How to Crochet The Beautiful Berry Stitch
Are you looking for a crochet stitch that provides lots of texture and a rustic, slightly messy look? If so, you’ll love the Berry Stitch!
This stitch offers a nice thick texture with a rugged appearance, making it a unique alternative to the cleaner-looking puff or popcorn stitches.
What Makes the Berry Stitch Special?
The Berry Stitch is a modification of a single crochet and alternates with a regular single crochet to create its distinctive scrunched-down texture.
This stitch repeat can be worked with any size of yarn—simply use the hook size recommended for your chosen yarn.
A Classic Crochet Stitch with Timeless Appeal
The Berry Stitch is a gem found in many classic crochet books. These books are invaluable resources for understanding the origins and proper techniques for timeless stitches.
Maggie Weldon’s video tutorial brings this beautiful stitch to life, making it accessible for crocheters of all levels.
How to Create the Berry Stitch
The Berry Stitch is a variation of a double crochet stitch, worked as follows:
- Make a loop, yarn over (YO), insert the hook into the designated space, YO, and pull up a loop.
- YO again and pull through one loop on the hook.
- YO, insert the hook into the same designated space again, YO, and pull up another loop.
- YO and pull through all five loops on the hook to complete the stitch.
Incorporating the Berry Stitch into Patterns
To make the Berry Stitch work effectively, you’ll need to incorporate it into a pattern. Some classic crochet books suggest closing the Berry Stitch with a chain 1.
While Maggie Weldon’s pattern doesn’t require this, you can experiment with the technique if you prefer that look.
