Crossed Cluster Stitch | How to Crochet

This Crossed Cluster crochet stitch pattern is the perfect crochet stitch for blankets!

And it would probably work well in any weight of yarn! I love this Crossed Cluster Stitch. It is easy to work (a two row repeat and one of those rows is a simple row of single crochet), and has a similar look and feel on the front as it does on the back.

Materials for this Tutorial:

For this tutorial today I will be using a small amount of the Basic Stitch Anti Pilling yarn by Lion Brand. It is a soft worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn. The hook shown in the video below is a 5 mm (H/8) hand carved and hand painted hook by Hand Carved Hooks and Roux Studio. Another favourite is a 5 mm Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan Yarn – one of my favourites!  However you may use any hook and yarn combination you choose.

Thank you so much for stopping by! If you enjoy the tutorial below, be sure to also check out some of the many other crochet stitch tutorials on my site and pin this for later! You may wish to start with the Butterfly Stitch | How to Crochet.

Pattern Notes:

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a solid colour.

This pattern is written using American crochet terms.

To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need a multiple of 3 + 2 stitches for your foundation chain.

For example, ch 32.

Row One:

Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and into each ch across. Ch 3 (counts as a dc), turn.

Row Two:

*Sk the next sc, CL in the next sc, now working around the CL just made, CL in the previous sk st, dc in the next st; Rpt from * across ending with a dc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.

Row Three:

Sc in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 3, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows 2 and 3 for as long as you would like. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
