Crochet Berry Stitch

Step 1

Start with a slip knot. Make an even number of chains for your foundation. I worked 20 for this sample. Single crochet (sc) in each chain, starting in the second chain from the hook.

Step 2

Turn work and chain 1. Single crochet into the first stitch. Now create your first "berry." Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull through. (3 loops on hook)Yarn over. Only pull through the first loop.

Step 3

Yarn over, insert hook into same space, and pull through (5 loops on hook).

Step 4

YO, Pull your hook through all five loops. The berry will form on the rear side of the work.

Step 5

Place a single crochet after the "berry" and alternate between single crochet and berry.The row's final stitch should be a single crochet.

Step 6

Turn. Chain 1 and single crochet in each stitch till you reach the finish.

Step 7

Alternate between a single crochet row and a berry row for a strong berry effect.
