Slst 1, cut the yarn, pull through and hide the end.

See video at (48:09) for detailed instructions.

Try using the Perfect Stripe Method to get a clean color change for a chocolate covered strawberry and don’t want to try the drippy border!

Add the eyes around Rnds 13 – 14 and about 7 – 9 stitches apart (depending on preference). Try embroidering on eyelashes just under the eyes before locking in.

Slst 1, cut the yarn and pull through leaving a long enough end to sew onto the strawberry.
Sew this onto the top of the strawberry by using the first tail end to go through the very center of the top and out an adjacent stitch on the side. Then use the other tail end to sew on the corners between leaves to their adjacent stitch. Exit out of the same place as the previous tail end, double knot together, cut close and stuff into the body.
