🍓 Strawberry Motif – Written Pattern

(Interpreting the diagram shown at the bottom of the image)

Each strawberry is made of three parts:
(1) lace-filled body,
(2) textured seeds,
(3) leafy crown on top.

1️⃣ Strawberry Body (Blue section on diagram)

Round 1:
Ch 12. Join with sl st to form a ring.

Round 2:
Inside the ring, work:
ch 5, sl st
Repeat all around to create the lace oval base.

Round 3:
Continue with the same repeat:
ch 5, sl st into next arch
This builds the lace-filled interior of the strawberry.

Work 4–6 rounds depending on your desired size.

2️⃣ Shaping the Outer Curve (Red dotted line on diagram)

Work sc or sl st around the entire shape to create the strawberry outline.

You can slightly increase at the wider sides to keep the shape smooth.

3️⃣ Top Ridges (Blue upper stitches)

At the top of the strawberry, attach yarn.

Work a row of:
sc, dc, dc cluster, dc, sc
This forms the ribbed area near the leaves.

4️⃣ Leaf Crown (Orange diagram section)

Attach green yarn.

Work:

• ch 5, sl st (small leaf)

• ch 7, dc, sl st (larger leaf)

• Repeat around the top to form 5–6 leaves

Each leaf has height variations: sc → dc → tr, returning with sc or sl st.

Fasten off.

To create the vines:

Stems:
Ch 12–20, sl st back along the chain.
