inc = Increase

Dec = Decrease

BLO – Back Loop Only

FLO = Front Loop Only
