Crochet Berry Plant Tutorial
Skill Level: Intermediate. You will start with a slip knot and a chain stitch. Crochet the leaf with single, half-double, and double crochet stitches, with a pico stitch for the tip. The berry can be started with either a magic ring or a double knot. Both the leaf and the berry need a slip stitch to close rounds.
The berry also uses increases and decreases. The video also shows a technique for hiding the yarn tail while working. Working around the craft wire and using the glue gun is also needed.
Tutorial Timing: Approximately 13 Minutes Only (perfect for learning crafting in general and crocheting different shapes using the basic crochet stitches specifically.)
Personalization Tips: For the leaf and berry, you can use different shades like bright pinks and light greens for spring. Crochet a leaf at the tip of the stem and any number of pairs.
Pattern Type: An on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.

How is it done?
Start by crocheting five leaves with green yarn, each beginning with a slip knot and chain 12, followed by single, half-double, and double crochets. Repeat on both sides, and use a slip stitch to finish each leaf. For the berries, use an orange yarn to create a tight circle with single crochets, followed by rounds of increases and single stitches.
Embroider a dot on each berry for detail. Assemble the pieces to form a branch with five leaves and ten berries in vibrant colors.
