SPECIAL STITCHES
2-Double Crochet Cluster Stitch:
Step #1. Start with a dc st, but do not pull through the last 2 loops (you should have 2 loops remain on the hook).
Step #2. In the same st, rep step #1 with working a dc but pulling through only the first 2 loops (you should have 3 loops remain on the hook).
Step #3. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook.
3-Double Crochet Cluster Stitch:
Step #1. Start with a dc st, but do not pull through the last 2 loops (you should have 2 loops remain on the hook).
Step #2. In the same st, rep step #1 with working a dc but pulling through only the first 2 loops (you should have 3 loops remain on the hook).
Step #3. In the same st, rep step #1 again (you should have 4 loops remain on the hook).
Step #4. Lastly, yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on the hook.
One cluster completed! In summary, you’re starting a cluster of 3 dc stitches in the same stitch, but not finishing any of them until the end.
