Cabled Clusters Crochet Pattern Photo Tutorial
The Cabled Clusters crochet pattern is a great choice for when you a looking for a thick, tough texture for a project.
I love crochet cable patterns. They can add a lot of depth and dimension to a crochet pattern. Typically I work these projects using front post double or triple crochet stitches.
Today, in our Cabled Clusters crochet pattern, we will substitute these simple front post stitches for front post cables. As hinted above, cluster stitches make the cable extra thick and stiff. This is going to make it great for those projects such as bags, hot pads and pot holders.
Let's crochet the Cabled Clusters Pattern together!

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 single colour.
- To begin make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch you will need a multiple of two stitches for your foundation chain. For example, with colour A, ch 34.
Instructions
Row One: Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and each across, ch 1, turn.
Row Two: Sc in the 1st st and in each across, ch 1, turn.
Row Three: Sc in the 1st st, *fpCL around the next st 2 rows below, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows two and three being sure to work your front post cluster stitches around the post of the cluster stitches below. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
