In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the messy cluster stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a double crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a double crochet three together stitch. The messy cluster stitch is a repeat of one row. This stitch is a reversible crochet stitch and it looks the same on both sides. The fabric turns out lacy and light.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn Diamond mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: sea green 706, and a 2.0 mm hook.
