The berry stitch itself is created in a similar way to a puff stitch. It's an intermediate level stitch, which means it's suitable for all those feeling confident enough to try something new. Once you've got the hang of the berry stitch itself there are few further difficulties involved.

Materials
You can use most yarns for this stitch, though avoid the chunkier weights as they will make the berry stitches bulky and difficult to achieve. A worsted or DK weight would produce a nice effect. Check your manufacturer's band for hook size suggestions. You will also need a pair of scissors and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
