Crochet: Strawberry Cellphone Charm

I had crocheted the body of the strawberry and the leaves.

I also had stuffed the fiber fill into the body, and then I kept the unfinished strawberry in sewing threads storage box (Yeah, I really did).

I had abandoned the unfinished strawberry for quite a long time, and yesterday I decided to finish making the charm.

And this is the result:

Crocheted Strawberry Cellphone Charm

It's cute, isn't it?

My very first crocheted strawberry cellphone charm ever.

I'm so happy... and I've attached the charm to my cellphone...

Although I sewed the leaves in a weird position... I just realized about that when I looked at the photo of the charm I had taken... Oh, well...

Anyway, I learned how to crochet the strawberry through this free pattern [Crocheted Summer Strawberry].

The original strawberry is quite big for a cellphone charm, so I decreased the number of stitches to make the strawberry be in small size.

For the leaves and the tiny flowers, I used the pattern found in a crochet book; [Pelbagai Ragam Mengait]. I'm sure you can find the flower pattern in the Internet, it's a basic flower pattern. It's just that I learned to make those flowers using the instruction in the book...

The book has so many beautiful crochet accessories photos. I feel like crocheting all of them! Well, someday...

String Maker...

Lily-yarn Set

I bought this handy string maker tool at Daiso shop at Sunway Pyramid. You can create three different thicknesses of string: small, medium, and large. I'm making strings for my crohet bags (still in progress though...). At first, it was hard for me to use the tool, but now I can't stop using it! I even making the string while waiting for the bus...

The packaging and two screw-on heads

Yeah, right. I have to stop or else I won't be doing anything other than making strings...

I'll be posting pictures about crochet bags I'm currently making.

I'm also planning to post about my previous crochet projects.

Please look forward to them!
