Cluster Stitch Crochet: 74 Cluster Crochet Stitch Patterns
It can get pretty boring to do the same crochet stitches over and over again in an endless monotony of hook through stitch. That’s why it’s great that there are so many stitches to learn and create! If you’re looking to crochet different stitches than just the normal single and double crochets, the Cluster Stitch Crochet: 74 Cluster Crochet Stitch Patterns collection is for you.
Cluster stitch crochet is just what it sounds like—a group of crochet stitches that are clustered together at the top. When you learn to crochet this stitch, you'll find that instead of completing every stitch in a series, you leave the loops on the hook, then after a certain number, finish the stitches together. Cluster stitch is great because it can be used for many types of stitches and for many numbers of stitches. This stitch is triangular and ends up looking like an upside down shell stitch, which makes it a great stitch to use on its own or in combination with others. And, unlike bobble stitch that is all completed in one stitch, cluster stitch is more spread out, making it flatter and easier to combine with other flat stitches.
