Assembling the Strawberry:
Sew the opening of the strawberry body closed.

Optional: Embroider small black seeds onto the strawberry using black embroidery floss or thin yarn. You can also add a tiny yellow center for extra detail.

Attaching the Keychain:
Attach a small jump ring or keychain attachment to the top of the strawberry using a strong thread or thin yarn. Secure well and weave in ends.

Tips and Variations:
Yarn Choice: Experiment with different yarn weights and colors to create unique strawberries. A slightly fuzzy yarn can add a lovely texture.
Adding a Stem: Create a simple stem by crocheting a small chain of green yarn and attaching it to the leaves.
Facial Features: Add a cheeky smile to your strawberry by embroidering a simple mouth.
Size Variation: Adjust the number of rounds to create a larger or smaller strawberry.
