Cozy Up with a Crochet Cluster Stitch Blanket: Your Ultimate DIY Guide

Crochet Cluster Stitch Blanket

Wel­come to the world of cro­chet! In this post, we’ll guide you through cre­at­ing a stun­ning Cro­chet Clus­ter Stitch Blan­ket using the dou­ble cro­chet clus­ter stitch. This blan­ket is per­fect for snug­gling up with your lit­tle one, mak­ing it an ide­al baby blan­ket. Whether you’re a sea­soned cro­cheter or a begin­ner, this free pat­tern will help you cre­ate a cozy, tex­tured blan­ket that show­cas­es your skills. With a few basic stitch­es and a sim­ple video tuto­r­i­al, you’ll be on your way to craft­ing a beau­ti­ful piece that you can cher­ish for years to come.

To start your clus­ter stitch blan­ket, you’ll need to estab­lish a foun­da­tion chain. Begin by chain­ing an even num­ber of stitch­es to ensure your blan­ket has a beau­ti­ful, sym­met­ri­cal edge. This pat­tern employs a com­bi­na­tion of sin­gle cro­chet (sc) and dou­ble cro­chet clus­ter stitch­es (dc clus­ter) to cre­ate a dense fab­ric with a love­ly tex­ture. The first row will set the stage for your design, so make sure to pay atten­tion to the stitch count and fol­low the row repeat care­ful­ly.

As you progress, you’ll be using sl st to join and yarn over to cre­ate your next stitch. The first clus­ter stitch will require you to insert your cro­chet hook into the des­ig­nat­ed chain space and pull up loops to cre­ate that sig­na­ture clus­ter look. After com­plet­ing the clus­ter stitch­es, sim­ply repeat the row by fol­low­ing the last sc and mak­ing your way to the end of the row. Don’t for­get to adjust your hook size if nec­es­sary, and con­sid­er using high-qual­i­ty yarns like Lion Brand Yarn or Red Heart for the best results.

You will do this for an even amount of chains

Row 1: sc in the sec­ond chain from the hook and in the next chain, *ch 1, skip a chain, sc in the next, *Repeat until your last 3 chains, in the last three chains, chain 1, skip a chain, sc in the last two chains. 

Row 2: ch 3, skip two sc and in the chain 1, work the clus­ter stitch, (yarn over and insert your hook, grab the yarn, yarn over, pull through two loops, leave two loops on the hook, *Repeat 3 more times, then yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on the hook.) ch 1, *Repeat a clus­ter stitch in each chain 1 space, end with a dc in the last stitch. Turn

Row 3: ch 1, sc in the first stitch, sc in the next space, *ch 1, sc in the next chain space between the clus­ters, *Repeat across, at the end, sc in the last two stitch­es

Row 4: ch 4, Now cre­ate the clus­ter stitch in the chain 1 space, (yarn over and insert your hook, grab the yarn, yarn over, pull through two loops, leave two loops on the hook, *Repeat 3 more times, then yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on the hook.) ch 1, *Repeat a clus­ter stitch in each chain 1 space, end with a dc in the last stitch. Turn

Alter­nate between Row 3 and Row 4. You can end with Row 3. Fas­ten off and Weave in your ends. 

When you reach the end of the row, make sure to add a turn­ing chain before mov­ing on to the next row. This will help main­tain the height of a dc. As you con­tin­ue, feel free to incor­po­rate a col­or change with each new col­or you select, which can add a fun and vibrant look to your whole blan­ket.
