  • Close-up of the forked cluster crochet stitch, which creates a highly textured fabric of interlocking stitches.

    Try the Forked Cluster Crochet Stitch

    The forked cluster stitch uses a simple double crochet decrease to create a uniquely soft, beautifully textured fabric. Each stitch begins where the previous one ends, sharing a stitch and forming a continuous, interlinked design. The result is a dense, cozy fabric that’s perfect for warm, luxurious blankets and scarves. It works especially well with worsted-spun, non-superwash wool yarn, creating a fabric that is simply irresistible.
