    4th rnd: Ch 3. (Yoh and draw up a loop in same sp as sl st. Yoh and draw
    through 2 loops on hook) twice. Yoh and draw through all 3 loops on hook – Beg Cluster made. *Ch 2. Miss next dc. (Yoh and draw up a loop. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times in next dc. Yoh and draw through all 4 loops on hook – Cluster made. Rep from * around. Ch 2. Miss last dc. Join with sl st to Beg Cluster.
    5th rnd: Sl st in next ch-2 sp. (Beg Cluster. Ch 2. Cluster) in same sp as sl st. *Ch 2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp. Ch 2. (Cluster. Ch 2. Cluster) in next ch-2 sp. Rep from * around, ending with Ch 2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp. Ch 2. Join with sl st to Beg Cluster.
    6th rnd: Sl st in next ch-2 sp. (Beg Cluster. Ch 2. Cluster) in same sp as sl st. *(Ch 2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp) twice. Ch 2. (Cluster. Ch 2. Cluster) in next ch-2 sp. Rep from * around, ending with (Ch 2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp) twice. Ch 2. Join with sl st to Beg Cluster.
    7th rnd: Sl st in next ch-2 sp. (Beg Cluster. Ch 2. Cluster) in same sp as sl st. *(Ch 2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp) 3 times. Ch 2. (Cluster. Ch 2. Cluster) in next ch-2 sp. Rep from * around, ending with (Ch 2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp) 3 times. Ch 2. Join with sl st to Beg Cluster.

Cluster in next ch-2 sp) 29 times. Ch 2. (Cluster. Ch 2. Cluster) in next ch-2 sp. Rep from * around, ending with (Ch 2. Cluster in next ch-2 sp) 29 times. Ch 2. Join with sl st to Beg Cluster” has been worked.

There is something seriously wrong with this pattern. The clusters have got to be missing a step or something because if you do what it says, you do not have enough loops on the hook to do the final cluster step.

I've never crocheted a round Blanket before, but I like the way this pattern reads and I think the triple cluster stitch used in the border will look beautiful. I'm putting this Marshmallow Baby Blanket on my to do list. It looks and reads well and should come out great. Thank you for this beautiful free crochet pattern.

This is a unique round blanket for baby. Thanks for the pattern that's right in front of the page. I want to try this soon, can't wait.

I'm having problems understanding the boarder of this blanket. The finishing instructions are confusing to me. Can someone help? If I had an enlarged pattern it might help.

How do you do a half double crochet?

yo go threw 1 yo go threw 2 yo go to threw 2 half double crochet

Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull stitch up, yarn over, pull thru three stitches on hook.

Why doesn't this pattern say how many clusters there should be in each round?
