Ever wonder why certain crochet stitches are better for some patterns and not others? Does using a particular stitch really make a difference in the finished product? Even if you are not a crocheter, having a little bit of stitch knowledge can help you pick the best quality product.
Berry-tastic!
The crochet berry stitch is a variation on a cluster stitch (several double crochet stitches gathered together in one stitch). I love that it's fairly simple, but creates a fantastic texture. It's not as textured as the bobble stitch (see Flowering Bobble Beanie or Witches Hat), so it's a good in between.
Coming up berries
It's plain to see why choosing the berry stitch is a great choice. The pattern gives any item a wonderful "quilted feel" with it's square design. Which is why I chose this specific stitch to create items such as the Santa Baby Cocoon.
