Step-by-step Photo Instructions
For the purpose of this tutorial I’m suggesting that you chain a number of stitches that are multiple of 4. Each row starts with ch 1 & ends with sl st one for this tutorial.
For this stitch, all stitches are made in the back loop (BLO) of the stitches.
Slip stitch 4 stitches in the back loop (BLO). (Crochet in 3rd ch from hook, leaving the 2 turning chains as chains for row 1 & 2). Made in the back loop (BLO).
Crochet 1 single crochet in the BLO.
Chain 1 stitch.
Yarn over from back to front.
Locate the 2 posts/legs of your single crochet. One left & one right. Go through the left post & draw up a loop.
Yarn over from back to front. You now have 3 loops on the hook.
Pull yarn through the 2 first stitches on the hook. You now have 2 loops on the hook.
Yarn over from back to front.
Draw up a loop from the same post/leg of the single crochet. You now have 4 loops on the hook.
Yarn over from back to front.
Pull yarn through the first 3 loops on hook. You now have 2 loops on the hook.
Skip 1 stitch & draw up a loop from the next stitch (BLO). Made in the back loop (BLO). You now have 3 loops on the hook.
Yarn over from back to front. You now have 3 loops on the hook.
Pull yarn through the 3 loops on the hook. You now have 1 loop on the hook.
Crochet 1 single crochet in the BLO of next stitch. Made in the back loop (BLO).
Now you have finished 4 slips stitches in the BLO & a “Berry”. This is what you’re going to repeat for this stitch. On each row facing the right side you’re going to make a “Berry” on top of the slip stitches & the slip stitches on top of the berries.
Repeat steps 2 – 16 until you reach the end of the row.
Every other row (wrong side) contains just slip stitches. Slip stitch in back loop across this row. The photo is shown from the right side after finishing 1 row of slip stitches.
To crochet more rows, follow the written instructions above. Notice that you will start 3rd row with a berry instead of slip stitches.
