A cluster is a group of several stitches combined into one stitch and is often used to reduce the number of stitches in a row. Clusters are abbreviated by naming the number and type of stitches to be combined. For example, a 5dc-cl is a cluster of 5 double crochet, likewise a 3tr-cl is a cluster of 3 triples. Each stitch of the triple is worked until its last loop remains on the hook (for sc-cluster, merely draw the yarn through the stitch). | ||
