🧵 The Complete Kit
The DMC Summer Strawberries Amigurumi Kit is a complete crochet kit designed by Spanish designer Nuria Picos, known for her poetic, contemporary amigurumi designs. This kit lets you make an adorable decorative plant featuring crocheted strawberries, perfect for brightening up shelves, bookcases and side tables—with no maintenance required. Everything you need is included: high-quality DMC yarns, a crochet hook, needle, safety eyes and multilingual instructions, also available in Italian via QR code.
The kit contains 2 x 20 g balls of DMC Happy Cotton, 5 x 10 m skeins of DMC Cotone Lanato and 1 x 2 m skein of DMC Mouliné Spécial, all made from 100% cotton. The 3 mm crochet hook is included, so you can get started right away without buying anything else. This is an intermediate-level project and requires familiarity with basic crochet stitches: chain, single crochet, double crochet, and increases/decreases.
🧬 Technical Composition: Why It Works
DMC Happy Cotton is a super-soft, 100% cotton DK yarn, ideal for amigurumi because it holds its shape without making your project stiff. Cotton is a natural, breathable and washable fibre, perfect for creating decorative pieces that last. The 20 g balls offer generous yardage (around 43 m each) and make it possible to work with even tension—essential for creating a dense fabric that hides the stuffing.
DMC Cotone Lanato and DMC Mouliné Spécial are finer yarns used for details such as leaves, stems and decorative embroidery. Combining three types of DMC yarn ensures a professional finish with varied textures and a realistic three-dimensional effect. All the yarns are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, safe for contact with skin and suitable for projects intended for children.
📦 What’s Included in the Kit
This really is a complete kit: along with the DMC yarns (Happy Cotton, Cotone Lanato and Mouliné Spécial), you’ll find a 3 mm crochet hook, a wool needle for sewing the pieces together and safety eyes to give the little strawberries their expression. The instructions are printed in English, French and Spanish, but the QR code gives you easy access to the Italian, German, Portuguese and Dutch versions directly on your smartphone.
The only item not included is the stuffing, which you can purchase separately in our dedicated section. We recommend using polyester fibre fill or synthetic wadding, adding it in small amounts to avoid lumps and achieve a soft, even shape. The finished project measures approximately 15–18 cm tall, making it perfect for displaying on a shelf or giving as a gift to someone who loves handmade décor.
🧶 Recommended Technique
The 3 mm crochet hook is ideal for working with DMC Happy Cotton at a medium tension: the stitches will be compact but not too tight, allowing you to hide the stuffing without making your work stiff. If you’re new to amigurumi, we recommend making a swatch to check your tension. The stitches should be even and the fabric smooth, with no visible gaps between them.
The project is worked in the round, starting with a magic ring and gradually increasing to create the strawberries’ spherical shapes. The leaves and stems are made with Cotone Lanato, worked in flat rows and then sewn onto the main pieces. The estimated time to complete is 4–6 hours for those with intermediate crochet experience. The instructions include step-by-step diagrams and photos of the finished project to guide you through every stage.
✨ Why Choose the DMC Summer Strawberries Amigurumi Kit
Unlike many amigurumi kits that only include yarn, this complete crochet kit contains everything you need: yarn, crochet hook, needle, safety eyes and multilingual instructions. There’s no need to search for compatible materials or worry about choosing the wrong sizes: just open the box and get started. The Nuria Picos design is known for its delicate, contemporary style, distinct from classic kawaii amigurumi: the strawberries have realistic proportions and carefully crafted details, making this a perfect project for anyone looking for something original.
DMC yarns are certified and professional quality: the cotton is soft, durable and retains its vibrant colour even after many washes. The finished plant won’t wilt, need water or require sunlight, and adds a touch of handmade colour to your home every day. It’s also a creative gift idea for anyone who loves crochet or wants to try amigurumi with a well-structured, guided project.
🎨 What You Can Make
With this kit, you can create a handmade decorative plant with crocheted strawberries, complete with a pot, leaves and stems. The finished project is perfect for decorating shelves, bookcases, desks or bedside tables, adding a touch of nature without any upkeep. You can also customise the strawberry colours or add extra details using yarn from your stash, making each plant unique.
👩🎨 Who It’s For
The kit is rated intermediate level (3/4) and requires familiarity with basic crochet stitches: chain, single crochet, double crochet, increases and decreases. If you’ve already made at least one simple amigurumi project (such as a ball or a heart), this kit is perfect for taking the next step and trying more complex shapes and finely worked details. It’s not recommended for complete beginners, but the instructions are clear and well illustrated, so with a little practice it’s accessible even to those with just a few months of experience.
The kit is popular with anyone who loves making creative gifts: hobbyists looking for original ideas, artisans who sell handmade creations, and mums and grandmothers who want to make personalised home décor. It’s also a great choice for anyone who wants to explore the world of amigurumi with a guided project, without having to search for free patterns online or gather materials from different sources.
