Strawberry pattern

This pattern may not be used for commercial purposes without written permission from the designer.





Strawberry Sachets

This is the basic pattern.  I used a medium weight cotton that I had in my stash (label is long gone) and size
7 needles, plus double pointeds (2).  You can adjust the pattern to fit what you have in your stash, I am sure!


CO 10 stitches
Row 1: k 10
Row 2: p 10
Row 3: increase every other stitch, 15 stitches
Row 4: p 15
Row 5: increase every other stitch, 23 stitches
Row 6: p 23
Row 7: starting with the first stitch, every fifth stitch, knit with green
Row 8: purl across row, using green yarn on green stitches as above, AND every stitch next to a green stitch
Row 9: knit across row, all in green
Row 10: p2tog every stitch
Row 11: k2tog every stitch


Continue decreasing until 2 or 3 stitches remain.  Knit I-cord for two rows, then bind off. 

Stuff strawberry with packets of moth-away or cedar balls, and sew up seam using red tails for the fruit area, and green tails for the stem.


Hurrah!  You have a strawberry sachet!

That is just awesome! I especially love the photo and placement of the sachets in that strawberry basket. I just may have to go root in my stash and see what I have in fruity colors.
