![]() When switching colors, you’ll want to pull through with the new color at the end of the MC row, on the last two loops of your DC. Repeat rows 2 and 3 for the remainder of the blanket.įor this blanket, I did 14 rows of blue (so 7 MC rows with 7 SC rows in between) and then I alternated white and blue for 58 rows before ending with 14 rows of just blue again. Row 3: SC in the first stitch from the hook and in the top of each stitch across, ending the last stitch in the top of the turning chain (101 SC). On the last MC, in the last stitch of the row, omit the CH 1 to close up the MC and work a DC, inserting your hook into the same space as the last MC. In the same space that you ended repeat from * and work MC across to the end of the row. YO and pull through all 6 loops on your hook. YO, insert your hook into the same stitch, YO and pull through, YO and pull through 1 loop. In the next stitch, insert your hook, YO and pull through, YO and pull through 1 loop. Row 2: In the first stitch yarn over *(YO) and insert your hook, YO and pull through, YO and pull through only 2 loops.

Size H/5.00mm hook, tapestry needle, scissors Size Now, in case you are a beginner crocheter like me, my mom has made an updated video for the Mixed Cluster Stitch that you can watch below ( or you can click here to watch on YouTube) and I hope you find it as helpful as I did!Ĭaron Simply Soft (100% acrylic, 170 g/6 oz, 288 m/315 yds) But I’m grateful my mom keeps doing her best to share videos anyway, because I probably would not know how to crochet without them! Neither my mom or I are professional crocheters, but we try to share the details for the projects that we are making as best we can and we are always trying to improve. My sisters and I like to tease my mom sometimes that if I ask her a crochet question in person, she’ll just kind of give me a vague answer and say something like, “you just figure it out,” but when she’s filming on video she’s very calm and tries to explain everything, which is why I always watch her videos before calling her to ask for help :).īut I really admire her willingness to record videos – one of the first things we learned after starting Daisy Farm Crafts was that the toughest crowd definitely lives on YouTube and that there are lots of people who are not afraid to let you know if your video didn’t quite measure up to their standards. Which is mostly true – she taught me how to Tunisian crochet several years ago and then I think I had one lesson in person where she taught me the moss stitch, but after that I just started watching her videos and reading her patterns as I was helping her with this blog. My mom and I like to joke that she’s never really taught me to crochet in person – most of what I’ve learned has been from her crochet videos. I decided to challenge myself to learn the Mixed Cluster Stitch for this blanket, which was a little tricky to figure out at first, but I really wanted my stripes to have the straight lines that this stitch provides, so I kept practicing until it made sense and even watched my mom’s video tutorial from another blanket she made using this stitch. ![]() I’ve had this berry blue color of Caron Simply Soft in my yarn stash for a while and I’m glad it’s finally time to start making some more spring flavored blankets.
