Step 1: Crocheting the Strawberry

1. Gather Materials

   • Yarn in red, green, and yellow
   • Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
   • Scissors
   • Yarn needle for weaving in ends

2. Start with a Magic Ring

   • Create a magic ring and secure it with a slip knot.

3. Crochet the Strawberry Shape

   • Round 1: Chain 1 and make 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
   • Round 2: Increase in each stitch (12 sc).
   • Round 3: [1 sc, increase] repeat around (18 sc).
   • Round 4: [2 sc, increase] repeat around (24 sc).
   • Rounds 5-6: Single crochet around without increases.

4. Finish the Strawberry

   • Change to green yarn.
   • Create a small green crown at the top by chaining and slip stitching into the last round.

Step 2: Crocheting the Daisy

1. Prepare for Daisy

   • Use white and yellow yarn.

2. Start with a Magic Ring

   • Repeat the magic ring process as done for the strawberry.

3. Create the Daisy Petals

   • Round 1: Make 8 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring, then pull tight.
   • Round 2: Slip stitch into the first dc to join, chain 1, and make a sc in each dc for a textured petal effect.

4. Finish the Daisy Center

   • Switch to yellow yarn and make a small circle with 6 sc in a new ring.
   • Attach to the center of the daisy.

Step 3: Making the Base of the Car Hanger

1. Create the Base

   • Use a sturdy yarn to ensure durability.
   • Chain a length that fits well for your car (about 30-40 chains).

2. Crochet the Base Shape

   • Single crochet back along the chain.
   • Continue with rows of single crochet until you reach the desired width.

3. Secure the Base

   • Fasten off the yarn and weave in ends for a clean finish.

Step 4: Crocheting the Leaves

1. Prepare the Leaf Yarn

   • Use green yarn.

2. Create the Leaves

   • Chain a length of 10.
   • Turn and make 1 dc in the 3rd chain from the hook, followed by 1 half double crochet (hdc) and 1 sc in the next chains.
   • Slip stitch to the end and fasten off.

3. Attach Leaves to the Base

   • Sew the leaves onto the base of the car hanger for a decorative touch.

Step 5: Attaching the Hanger

1. Prepare for Attachment

   • Ensure all elements (strawberry, daisy, leaves) are securely stitched.

2. Attach the Hanger

   • Use the remaining yarn to create a loop at the top of the base.
   • Make sure it’s large enough to fit around your rearview mirror.

3. Final Adjustments

   • Check for stability and make any necessary adjustments.
