🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:

*How much yarn will I need?* This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!

*How many squares do I need for a blanket?* That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀

I ran into a complete stranger today at Hobby Lobby and we had a whole conversation about our current projects and she told me I had to come here and check out your videos and specifically this one. I am so thankful I met this wonderful lady and so glad she directed me here.

[sherriehaynes]

I just want to thank you so very much for the way you teach! You never assume that we know all the terminology so you explain perfectly how we're to do every stitch!!!

[MarshaPerres]

You are the greatest teacher! I'm in process of making a throw for my husband. Not wanting to change colors too frequently, I am using a very colorful varigated yarn that is working up beautifully. He loves color, and he's getting it .

You're such an excellent instructor! You speak clearly and with just the right amount of repetition for each new step. And, your voice is so soothing! Thank you for the excellent content you create Robin. You got me back into crotchet. ❤

[shellygauvreau]

I have to say, as a new crocheter, your tutorials are the easiest to follow (and trust me, I have watched a LOT of tutorial videos)

[terry_]

A fantastic crochet teacher with the sweetest voice ! 😊❤

[hollyd]

Yes! This has definitely become my new favorite stitch! Looks so beautiful with a nice variegated yarn.
I chain 2 in between each single crochet instead of just one chain just to give a little more stretch for a sweater I'm making.
Thanks for a great tutorial and beautiful stitch!

[roseburgoyne]

Great pattern. I do a lot of blankets for charity. This stitch would be a great way of using up scrap yarn. Use one solid colour as a base or for several rows and then add one row in some scrap colors to give it a pop.

My son and his wife are expecting their first baby. I’m a knitter learning crochet for the first time and was seriously considering going back to knitting for the baby blanket but I’m going to give this a try first! Thank you for the EXCELLENT tutorial!

[randomrandomness]

I am a beginner and you are the BEST teacher for crochet on YouTube. You make it so simple, and explain then repeat… I love your channel so much. Also, your beautiful manicures do not go unnoticed. Thank you so very much for all your helpful videos. You bring me great joy. 😄

[virginiasomerville]

Thanks Robin. I so appreciate your attention to carefully explaining how stitches are done. See you soon. From Salt Lake City.

[hjkahvedjian]

This is a beautiful stitch. Thank you! For anyone who hates weaving in ends, you can buy 2 skeins of the single crochet color and 2 of the cluster color and just carry the yarn up as you go if you will be making a border to hide all the carry-ups. A bit annoying to have 4 working skeins to keep track of and untangled, but better than weaving in if you really hate that.

[Needlewich]

Oh Robin, this is a beauty of a stitch pattern! Works up beautifully..and it isn’t too difficult! You’re an amazing teacher and I truly appreciat your crochet expertise!! 💕🤗

[Sherriedc]

I love the way you hold your yarn…..this method works for me…and I have tried so many that didn’t. Thank you.

[judyindorf]

Robin, I love to crochet but have be stuck with Granny squares, Granny Rows or double years because I just couldn't make sense of those patterns. But, Hurray!!!
I've learned two different patterns in two days watching you. :) :) :) Your directions and camera shots are so clear and easy to understand. I can stop the video or back it up and crochet right along with you. Thank you, Thank you!

[helenblatherwick]

Hi, thankyou, I have mastered the single/ cluster stitch. Your video was informed and I worked along with you and achieved a very good result. At 58 never thought I could learn. You helped me a lot. Thank you again, I may learn more stitches.

[brendascuccimarri]

Love it, I have made serval blankets from you tutorials. Your a very good teacher and your videos are clear and precise. Thank you for doing them

[lynday]

This is one of the best videos I've seen to date. So many go so fast that you constantly have to go back. Or, some are not in English, so you have to read the subtitles. It's frustrating trying to watch the stitch being done AND read the subtitles at the same time. I also very much appreciate all the links you left here, including a printable version of this pattern. Thank you so much!

[cayreet]

I haven't picked up a crochet hook for ages (although my granny and my mum taught me to crochet when I was a kid), but your videos have inspired me to crochet again. You explain all the techniques so well and make it so easy to follow.

[janetking]

Since seeing this tutorial I have used this stitch ALOT... 3 baby blankets...and a baby sweater... so easy and turns out absolutely beautiful... Thank you for sharing this wonderful stitch ... ❤❤❤
