How to Crochet the Cluster Moss Stitch Photo Tutorial

This Cluster Moss Stitch crochet pattern is a fun adaptation of the favourite moss or granite stitch pattern.

The moss stitch pattern (sometimes called the Granite stitch) is a favourite crochet stitch for many people. It is worked with basic single crochet and chain stitches.

This new Cluster Moss Stitch crochet pattern takes the moss stitch and adds in simple clusters every second row to give the design more depth and texture.

Notes

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in a single colour.

To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain.

For example, ch 30.

Instructions

Row One:

Sc into the 2nd ch from your hook and into each st across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Two:

Sc in the 1st st, *ch 1, sk the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Three:

Sc in the 1st st, *CL in the next skipped st 2 rows below, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.

And that’s it!

For the rest of the pattern simply repeat rows two and three. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
