Strawberry Plant

Perfect for the summer season - or adding the feel of summer at any time of year - this realistic Strawberry Plant pattern makes a lovely ornamental piece, with its distinctive leaves, delicate white flowers and plump bright red strawberries.  **Strawberry Plant** is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank. This pattern includes full instructions to make a strawberry plant complete with realistic leaves, flowers and berries.The pot has a stylish textured band, and a decorative edging that keeps the top edge of the pot straight. This pattern also includes bonus instructions for making adorable individual strawberries - perfect as play food, or to make into a cute keychain. Details: Although this pattern has lots of components, I've put a lot of thought into making it easy and enjoyable for you to make: * The elements are strategically positioned to give a full and balanced composition without requiring too many pieces. * Each triple leaf is crocheted as a single piece, making the process a lot faster than you'd think! * My instructions include the easiest methods to hide yarn ends as you go and assemble the plant with minimal sewing. * The complete pattern includes 13 pages, with detailed step-by-step photos for each element and clear diagrams for the final assembly. **Yarn:** worsted weight yarn in several colours - this pattern is a great way to use up your scrap yarn! **Hook:** US E / 3.5mm **Size:** Approximate measurements: * Strawberry plant (including pot): 4.5" (11.5cm) wide by 5" (13cm) tall * Individual strawberry: 2" (5cm) long, including stalk. *(Your gauge and yarn choice, and how you arrange the components, will affect the finished sizes slightly.)* *** > ***Please join us*** *in the [PlanetJune crochet designs > group](http://www.ravelry.com/groups/planetjune-crochet-designs) > - you can get pattern support, join crochet-alongs, show off your FOs, > suggest new designs, and chat.
