Free Strawberry Plushie Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
Mar
Who doesn’t love a plump, juicy strawberry—especially one that never goes bad? If you’re looking for a fun and beginner-friendly crochet project, my new amigurumi crochet strawberry pattern is the perfect pick! Whether you want to add a touch of fruity charm to your decor, create cute play food, or make a sweet gift, this is the pattern for you!
This pattern is extremely versatile. When made with Worsted weight yarn (Medium 4), this amigurumi strawberry toy is the size of a real strawberry. When made with Super Bulky (6) weight yarn, it turns into a berry cute plushie!

By copying or distributing my patterns without permission, you are making it difficult for designers like me to continue doing what I love. Doing so also discourages me and will prompt me to stop sharing my patterns freely. If you wish to utilize the free patterns, you may do so on my site. Thank you so much for your understanding and for being respectful!

Yarn I Used
I used WeCrochet Shine Worsted yarn for my strawberries. I find the sheen of the yarn itself makes the strawberries look extra scrumptious.
This pattern is a great stash buster to use up any scrap red and green yarn you may have on hand. Feel free use any yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn. You can also easily size up/down by using thicker/thinner yarn, just make sure to change the size of your hook accordingly.
Gauge
5 Round Circle = 1.5” with a 2.75mm (C) hook
Note: I am working with the x-stitch (yarn under/yarn over single crochet). If you are working a standard sc, go down a hook size.
Gauge isn’t super important for amigurumi, but I included it just in case you want to check your gauge. Being a little off should not affect the final product too much. You can learn more about how to measure gauge for amigurumi here!

The finished strawberry measures to be roughly 2.75 in (4.5 cm) tall if you use similar weight of yarn as me and match my gauge.

Notes & Guides
This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. Mark the first stitch of the round with a stitch marker to help keep track of where the beginning of the round is.
Closing the Hole – To close the hole, fasten off and thread the yarn tail onto a darning needle. Insert the needle under the front loop of the next stitch and pull through. Repeat with the rest of the stitches, then pull on the tail to close the hole. Weave the tail into the centre of the hole to hide the tail.
Sewing Amigurumi Parts Together – Pin the loose part (the Ear in the photo example below, which I will be calling A) onto the base part (Head, B).
Thread the yarn tail from A onto a darning needle. *Insert the needle into B, immediately beneath the yarn tail and out the next space on B immediately below the next stitch of A. Pull through, then insert the needle through both loops of the next stitch of A. Repeat the steps starting from the *, going all the way around A. Thread the tail through B to hide the yarn tail.
