- R2: (inc) x6 in each stitch, join with slst (12).
- R3: Work sc around (12).
- R4: (sc, inc) x6, join with slst (18).

- R11: Work sc around (30).
- R12: (4 sc, inc) x6, join with slst (36).
Upper Section:
- R13–R16: Work sc around for 4 rounds (36).
- R17: (4 sc, dec) x6 (30).
- R18: (3 sc, dec) x6 (24).
- R19: (2 sc, dec) x6 (18). Stuff as you go to achieve the plump strawberry shape.
- R20: (sc, dec) x6 (12).
Closing:
- Once finished stuffing, stitch through the remaining 12 loops to secure the center and achieve a clean closure. Knot and fasten off.
2. Stem and Keychain Loop
Switch to green yarn to crochet the stem and loop for the keychain attachment.
Stem:
- Attach green yarn to the top center of the strawberry.
- Work 1 sc to secure and then ch 10.
- For a longer loop, increase the chain size as desired.
- Secure the loop by joining it with slst to the opposite side of the top edge. Knot and fasten off.
3. Leaves
Create small leaves to wrap around the stem for a detailed look.
- R1: Make a magic ring, ch 2, and work 14 dc into the ring (14).
- R2: Work 4 ch, then into those chains:
- 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc.
- Skip one dc and secure with slst into the next.
- Repeat for 7 leaves. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing the leaves onto the stem of the strawberry.
4. Flower (Optional)
Add a small white flower for an extra decorative touch.
- R1: Make a magic ring, ch 1, and create 5 petals:
- For each petal: (Yarn over, pull through twice, ch 1, slst).
- Close the ring tightly and stitch the flower onto the top of the leaves.
5. Seed Embroidery
For the seeds:
- Use yellow or mustard yarn to embroider small horizontal stitches across the strawberry body.
- The placement doesn’t need to be overly symmetrical but should cover the surface without looking sparse.
Alternatively, you can sew small beads onto the strawberry body to mimic seeds for a more decorative finish.
Assembly and Finished Size
After completing all parts:
- Sew the leaves onto the stem securely, ensuring symmetry.
- Attach the flower (if added) above the leaves.
- Add the keychain clip to the green loop at the top.
Final Size: ~5–6 cm height (~2 inches)
Conclusion
Your crochet strawberry keychain is complete. Whether you embroider the seeds, use beads for an extra pop, or add a flower detail, the design possibilities are endless with this versatile pattern. These cute strawberries make fantastic gifts, decor items, or fruit toys for kids.
