Step 3: Repeat step 2 x3.

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Finishing:

Sew the strawberry stem and leaves to the top part of the strawberry.

With white yarn and tapestry needle, crochet little v’s onto the strawberry. They look like little hearts which add additional cuteness to the coaster!

Weave in any loose ends.
