Stitch of the Month...Wide Half Double Crochet Cluster

Ever wonder why certain crochet stitches are better for some patterns and not others? Does using a particular stitch really make a difference in the finished product? Even if you are not a crocheter, having a little bit of stitch knowledge can help you pick the best quality product.


This year I want to find new stitches I haven't used yet. Come along with me as I explore new and fancy stitches and what projects they are best used for.





What a mouth full!

Besides being quite a mouth full to say the Wide Half Double Crochet Cluster Stitch (WHDC) The Half Double Crochet Cluster Stitch creates a dense but delicate looking fabric and seems to pair well geometric shapes, hats, blankets, or baby sweaters.


Below are the written instructions and a video by Daisy Farm Crafts. I really like her style and think she makes great instructional videos.
