The Pattern

01Large Berry
[All in Red]
Magic Loop
Rnd 1: sc 6 into the magic loop (6)
To add a loop for hanging, in Rnd 2, work around the tail end for the first 6 sts. Then pull the tail end loop through the center, but not all the way. Create a loop as long as you'd like the hanger to be. Work around the rest of the tail end that is left on the inside for the remaining sts in Rnd 2.
Rnd 2: inc in each (12)
Rnd 3: [sc 1, inc 1] 6 times (18)
Rnd 4: [sc 2, inc 1] 6 times (24)
Rnds 5-9: sc in each (24 x 5)
Rnd 10: [sc 2, invdec 1] 6 times (18)
Rnd 11: [sc 1, invdec 1] 6 times (12)
Add a face. I like putting eyes in Rnd 7, sts 7 and 11, with a smile in between (see "Adding a Face" for more detail).
Rnd 12: invdec in each (6)
Cut the yarn, stuff fully, and sew closed.
02Small Berry
[All in Red]
Magic loop
Rnd 1: sc 6 into the magic loop (6)
Rnd 2: inc in each (12)
Rnd 3: [sc 2, inc 1] 4 times (16)
Rnds 4-7: sc in each (16 x 4)
Rnd 8: [sc 2, invdec 1] 4 times (12)
Rnd 9: invdec in each (6)
Cut the yarn, stuff fully, and sew closed.
03Adding a Face
To add a face I like to start with the mouth, then add eyes using safety eyes on either end of the edges of the mouth 1 stitch away. I personally like adding my face centered on the berries.
Simple Smile
1. Using Black thread insert the needle from the inside of the body and exiting where you want a smile to begin.
2. Pull to the opposite corner of where you want the smile to end, and insert your needle back into the body. This will create a straight line.
3. Insert your needle to exit the body where you want the bottom of the smile to be. Go around the straight line and insert back into the body through the same stitch you last exited.
4. Double knot the two ends on the inside of the body and cut close.
04Leaf
[All in Green]/b>
Ch 11
Row 1: Skip first ch from hook, sc 10, turn to work the other side of the chain, sc 10 (20)
*Make sure to work around the tail end as you crochet back down the chain.
Row 2: [sc 1, {hdc 1, dc 1, ch 1, hdc 1}, slst 1] repeat 3 times
{sc 1, dc 1}, {dc 1, hdc 1}, slst 1,
[sc 1, {hdc 1, dc 1, ch 1, hdc 1}, slst 1] repeat 3 times (45)
Stem: Ch 3, skip the first ch from the hook, slst 2
Slst 1 into the base of the leaf. Cut a long tail end for sewing to the berries.
Wave the yarn tail of the leaf towards the bottom of the stem. Sew 1 leaf to the top of each of the berries. Sew the final leaf to attach to both bases of the other leaves to connect together.

Pattern is well written, but there is a spelling mistake in the last directions of the leaf, it says wave instead of weave. The video tutorial was very helpful regarding the leaves as they were a bit difficult, and the sewing helped a lot to have a visual guide. Thanks so much Louie for another great pattern!
