Crochet Double Crochet Cluster Stitch, 3 methods 

Wow 🤩 this video is better than the former one 🧶❣️

I commented on your Bobble stitch video about a cluster stitch, using instructions in a pattern from 1978. It makes clusters close & go into a sc next to the cluster, creating a big bobble or popcorn look that puffs out on one side only. Like your bobble, you y/o but pull thru as if about to make a dc, hold until you do 5 dcs halfway, then y/o and pull thru all 6 sts on the hook. When you sc in the next stitch, you have a nice big bobble. Not the same as your cluster here, but it's a nice look.

Clear, concise, and great video, just how we like em.....thanks so much

Thanks Beth for showing us. I knew about the first one but not the other way. Finished my granny squire lap blanket for Hospice. It was fun and now I am doing another one but a different pattern. Loving it. Also making a head band with 2 colors tunesian crochet like you showed us. Thanks for all your tutorials.Happy crocheting.

I'm so glad you got it figured out!

Thank you so much for explaining this! I've been stuck on a patterns that says, "Working over the ch 3 from the previous row, work 3 dc sts into the center ch of the skipped ch section of the starting chain directly below..." and now I understand.

Great explanation and video! Thanks for getting me off and stitching on my new project!

you are the best! thanks so much for all of your help

Thank you Beth, you are a doll :D I took the bull by the horns this morning & I think I figured out the pattern. There was a ch3 in the middle of the 2 dc cluster & I could not find a pattern anywhere that had those extra chains. Also, silly me...I wasn't suppose to crochet into the fpdc itself, duh! I'm gonna check that off as a "newbie" mistake. I tend to OVER think things :p Have a Great week-end! Patrice

thx. alot i love the way u explain

You make what is in the ( ) all in the same stitch. It's similar to the corner of a granny square or the peaks in the ripple stitches.

Just perfect. Thank you for this video. Clear and informative like usual ^_^

Wondercul video. Very helpful. I'm wondering though when closing the cluster with a ch 1 does that chain 1 count in the stitch count. For the next round/row to we concider that a stitch or hop over it to the next stitch?

Hi Beth! Hope it's a nice day in Tx, it is here in Ky :-) I actually do have a question about clusters. I am working on a sunhat & just before the brim part there is sort of an eyelet look. This is what it says in the pattern: This is under the abbreviations...Beg 2-dc cluster - work (ch 3, dc) together.

i am doing a hat pattern that calls for the double treble crochet stitch cluster. When i am doing these clusters with the dtr cl, my first loop on the hook always gets stretched out and way too big no matter how hard i try to tighten the loop on the hook before i do my three yarn overs. what can i do to tighten this up? it looks sloppy when you have to put stitches in it on the next row. it doesnt seem to happen as bad with a dc cluster.

How can I shape my sleeve on the arm of my garment made in 3dc cluster ch1. I need to know how to decrease to taper the sleeve.

How do you do a beg cl? (in this pattern it's made from 2dc)

hi I need to know how to do (3tr,ch4,sc)in next dc

@cindysbiz Each pattern is different. These videos are to give you an idea of what your pattern might be trying to depict. The popcorn stitch is super 3 dimensional.

Hi I am having trouble figuring out if the following directions make sense for the second row of a crochet skirt The First Row ended as follows: 9DC in 1CH, SK 3 SC1 CH3 and turn ROW 2: : Sk1, sc, '4dc Closters over the next 4 stitches. This seems to tell me I should do 2 DC's in the CH3 stitches after the SC and 2 DC in the beginning of the 9DC fan But that doesn't feel right ... Thanks this is new to me but i am having fun!

I am doing a ruffle---what does the pattern want me to do when it says "1 ch, 1 dc into same st as 1 ch stands"

I am just new to this and my pattern reads R1- (RS) Dc in the 4th ch from hook (beginning ch counts as dc), * sk next 2 ch, (3dc, ch1, 3 dc) in next ch, sk next 2 ch, dc in next 2 ch; repeat from * across, turn-4 pattern repeats. I think I understand everything but the (3dc, ch1, 3dc) part...is the cluster that you talk about in this video similar to what they mean by this?? It is best for me to watch someone do this...reading a pattern, not always easy for me! thanks!

