This lovely cluster stitch dishcloth is simple to crochet. The finished fabric is really pretty because it has a line on each side and the fabric doesn’t have any large spaces. This makes it a great stitch to use for crochet projects like baby blankets and afghans. I have included written instructions for 4 sizes and a photo tutorial to help you make the cluster stitch.
