Fruit Pi C2C Crochet Afghan Block 3
Block 3 of the Fruit Pi Crochet Along is the Strawberry Pi C2C Crochet Block! I love the way this little pink berry turned out. It looks good enough to eat! I played around with adding little yellow seeds to the block. They were rather distracting so I chose to not include them in the final pattern.
If you prefer a more subtle approach, check out the alternate blocks available in the full Fruit Pi C2C Crochet Afghan in my Etsy shop. I’ve also included additional fruit options: peach, pear, plum, and cherry—that’s an additional 12 blocks!

Crochet the square starting from the bottom right corner of the chart. Row-by-row written instructions are below.
After you finish crocheting the block, crochet one row of single crochet in BEIGE around the entire block. See Adding a Single Crochet Edge around a Finished C2C Block for how I crochet around the edge.
Double Crochet Edging
As with the previous blocks, we’re going to add a final row of edging. This time in CHOCOLATE.
- With the right side of block facing you, attach CHOCOLATE yarn into any single crochet stitch using a double crochet.
- Double Crochet (DC) to the end of the row.
- In the corner stitch, work DC 1, Chain (CH) 2, DC 1.
- Repeat steps 2-3 until you have crocheted around the entire block.
- Slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet. Fasten off.
Enjoy!
