Lightly stuff the strawberry so it holds a firm round shape.
Use the yarn tail to close the top hole tightly.
Attach the keychain ring through one of the leaf stitches.
Secure the ring tightly so it holds the weight of the keychain.

Optional Details

• Add a small chain loop before attaching the keychain ring if you prefer extra hanging length.
• Use sparkle yarn for a decorative strawberry charm.

Beginner Tips

• Use a stitch marker to track the first stitch of each round.
• Stuff gradually while crocheting, not all at the end, to keep the shape smooth.
• Keep stitches tight and consistent so stuffing doesn’t show through.
