Learn how to crochet the cluster stitch in single crochet. This easy crochet stitch creates a beautiful texture.

I am in love with how this Single Crochet Cluster Stitch worked up in my Child’s Winter Pom Hat. The texture combined with this gorgeous royal blue cotton yarn is delightful.

I wrote up a quick photo tutorial for the single crochet cluster stitch below. If you enjoy this cluster stitch you may also like to try the double crochet cluster stitch. I used this stitch in my popular Ottobre Shawlette pattern.

If you enjoy this stitch you may also like the Double Crochet Cluster stitch which is worked in a similar manner.

You’ll see the single crochet cluster is very similar to the single crochet three together, sc3tog.

There’s one important distinction though, the sc3tog is a decrease stitch. So you’ll end up with 2 less stitches.

The single crochet cluster is a cluster stitch that does not decrease. Since they’re made the same way, we have to replace the stitches we’re taking out.

To do so we simply, chain 2 to replace those lost two stitches.

Materials:

Any yarn and matching crochet hook.

In the photo tutorial I’m using: (1) I Love This Cotton yarn in Royalty and my Happy Crochet Hook in Pink Lemonade 4mm US size G.

Learn how to crochet the single crochet cluster. This simple stitch creates a beautiful texture.

Materials

Any yarn, I'm using a #4 medium worsted weight yarn.

Tools

A crochet hook to match your yarn, I'm using a 4mm hook.

Instructions

Insert your hook into the stitch to be worked.
Yarn over and pull up a loop (2 loops on your hook).
Now insert your hook into the next stitch.
Yarn over and pull up another loop (3 loops on your hook).
Next, insert your hook into the next stitch.
Yarn over and pull up a loop again (4 loops on your hook).
Last, yarn over a final time.
And pull that loop through all 4 loops on your hook.
Chain 2. Don’t forget this step or you’ll be decreasing instead! The chain 2 will replace the stitches you gathered in your cluster.
