I shared a picture of these crocheted strawberries on my Instagram in 2019 and they went viral! My whole Instagram went bananas! I got a lot of questions if I would like to share the patterns so here it is! Since then this has become one of my most saved and viewed patterns both on Instagram and here on the blog. I hope you enjoy it too!
