Bramble Stitch | How to Crochet

The Bramble Stitch crochet pattern features a couple of really great, textured crochet stitches.

One of those stitches is one of my favourites: the herringbone single crochet! I’ve used this stitch in a few different crochet patterns including recently in the Cameron Beanie and the Cameron Scarf. The stitch creates a braided-like texture that is pleasing to the eye.

The other crochet stitch pattern featured in the Bramble stitch is the crossed half double crochet. It provides a bit of variation to the design and has an easy rhythym to it when you work it.

The two stitches together creates a beautiful design that is not quite the same on both sides, but that is equally pretty! I would not hesitate to use it in a project where both sides might be on display.

The Materials:

For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn in a single colour. It is a worsted weight yarn. You could also work this pattern in two or more colours. I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. In the video tutorial beow you will see me working with a Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan. However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.

Thank you so much for stopping by! If you enjoy the tutorial below, be sure to also check out some of the many other crochet stitch tutorials on my site and pin this for later! You may wish to start with the beautiful Crossed Double and Post Stitch.

Pattern Notes:

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a solid colour.

This pattern is written in American crochet terms.

To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need an odd number of stitches for your foundation chain.

For example, ch 31.

Row One:

Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook, hsc in the next st and each remaining st across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Two:

Hdc in the 1st st, *sk next st, hdc in the next st, hdc in the previous skipped st working around the st just made; Rpt from * across until 1 st remains, hdc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.

Row Three:

Sc in the 1st st, hsc in the next st and each remaining st across. Ch 1, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows two and three for the pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
