Double Crochet Cluster V-Stitch
SKILL LEVEL Advanced Beginner
MULTIPLES Multiples of 3 +4
PROJECT IDEAS Blanket, pot holders, dish clothes, scarves
The double crochet cluster v-stitch is a chunky stitch that has a strong look. This stitch is a one row repeat, therefore making it very repetitive and rhymical. The DC CL V-St. is constructed using clusters of double crochet clusters (dc2tog) stitches placed in a V shape. The placement of the clusters then create a beautiful textured fabric. Another great thing about this stitch is that it lends itself to using with a single color or multiples colors. Finally, one of the best things about this stitch is it looks nice in any size yarn and makes a reversible fabric. Because of these characteristics, it is great for modern blankets and throws. This dense fabric creates a very warm and cozy feel.
