Crochet Cluster Single Stitch
Materials:
- Lightweight yarn (number 3)
- 5 mm crochet hook
Pattern Overview:
- It's a two-row repeating pattern, using only single crochets to create a delicate fabric suitable for many projects. This pattern is worked up in multiples of two.
Pattern Instructions:
Foundation Row:
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain an even number (for a sample, chain 12).
Row 1:
- Skip the first chain from the hook, then single crochet (sc) into the next chain.
- Chain one, skip one chain, then single crochet in the next chain.
- Repeat chain one, skip one chain, single crochet in the next chain until you have two chains left.
- Skip the second-to-last chain, single crochet in the last chain.
- Chain one and turn your work.
Row 2:
- You'll work this row in clusters, drawing loops from three locations: the first single crochet from the previous row, the chain one space, and the next single crochet.
- Start by drawing up a loop in each of the three locations mentioned (first sc, chain one space, next sc).
- You should have four loops on your hook; yarn over and pull through all four loops.
- Chain one.
For the next clusters:
- Always start in the same single crochet that you've just finished (the one at the base of the chain one space you just made), go to the chain one space, then into the next single crochet to draw up loops, yarn over, and pull through all four loops on the hook.
- Continue down the row, making sure to chain one after each cluster.
- When you reach the end of the row, make sure the last action is a standalone single crochet in the last stitch to keep the edges straight.
- Chain one and turn your work.
Subsequent Rows:
- Repeat Row 1 and Row 2 for the pattern.
