Even Berry Stitch Technique

For the even berry stitch, you need a single crochet stitch between each of the even berry stitches. You also need to alternate with a row between each of the even berry rows; otherwise, the texture will not be on the same side.

You can make a larger or smaller crochet item by using an odd number for the chain.
