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.
