Part 2 Branch part - Ch×48

NoteThe tutorial is divided into two parts: a blue blueberry part + a brown/green branch part, the two parts are combined to make a blueberry with a branch. The branch part requires the crocheter to insert the crochet hook through one of the R1 stitches, and through out the center of the MR, crocheting one Sl st followed by 8 CH.Crocheter can follow this tutorial to make multiple blueberries with branches and thread them into a string, which is a blueberry string. 

Body Filling
After crocheting R9, the opening will be relatively small and difficult to fill the ball. So we need to stuff with cotton/thread after R8.

Stitches
The main stitches for each round are listed below, for a separate lesson please refer to the video link below.

Count
This tutorial on spiral crochet requires memorizing the initial stitch of each Round, which can be aided with the aid of tools such as marker clip.
