Three Treble Cluster Tutorial

As far as I am concerned everyone who crochet’s should learn to work clusters. It is my opinion that cluster’s are one of crochetings fun stitches to do. Clusters come in all kinds of variations using all of the basic stitches at one time or another. So if you have a cluster in a pattern – make sure you read through the instructions carefully. But once you have mastered the technique used in making a basic cluster, learning the rest of them become so much easier to crochet.

Clusters are so popular and used in so many patterns, I could not even began to list them. I just recently used the Three Treble Cluster in crocheting a book marker.

Alright enough talking, lets get our yarn and hook and hopefully you will enjoy crocheting clusters as much as I do.
