Then, you crochet the rat's body and attach everything together, including big, adorable eyes and a little tail. Next, you make a small red strawberry with a green top and attach it to the rat, making it look like the rat is holding it.

Whether for yourself, a gift, or a decoration, this crocheted rat brings a smile to anyone who sees it.
