In this free step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the uneven large cluster stitch. This stitch is a solid crochet stitch with a nice texture. It is also a reversible crochet stitch that looks the same on both sides. It creates dense, durable fabric and works great for potholders, washcloths, decorative pillow covers, scarves, cardigans, ponchos and other projects that need warmth, structure, and durability.
This crochet stitch tutorial includes detailed photo instructions. The uneven large cluster stitch is a repeat of one row. The tutorial below shows how to make a double crochet five together stitch.
Materials and tools
Yarn: For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: eucalyptus. However, you can use your favorite yarn depending on the crochet project.
Hook: I use a 2.0 mm hook. If you are using a different yarn, choose the hook size that is recommended on your yarn label.
