Embroidering the Seeds:
Using a tapestry needle and Yellow yarn, embroider small vertical seed stitches onto the front of one Red panel. Secure the yarn on the back of the panel.
Assembling the Strawberry:
Place the two Red panels together (wrong sides facing). Using Red yarn and your tapestry needle, whip stitch around the outer edge to join them together, leaving the flat top edge open slightly to attach the leaves. Alternatively, you can sc the two panels together for a clean, defined edge.
Green Sepals and Stem:
Using Green yarn:
Create a magic ring.
Leaves (Make 3): *Ch 4, sl st in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in the next ch, hdc in the last ch, sl st into the magic ring.* Repeat from * to * 2 more times to create three leaf petals.
Stem: Ch 5, sl st in the 2nd ch from hook and in each of the remaining 3 chs back down to the center. Sl st into the magic ring.
Pull the magic ring closed tightly. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
Final Assembly:
Sew the green leaf piece securely to the top of the red strawberry body. Hide all remaining loose ends inside the strawberry. Apply a line of hot glue along the top surface of the metal alligator clip, and press the flat back of the crochet strawberry firmly onto the clip. Allow the glue to cool completely before wearing!
