Chaos Crochet Challenge- Even Berry Stitch

Welcome to the Chaos Challenge Crochet Along—where the spinning wheel is in charge and anything can happen!

What is a Chaos Blanket? Instead of carefully planning every row, we’ll let chance choose the yarn color, crochet stitch, and number of rows. No overthinking, no second-guessing—just spin the wheel and see where it takes us!

I’m creating my own Chaos Blanket using a special set of rules, and you’re invited to join the fun. Grab your yarn and crochet hook—it’s time to embrace the chaos and create something completely unique!

Are you brave enough to let the wheel decide?

I will be posting instructions and links to instructional videos for each stitch as we choose them. Sound like fun? I will be posting each round here on my website, in my Facebook Group, Facebook Page, and on Instagram! Follow my social media or come back here each week and join in on the fun!

Round Sixteen

I began with a spin of the wheel to choose which of the 50 stitches would be used for round fifteen. You can download the free Crochet Stitch list HERE. Chaos Crochet Stitches. I used the Free Spinning Wheel Random Number Generator that I found here to choose which stitch.

The spinning wheel chose number 39. The stitch I will be using for this round is called the Even Berry Stitch! I closed my eyes and chose a color from my bowl of yarn colors…It is now decided! Round sixteen will be in Glacier, the stitch will be the Even Berry Stitch and I rolled dice for the number of rows and it will be 5 rows! Let’s get started!

Adjustment Row

Before we begin round sixteen, we need to make an adjustment row from the previous round. I used the Glacier yarn to create a row of single crochets. Also be sure to count your stitches during this row to be sure that you still have your original amount of stitches.

Even Berry Stitch

Nice stitch for added texture. I’m not sure I’d like to do a whole blanket in this stitch as it seems to be a yarn eater, but it definitely adds great texture. At least for me, it does work up a bit looser, so I went back down to the G hook. We are trying to keep the edges as even as we can and sometimes it helps to raise or lower the size of your hook depending upon the stitch. In this instance, I went down a hook size at a size (G) in order to keep my blanket edges as even as possible. Keep in mind that everyone’s tension is different, so play with it and see what works best for you!

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Even Berry Stitch

If you prefer video, I found one at Rich Textures Crochet.

Row 1: Chain 1, sc across. Chain 1 and turn.

Row 2: Slip Stitch into first stitch. In next stitch, create a Berry Stitch (yarn over, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop- 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over, pull through first loop on. hook- still 3 loops on hook. Yarn over, insert hook into same stitch and pull up a loop- 5 loops on hook. Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops. Chain 1 to lock). Slip stitch into next stitch. Alternate Berry Stitch and slip stitches across the row. Chain 1 and turn.

Row 3: *Sc into top of Slip Stitches and make a slip stitch into tops of Berry Stitches. Repeat from *across.
