all season strawberry
The parts were leftover from the knitted cat I made they were supposed to be paws. I reckoned them rather strawberry looking... so... I made a strawberry pin, now I have one to add to my collection.

(Wouldn't dare to waste perfect yarn ;p )

    Step 2

    make two

    - cast on 12 stitches
    - knit 5 rows in stockinette stitch*
    *knit right side, purl wrong side of fabric*

    - purl 1 row, on next row (right side) cast off 1 stitch both sides.

    (at end of needle pull the last stitch over latter and then knit)

    repeat this 5 times, then cast off last 4 stitches.

    Step 7

    Sew top on the strawberry, fasten it and pull the remaining thread through the middle.

    Put some glue on remaining thread (about 0,5") let dry, then cut off the excess - this 'way the stem won't unravel.

    now enjoy your strawberry all seasons!
