How To: Crochet The Strawberry Stitch – Easy Tutorial

As a tiny tot, cultivating my newly planted strawberry patch never ceased to make me giddy with excitement. Every other day I watched in awe has the tiny red clusters started to appear, waiting (rather impatiently) for the juicy fruits to ripen… This impatience may have led to me consuming my fair share of “green-ish” strawberries.

Spring at this very moment is in full bloom, which is always accompanied by one of my favourite times of year; strawberry season!The Strawberry Stitch has such a quirky and whimsical texture to it. You’ll immediately notice how this combination of stitches creates an adorable “strawberry patch” design, as the green resembles the leaves, whilst the red bobbles are the delicious berries… Just imagine all those vibrant baby blankets and pretty scarves you could crochet using this stitch?

Learning new crochet stitches and techniques is always fun, don’t you think? Luckily for you, this helpful video will guide you through all the necessary steps to learn the “Strawberry Stitch” (in an easy to follow speed), as you continue on your ever-growing crochet adventure!

    I love the Strawberry Stitch and am planning on using it for child's summer skirt using cotton yarn. I think the stitch Apache Tears is very pretty but looks super difficult. I would like to learn it though!
