Questions about this pattern
Is this a good first amigurumi?
Yes — it is one small spiral with one increase and one decrease, and the pattern explains the spiral and the stitch marker.
When do I add the seeds?
Before stuffing — small straight stitches in white or yellow, scattered over the berry. The pattern reminds you at the right moment.
How much yarn does it need?
About 8 g of DK scraps in red and green — one strawberry costs almost nothing.
