Insert hook into next stitch → Sl St
Ch 6
Skip the first chain

Work the following into the remaining chains:

1 Sl St
1 SC
3 HDC (one in each chain)

Insert hook into the next stitch on the ring → Sl St to anchor the leaf.

You will create six leaves total.

Stem

Insert your hook into the center of the MR.
Pull up a loop and Sl St. Repeat once more so it stays centered.
Ch 6.

Skip the first chain, then work 5 Sl St back down the chain.

Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
Hide and secure the end on the back.

Your leafy cap and stem are finished!

Assembly

Sewing the Leaves

Place the leafy cap neatly on top of your strawberry.
Sew all around the green base circle so it sits securely in place.

Optional:
A tiny touch of silicone fabric glue under each leaf tip helps them stay flat.

Embroidered Seeds

Using a thin strand of white or yellow yarn:

Insert the needle through the bottom of the strawberry, leaving the tail inside.
Add small surface stitches—tiny “seed dashes”—randomly around the red body.
Bring the needle back to the starting point, tie a small knot, pull it inside, and trim.

Turn It Into a Keychain

Open a metal keyring.
At the tip of the stem, you’ll find a small space perfect for sliding the ring through.
Add one or even two strawberries for a cute cluster charm.

Your strawberry amigurumi keychain is ready to brighten your bag or gift to someone special!
