Raspberry Stitch Knitting Pattern
This Raspberry Stitch Knitting Pattern creates a pretty bobble texture. The stitch is fun since it looks like little berries, especially when knitting it up in red, pink, and purple yarn colors.
This vintage texture is also known as the Trinity, Astrakhan, Cluster, Blackberry, and Bramble Stitch.
