It is June and it is strawberry season. I love strawberries and can eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! And how could I miss making a crochet Strawberry applique?
In this post, I would like to share with you this simple heart-shaped crochet strawberry applique. It is easy to make and very cute, but it is not as tasty as a real one!

Have you noticed that sometimes strawberries have the shape of a heart? My crochet strawberry applique is made from crocheted hearts of two different sizes.
To make such strawberry, you just need to crochet hearts according to the instructions and then sew them together as shown in the picture.
