PROJECT IDEAS Blankets, scarves, hats,
The Half Double Crochet Cluster V-Stitch (HDC CL V) is a great stitch to use for baby blankets, afghans, and scarves. It is denser than the tradition HDC V-Stitch, but is still light and airy. Not only that, but the clusters create a great texture. I love how this stitch gives a thicker appearance than the traditional HDC v stitch. However, this stitch is an advanced beginner stitch that can be used in many ways.
