Slip Stitch clusters make up the beautiful texture in the V and Cluster Stitch crochet pattern.
If you are looking for a stitch pattern with texture and drape, you may just want to try this V and Cluster stitch pattern!
This stitch pattern is an easy two-row repeat. The first row is that of a cluster stitch that is created by working a slip stitch followed by a half double crochet two together, all worked in the same stitch. The result is a stitch that reminds me of a shallow bobble stitch.
The alternating row is a row of double crochet v stitches. These are so simple to work and create a beautiful pattern.
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 worsted-weight yarn. You could also work this pattern in two or more colours. I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. In the video tutorial below you will see me working with a Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan. 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 beautiful Textured Star Stitch Crochet Pattern.

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 in American crochet terms.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain.
For example, ch 30.
Row One:
Dc in the 4th ch from your hook, dc in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
Hdc2tog over the 1st 2 sts, *sl st in the next st, hdc2tog beginning in the same st as the last sl st; Rpt from * across to the final st and turning ch, end with a sl st in the next st, hdc2tog in the same st as the previous sl st and top of the turning ch. Ch 3 (Counts as a dc), turn.
Row Three:
*2 dc in the next sl st, sk the next hdc2tog; Rpt from * across to the final st, dc in the turning ch-sp. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows two and three for pattern. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
