Really wanted to make this bought the yarn hook. But the pattern doesn't make sense - if anyone has actually completed this please let me know if the instructions are correct

How do I make a cluster?
AFC Editor Julia

Hi Lizzie, Each cluster stitch is a little different depending on the specific project. For this project, the cluster stitch is explained in Rnd 6 of the baby booties: (Yoh and draw up a loop. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times in next dc. Yoh and draw through all loops on hook cluster made. Hope that helps! Julia, editor for AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns

Even with the editor's explanation I remain confused as to the cluster. There are no dc to anchor a stitch.

In answer to another post saying this is not a pattern for a baby because of the open holes , let me say this. I don't think it was intended as a bed or crib blanket. It is meant to be used when baby is dressed and going out, like a christening or a special event. It is too pretty to just use on a bed.

This is perfect for a christening or baby shower gift. Good thing for crocheters the pattern is just right on the same page. I will pin this set for baby.

This is certainly a beautiful blanket but not for a baby! Fingers and toes will get caught in the big holes!
