Debbie Bliss Crochet Berry Stitch Stripe Jacket
What Is Being Made
This is a crochet cardigan jacket designed by Debbie Bliss, featuring a distinctive berry stitch stripe pattern. The garment is worked in a super chunky merino yarn and is available in seven size options ranging from chest 76-81cm (30-32 inches) to 137-142cm (54-56 inches). The finished jacket maintains a consistent length to back neck of 71cm (28 inches) across all sizes, with sleeve lengths varying slightly from 42-44cm (16.5-17.25 inches) depending on size.
Techniques Used
This intermediate-level project employs seamed construction with pieces worked flat rather than in the round. The pattern incorporates cable techniques as part of its structural design. The jacket is constructed by creating individual pieces—back, front, and sleeves—which are then joined together using seaming methods. The pattern includes turning chains and requires careful attention to working in both front loop only (FLO) and back loop only (BLO) positions to achieve the textured stripe effect.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch throughout this pattern is the Berry Stitch, which creates the signature textured appearance. The berry stitch is worked by inserting the hook into a stitch, pulling yarn through, inserting again in the same stitch, and pulling through to create multiple loops on the hook before drawing yarn through all loops at once. This creates a bumpy, dimensional texture ideal for chunky yarn. The pattern also uses standard double crochet (single crochet in US terminology), chain stitches, and slip stitches for joining and finishing. The berry stitch is worked in striped rows to create visual interest and texture variation throughout the garment.
Materials
This pattern calls for Debbie Bliss Super Chunky Merino yarn in Hot Pink, with yardage requirements based on size: 14 balls (100g/3.5oz each) for the smallest size up to 24 balls for the largest size. A 9mm (US M-13) crochet hook is required for construction. The pattern also specifies 8 stitch markers to help track pattern repeats and shaping throughout the project. Tension is critical for this design: the pattern requires 10 stitches and 10 rows to 10cm (4 inches) measured over the berry stitch stripe pattern using the specified hook size.
