Dear Artsy Craftsy Friends ,
I am so glad you came across my new pattern that will show you how to crochet a combination of single crochet stitches , double crochet stitches , chain spaces and clusters . Please note that the following instructions do not teach you how to crochet an actual pattern for an item , but it will guide you in the usage of the cluster stitch in a pattern . It is up to you how and where you are going to use the following combination of stitches .
Level: intermediate.
Abbreviations and how to :
ch – chain ;
ch sp – chain space ;
sc – single crochet ;
dc – double crochet ;
YO – yarn over ;
cluster – combination of 3dc only partially completed , worked in the same space recommended in the instructions ; ( YO , insert hook in sp recommended , YO and pull out a loop , YO and pull a loop through first two loops on the hook , do not complete the double crochet as usual , two loops left on the hook ) X 3 times ; YO and pull out a loop through all 4 loops on the hook .
Work a loose foundation chain from a multiple of 6 chains , plus 2 extra chains to complete the pattern .
Row 1 : Work 1sc in the 2nd ch of the foundation chain ; * skip next 2ch of the foundation chain ; work ( cluster , 3ch , cluster ) in the next ch of the foundation chain ; 1ch ; skip next 2ch of the foundation chain ; 1sc in the next ch of the foundation chain * ; repeat from * to * across the row ; ch4 ; turn .
