Cluster of 2 - Crochet Stitch Tutorial

Another stitch you will see frequently used in my crochet patterns is the cluster of 2.  

I use this stitch to create a decrease in the row without leaving room for any spaces before or after the decrease.

This is one of the best ways to do a double crochet decrease.

This stitch is a variation of the "Cluster Stitch" - where any combination of crochet stitches are worked together over several adjacent stitches to become 1.  The cluster of 2 only works 2 double crochet stitches together over 2 adjacent stitches.

This stitch is sometimes known as double crochet 2 together (dc2tog).

Simple Cluster of 2 Stitch Instructions:

leaving the last lp of each dc on hook - work 2 dc over next 2 sts, yo, pull through 3 rem lps

Full Written Instruction of this Stitch:

(yo, insert hook into st, yo, pull through st, yo, pull through 2 lps) rep into next st, yo, pull through 3 rem lps on hook

***I always abbreviate this stitch as - cluster of 2 - in my patterns.***
