Overview & Special Stitches
Cluster stitch is a 2 row repeat perfect for blanket making.
- Cluster Stitch: (CS): yo, insert hook, yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through 2 loops on the hook three times, yo and pull through all 4 loops on the hook.
- In my opinion this stitch looks better in a solid colour or an evenly variegated yarn.
Foundation Chain
Chain any even number.
Pattern
Row 1:
- sc in second ch from the hook (skipped ch does not count as st), sc in next ch
- *1 ch, sk 1 ch, sc in next ch.
- Repeat from * until 3 ch remaining, 1 ch, sk 1 ch, sc in last 2 ch.
- Turn.
Row 2:
- 4 ch (counts as dc and 1 ch), sk st at base of 4-ch and next st, CS in ch sp.
- *1 ch, sk sc, CS in ch sp.
- Repeat from * until 2 sts remain.
- 1 ch, skip sc, dc in last st.
- Turn.
Row 3:
- 1 ch (does not count as st), sc in first st, sc in ch sp before first cluster.
- *1 ch, sc in next ch sp between clusters.
