The Double Cluster V stitch crochet pattern is a pretty design that is perfect for those reversible projects such as shawls and blankets.
The pattern itself is a wonderful one row repeat once you get the pattern set up. It’s going to work fairly quickly and it is one that you can switch colours easily in. I will work it in a solid colour in this tutorial.
I recently used this stitch as a featured stitch in the Long Island Shawl. I love its lacy look. If you are looking to work taller V stitches you may also wish to try the Triple Cluster V Stitch.
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.
