How to Crochet the Slip Stitch Cluster Photo Tutorial
The Slip Stitch Cluster crochet pattern is a solid stitch pattern with a lot of beautiful texture!
And what’s even better is that the texture is the same on both sides! Yesterday I published the V and Cluster stitch, which I absolutely loved. In the pattern below, you will see that they are created by working a slip stitch followed by a half double crochet two together in the same stitch. The clusters were a lot of fun to work with! Wanting more texture and more fund clusters, I decided to try out a swatch worked entirely in the slip stitch clusters. I absolutely loved the results, and I’m sure you will also.

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.
- To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an odd number stitches for your foundation chain. For example, ch 31.
Instructions
Row One: Sc in the 1st st, sc 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 previous sl st and into the next st; Rpt from * across, Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat row two. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
