In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the raspberry stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. For this stitch you should know how to make a single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a front post single crochet. The raspberry stitch is a repeat of two rows. The fabric turns out dense and it has a nice texture.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn DIAMOND 8/4 mercerized cotton 100% 50 g. Color: 434 (pink), and a 2.0 mm hook.
