2dc Cluster Stitch Crochet Tutorial

This stitch features in an upcoming baby blanket pattern, so here is a 2dc cluster stitch crochet tutorial! I started using the standard cluster stitch, but it wasn’t working well the other stitch blocks in the blanket. The stitches were wider than the others i’ve used so it was messing with the tension and giving it a nice ruffle… so I tried with just two ‘dcs’ in the cluster and it worked perfectly!

It has the same lovely texture as the usual cluster stitch, but uses less space and less yarn, giving a more subtle effect too.
