Cluster
- Wrap the yarn over the hook, insert the hook through the stitch/chain. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through two loops. Leave the two loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook and insert it through the same stitch/chain. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through the loop. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through 2 loops. There will be 3 remaining loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook and pull through all three loops.

Cluster V Stitch - Cluster, CH 2, Cluster in the same space/stitch/chain.

Multiple 3

Make a loose chain. Your work will be tight at the bottom and expand as you progress towards the top if your chain is to tight. You can also use a larger crochet hook to make your chain and a smaller hook for the main portion of your project.

Row 1: Work the first cluster in the 5th Chain from the hook. The first 3 chains will count as the first double crochet. Work the first cluster, CH 2, work next cluster in the same chain. Skip 2 chains and works a V Stitch Cluster in the next chain. See abbreviations for details. Continue across for each V Stitch Cluster. Double Crochet in the last double crochet.

Row 2: CH 3 turn, work a V Stitch Cluster in each Chain 2 space(center of previous cluster) across. Finish with a double crochet in the last stitch which is the chain 3 on the previous row.

Repeat row 2 for the length of the project.

You are welcome to tell me if I have an error or something that does not make sense.

I have this really cute wedding project that I would like to do, but I'm having some trouble with it. It's called "Two Peas in a Pod" and it two peas in a pod and one is dressed like a bride and the other is dressed like a groom. I can send you the website I found it at. Can you take a look at it and maybe do a tutorial of it?

Thanks,
Melissa
