Crochet Cluster Stitch
As mentioned, Crochet Cluster Stitch adds texture by grouping several partial (incomplete) stitches into one. Start with a standard crochet stitch, like a double crochet. However, don't finish the stitch or perform the last step. Repeat for the next stitch, keeping the last loop on the hook again.
This process is repeated for the number of stitches specified in your pattern (commonly, 3 to 5 stitches are worked together for a cluster). Once you have the required number of incomplete stitches on your hook, you yarn over and pull through all the loops in one go, completing the cluster. This technique creates a bunching or clustering effect, which adds texture and visual interest to your crochet projects.
Abbreviation: The abbreviation for the Crochet Cluster Stitch varies depending on the specific type of cluster stitch and the number of stitches used in the cluster, but a common abbreviation is "cl st," which stands for "cluster stitch."
