Overview & Special Stitches
The Even Berry crochet stitch is a simple two row repeat which creates a beautiful textured pattern perfect for dish/wash cloths homewares or blankets.
- Berry Stitch: yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch. Yarn over and draw a loop through. Yarn over and draw through one loop on your hook. Yarn over and insert your hook into the same stitch, yarn over and draw a loop through. You will have five loops on your hook. Yarn over and draw a loop through all five stitches.
â‘ I have included a variation of the Even Berry Stitch (with pictures) that uses slip stitches in place of the sc between berry stitches and sc, ss in place of the row of sc. You will find the variation below the original pattern.
Foundation Chain
Chain any even number.
