GAUGE: Each rep = 6". BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
Cluster of 2-dc: 2 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across designated ch's or dc's.
Cluster of 3-dc: 3 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across designated ch's or dc's.
Cluster of 5-dc: 5 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across 5 designated ch's or dc's.
Note: These clusters are made by working a specified number of double crochets to the point where you would normally do your last yarn-over-pull-through-two and keeping them on the hook (you will have multiple loops on your hook), then yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook to close the cluster and draw it together. The clusters are the mirror image of the shell stitches with which they alternate.
