Instructions

Part 1: Strawberry

Create a Slip Knot

Make a slip knot to begin.

Starting Chain

Chain 3.

Row 1

Insert hook in the second chain from the hook, make one single crochet. Insert the hook in the next chain, make another single crochet. Chain 1, turn your work.

Row 2

In the first stitch, make two single crochets (increase). Make two single crochets in the next stitch (increase). You now have 4 single crochets. Chain 1, turn your work.

Row 3

In the first stitch, make two single crochets. Make one single crochet in each of the next two stitches. In the last stitch, make two single crochets. Chain 1, turn your work.

Row 4

Repeat the pattern of increasing at the beginning and end of the row, while making one single crochet in each stitch between. You now have 8 stitches.

Row 5

Continue as before, increasing at both ends and placing single crochets between. Now you should have 10 stitches.

Row 6

Begin to decrease: Insert hook, yarn over, pull through, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, and pull through all loops on the hook (decrease made). Make one single crochet in the next stitch and repeat the decrease at the end of the row.

Finishing the Strawberry

Continue the established increase and decrease pattern until the shape resembles a strawberry. Fasten off yarn and use the needle to hide the yarn tail within the stitches.

Part 2: Attaching to Clip

Prepare the Clip

Attach new yarn to the hook, and insert it into the hair clip. Secure by making several single crochets around the hair clip, covering it evenly with stitches.

Create a Looping Border

Chain 3, then single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat around the perimeter of the clip.

Attach the Strawberry

Position the crocheted strawberry on the hair clip. If desired, use a dab of glue to secure it or sew it on with a yarn needle for a firmer hold.

Finishing Touches

Trim any excess yarn and make sure all ends are securely fastened.

Completion

Now your crochet strawberry hair clip is complete! You can experiment with different colors and sizes based on your preference.
