Well hey there!

How to Crochet the Cluster Stitch

Hello again!

I’m here to share another photo tutorial with you today.

This is the Cluster Stitch!

This stitch happens to be another one of my favorites! For some reason, I absolutely love the way the cluster stitch looks when it’s finished. It isn’t the easiest stitch ever created or the fastest to execute, but it’s definitely worth the extra effort when you see the final result!
