Step 1
Start with a chain or a finished row of stitches in your non-dominant hand while holding the trailing yarn taut in the fingers of that hand. Hold the hook in your dominant hand.
-
Step 2
Loop the yarn over the crochet hook, which is called yarning over (YO).
-
Step 3
Insert the hook through the chain hole of the next stitch and loop the yarn (or yarn over) again.
-
Step 4
Catch the yarn, which you just yarned over, in the crook of the hook and pull the hook back out of the chain hole; bring the hooked thread through the hole. There are 3 loops of yarn on the hook.
-
Step 5
Yarn over and bring the yarn through the first 2 hooks. There are 2 loops of yarn on the hook.
-
Step 6
Repeat Steps 2 through 5 as many times as is called for in your pattern. Each repeat adds a loop to the hook.
-
Step 7
Close the cluster stitch. To do this, yarn over and bring the yarn through all the loops on the hook.
