finish off, leave a long end for sewing and sew closed

for chocolate dipped strawberry, work rnds 1-5 of strawberry in brown yarn

then switch to red yarn for remainding rnds

take leaves part and sew firmly to tp of strawberry, near rnds 2 & 3

if you want, 'paint' black seeds on the strawberry with a thin black marker or pen
