Materials used in the Crochet Strawberry Pattern
- I used Schachenmayr Catania Originals – a sport weight / fine (2) yarn made of 100% cotton (125 meters / 137 yds per 50 g skein). For my strawberries, I chose various shades of red, different greens for the calyx, and yellow for the seeds. But don’t hesitate to get creative! You can use any yarn you like – just make sure your crochet hook matches the yarn weight. Experiment with colors and textures to make each strawberry unique! Need help picking a substitute yarn? The Yarn Substitution Tool is a great resource for finding similar options.
- Crochet hook size 2.50 mm.
- Fiberfill.
- Scissors, yarn needle.
Gauge and Measurements
The finished strawberry measures about 1.5″ (3.5 cm) in height. Gauge is not important for this pattern – you can easily adjust the size of the strawberry by using a smaller or larger hook, choosing thinner or thicker yarn, or both.
Finished strawberries can be used as a cute and unique keychain!

Crochet Strawberry Calyx Step-by-Step
We will crochet the calyx using the remaining 12 front loops with green yarn.
Step 1. Hold the berry with the top facing you, and insert the hook into the first front loop. With green yarn, yarn over, and pull up a loop. You’ve just made a ch 1.
Step 2. Ch 3. Along the ch-4 starting from the second loop, work sl st, sc, and hdc (see photo 6).
Step 3. Make a sl st in each of the next two front loops (see photo 7).
Step 4. Ch 3. Along the ch-3 starting from the second loop, work sl st and sc.
Step 5. Make a sl st in each of the next two front loops (see photo 8).
Step 6. Now continue working around, alternating between ch 4 and ch 3 until the end of the round. To do this, repeat Steps 2–5 two more times. Note that in step 2, you need to make a ch 4. On the last repeat, you’ll notice there is no front loop left for the final sl st in Step 5 – in that case, simply make the last slip stitch into the same front loop where you initially joined the yarn (see photo 9).
Step 7. Cut the yarn and weave in ends (see photo 10).
Decoration
Now simply embroider tiny yellow dots with straight stitches using a needle (see photos below) to imitate the seeds on the strawberry.
