🌿 Eco-Friendly Crafting
What makes this crochet pattern eco-friendly and sustainable?
THE YARN: I use only sustainable and eco-friendly yarn that has been ethically grown/raised and processed, putting the people and the planet first. This is why I chose 100% natural yarn for this pattern.
THE STUFFING: Little projects like this are perfect for stuffing with all those yarn ends and scraps you’ve been keeping! Or, you can use fiber strips from old napkins and rags you’re about to throw out. Alternatively, try using recycled polyester or recycled cotton!
HANDMADE FOR LONGEVITY: Creating your own raspberries promotes mindful consumption. This durable, handmade squishy berry reduces the need for mass-produced alternatives.
THE SLOW YARN MOVEMENT: I’m participating in the Slow Yarn Movement. There’s far too much to talk about here, but please take a few minutes to learn about what this means by reading the article I wrote about the Slow Yarn Movement as part of my 6-part Sustainable Crochet Series.
If you’re interested in learning more about sustainable crochet you can read all about it in the 6-part series I wrote covering everything about Sustainable Crochet and how to implement it into your own crafting starting today!

Rnd 1: st 4 sc in a magic circle [4]
Rnd 2: inc in each st around [8]
Rnd 3: (sc in next st, inc in next st) x4 [12]
Rnd 4-6: sc in each st around [12]
Rnd 7: sl st in each st around [12]
Invisible fasten: Do not fasten off yet. Snip yarn, leaving 4 inches. Remove hook and insert it inside to outside underneath the first slip stitch of rnd 7. Pull the loop to the inside of the berry and fasten off by pulling the yarn end through the loop on the inside. Weave in end.
Drupelets With Stem
The leaves, stem and berry are all worked separately and then stitched together.
BERRY:
Rnd 1: st 4 in a magic circle [4]
Rnd 2: inc in each st around [8]

Rnd 7: (sc in next st, dec in next st) x4 [8]
Sl st to next st. Snip yarn, leaving a 5 inch tail for sewing on the stem. Stuff berry.

Close the circle of leaves by placing a sl st under the first chain of the first leaf.
ASSEMBLY: Insert your hook bottom to top, through the middle of the circle of leaves and pull through the yarn ends of the stem. Gather all loose ends and make a knot with all of them, tightly against the underside and snip to about 1/2″. Using a tapestry needle, use the yarn tail of the berry to sew the stem onto the top of the berry. Sew through one loop under the leaf, and then only through the back loop of round 7 on the berry – all the way around. Pull yarn to the inside and snip.
Clusters of 3 Berries with Stem:

- Make 3 berries per the “berry with stem” above – but only the berries, not the stem or leaves. Lightly stuff.

Ch 11.
Leaf #2: (leaf 2 is similar to leaf 1 but in reverse order)
Row 1: Sl st in the first ch from the hook, sc in the next ch, hdc in the next ch, dc in the next 2 ch, tr in the next 3 ch, sl st in the next ch. Continuing on the other side of the ch, tr in the next 3 ch, dc in the next 2 ch, hdc in the next ch, sc in the next ch, sl st in the next ch.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
STEMS:
Slip knot onto your hk and rejoin the yarn by, inserting the hk into the stitch between the leaves and completing a single crochet
Chain 14
Stem #1:
Row 1: (sl st in the first bump from the hk, and the second bump, ch 2) x5
You will have 5 little leaves. Close the circle of leaves by making a sl st through two loops of the next available ch, directly before the first little leaf. Sl st in next 5 chains, ch 7.
Stem #2
Row 1: repeat leaves as with row 1 of stem #1, close the circle with a sl st. Sl st in the next 4 chains, ch 7.
Stem #3
