Giant Strawberry Crochet Pattern
Hello! It’s Amy from @curiouspapaya and this month is all about the strawbs. Strawberry ice cream, strawberry pie, strawberry cake… I’m a firm believer that you just can’t go wrong with strawberry. Try to prove me wrong! Here’s a super easy/fun make for everyone prepping for their upcoming markets. This pattern contains modifications so that you can use any yarn to make it.
