Materials Needed

Crochet hook suitable for your yarn
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Instructions
Step 1: The Base – Empty Squares
Begin by creating a base of empty squares, which will serve as the background for your grape bunches.
1st Row: Crochet a row of empty squares (chain 3 and double crochet into the base).
2nd Row: Start with 2 empty squares.
Chain 3, work 1 single crochet, and chain 9.
Skip 3 squares and close with a single crochet.
Repeat this sequence, adjusting the number of repeats to fit the size of your dishcloth.
End with 2 more empty squares to complete the row.
Step 2: The Popcorn Stitch
The popcorn stitch will form the texture of the grapes. To make the popcorn stitch:
Work 5 double crochets into the same stitch.
Remove the hook from the loop, insert it into the first double crochet of the group, and pull the loop through.
Close the popcorn with a slip stitch.
Step 3: The Grape Bunch
Now, let’s create the grape bunch shape:
1st Row: On the right side of your work, make 7 popcorn stitches, each separated by 2 chains.
2nd Row: Make 6 popcorn stitches, aligning them with the previous row.
3rd Row: Make 5 popcorn stitches.
4th Row: Make 4 popcorn stitches.
5th Row: Make 3 popcorn stitches.
6th Row: Make 2 popcorn stitches.
7th Row: Finish with 1 popcorn stitch.
This gradual decrease creates the characteristic bunch shape of grapes.
Step 4: The Leaf
Finish your grape bunches with a charming leaf design:
Chain 10 to start.
1st Row: Return with 9 single crochets, placing 5 single crochets into the last chain to create the rounded edge.
2nd Row: Continue with single crochets. Skip 2 stitches to form the first “tooth” of the leaf.
Following Rows: Continue working single crochets along the edge, making increases in the rounded part of the leaf to keep it straight.
Ensure each row creates prominent teeth to resemble a vine leaf.
Step 5: Assembly
Arrange the grape bunches on your base as desired.
Attach the leaves around the bunches to mimic the natural appearance of vines.
Use a tapestry needle and yarn to sew the pieces together securely.
