Updated July 19, 2023
Pin it now, make later!

The Forked cluster stitch is a beautiful dense stitch which is made up of double and treble crochets with a bit of a twist. This two row repeat is a brilliant stitch choice for scarves, hats, blankets and more.

What’s also great about the Forked Cluster stitch is that it looks great on BOTH sides of the work, again, making it great for blankets and scarves as it’s truly reversible. One side gives a flatter finish whilst the other has a more ridged look.
