In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the single crochet 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 single crochet. The tutorial below shows how to make a single crochet two together stitch. The single crochet cluster stitch is a repeat of two rows. This crochet stitch is easy to make and it is suitable for beginners. The fabric turns out quite dense and it has a beautiful texture.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: curry, and a 2.0 mm hook.