I am making a temperature blanket and would like to change up my stick pattern for each month. The first month has been HDC's and a total of 240. Now if I want to change to a 3dc cluster stitch how would I do that and would it keep my stitch count even at the end ?

I have a pattern that calls for a 4-dc cluster that is like the last method you did. I was hoping you had room to do four. I would have really liked to see that. The pattern is a pineapple square throw that calls for 12 pineapple square motifs. It starts out with a magic ring.

I'm actually liking the back side of the cluster Stitch better than the front. Is this Stitch ever done that way?

Hi, my pattern says this under Cluster stitch, " in st indicated work (sc,hdc,dc)." I haven't seen any videos that have a cluster stitch that would single crochet, half double, and double crochet. Is this still considered a cluster stitch?

Please, can you show me how to do this? It's a ripple afghan body. The book says; "To work Custer, pull up a loop in next 3 chs, YO and draw through all 4 loops on hook."

How do I stitch aftet the cluster row is finished? My pattern states that I need to double crochet the next row but I can't figure out where tot stitch sing ethe cluster is so tight?

what if your doing a round and it says ch4cluster at the begining

i am having trouble understanding what a crochet pattern means when it tells you to repeat a pattern (by putting *'s where to start & finish the repeat) it says to rep from * to last 12 chains, but the pattern they gave me isn't lasting intil the last 12 chains. does it mean that the pattern will end on the last chain, or to just do what you can until the last 12 chains, because it never ends up right and the next row doesn't add up either.

What does 9dc in top of 9dcl mean. I am so confused. Thank you

Hi! To crochet the initial chain, is it a multiple of? TIA!

hello maam im confused with my pattern do you think you could help? it says "Ch 3 (count as first dc now and throughout) turn, dc into the next ex sc (work cluster into the next ex sc) 4 times, work (cluster ch cluster) into the next sc, ( ch1 skip the next ex ch, work cluster into the next sc ch)4 times *skip next 2 ex sc (work cluster into the next ex ch, ch 1, skip the next ex ch) 4 times, work (cluster, ch 1, cluster)in next ex ch, (ch 1, skip the next ex ch, work cluster into the next ex ch) 4 times; repeat from star* across from last 3 ex ch, skip from the next ex ch dc into the last 2 ex ch: 54 ch 1sps" please help im new to this!!!

Then the pattern reads like this...Rnd 1: Beg 2-dc cluster, sk next 3 dc, ch 1, (2-dc cluster, ch 3, 2-dc cluster) in next dc, ch 1, [(2-dc cluster, ch 3, 2-dc cluster) in next FPdc, sk next 3 dc, ch 1, (2-dc cluster, ch 3, 2-dc cluster) in next dc, ch 1] around, 2-dc cluster in last FPdc, ch 3, join with sl st in top of beg ch-3. This sounds so confusing to me, I can't picture how it will look & also incorporating a cluster into a fpdc. I hope that you can help me :) Thanks!

Can you do the stitch in slow motion please?Thank you

Thank you was try to figure out how to do that :-) lol

Do you use Facebook or Ravelry? It will be easier to help over there because you can add pictures and links to patterns. My Facebook group is called Bethintx1 crochet club. My Ravelry username is Bethintx.(without the 1)

That means to stop when you have 12 chains left over.

This is the row here that I'm stuck on: Round 3: Ch 2, yarn over, insert hook in first st, yarn over and draw up a loop, [yarn over, insert hook in next st, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice in next st, yarn over and draw through all 4 loops on hook (counts as first 4-dc cluster) ch 3, *work 4-dc cluster over next 2 sc, ch 3; repeat from * around; join with slip st in first cluster-8 clusters.

I am crocheting an infinity scarf, I am new to crochet and not sure how to proceed with row three. It says to ch 7, turn, which I did now it says to sc in the next 3dc cl. I'm not sure where to go into the cluster with my needle. Can you help?

She fails to say what stitch she is putting the hook. Is it the same stitch or the next stitch Please be consistent every time you work the clusters.
