Cluster Stitch Granny Square Pattern - Disgusted In The Mood Square

Cluster Stitch Square | Disgusted Mood Granny Square

I’m hoping that you don’t need to make this granny square during the course of your In The Mood blanket, but it’s a lovely pattern that would work well for a blanket all on it’s own!

This granny square uses the double crochet cluster stitch which stitch is worked in a way that’s similar to the double crochet decrease stitch, but much like the paired half double crochet, it doesn’t change the stitch count in the row or round that it is used, despite being worked across 2 stitches.

There are 7 different granny square patterns, each square represents a different mood you might experience over 12 months. Below you will find links to each of the squares featured in the In The Mood Crochet Along
