Crochet strawberry stitch

In this post I want to show you this lovely stitch. I found it on the web as strawberry stitch. The original version is crocheted in Tunisian Crochet and from the first time I see it, I knew that I have to try it in regular crochet. This is the final result.

It´s very easy to crochet, only uses single and double crochet. The most dificult part are the changes of colour. I choose to hide the yarn of the colour that I wasn´t using behind the stitches while I was crocheting to avoid cutting the yarn in each row. This I recommend for small projects, for bigger projects or  if you just do not want to complicate, I recommend cutting the yarn and start each row with a new one. 

Here you can see the charted pattern of this stitch:
