I followed the modifications in various projects to turn the single strawberry into a bookmark. For the leaf, I followed this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/RobinHill/l-e-a-v-e-s. using the alternate decrease noted at the bottom. I held the yarns for the strawberry, leaf and stem double for the project.

The flower was crocheted with white embroidery floss and a 2.25mm hook. Make a magic circle then pull the working yarn through the circle and “chain 2, make one double crochet, chain 2 and slip stitch into the circle” five times for five petals. Pull tight and secure ends when finished. The yellow center is a double knot of double stranded fingering yarn pulled through and secured.

It turned out to be a wonderful gift and decoration.
