DIY amigurumi strawberry

This is a very nice and easy DIY of an amigurumi strawberry since spring is here and with it many delicious berries and fruits to enjoy and share-

 For this Amigurumi pattern you will need: 

• Red yarn 4 mm
• Green yarn 4 mm
• One pair of plastic safety eyes
• Fiberfill stuffing
• A small piece of black pressed felt
• White embroidery thread
• Yellow embroidery thread

Hook size:

For this pattern I am using a 4 mm hook but you can use a smaller or bigger. The bigger the hook the less tight the stitches and the bigger your amigurumi. If you use the hook I am recommending in this pattern and tour fabric still looks loose (you can see the stuffing) you should use a smaller hook.

HOW TO MAKE THE SEEDS AND MOUTH:

With yellow embroidery thread embroider little stars all over your strawberry, leaving the space where the mouth will be placed without any embroidered star.

Cut a small piece of pressed felt emulating a big smile and glue it to the body under the eyes.

Embroider the teeth in the upper part of the mouth with white embroidery thread.

You are ready, Happy spring!!
