5 double crochet cluster

[CherylN]

I am new to crocheting and my pattern says, 5 dc cl over next 5 dc. Does this mean do 5 different 5 dc cl, or one cluster out of the 5 dc? I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Each pattern writer, writes it a little differently. I would say that it is one cluster for every 5 stitches.

 

 

The best way to know for sure is if it says how many clusters you should have at the end of the row. Unless you are increasing on this row and decreasing on the next row, I would say that you do one cluster using the next 5 stitches.

Your pattern should tell you what they consider a cluster to be... Recheck at the beginning of the pattern before where it tells you how many chains to start with.

What you are making is an upside down shell.

 

You are going to make all but the last movement of the next 5 stitches, then yo and pull through all loops on the hook. With so many, you may need to do a firm CH to close the top off.

Maybe if you are still not sure, you can write a bit more of the row andmaybe the row before as it will make more sense then and we will be better able to help.

Have fun.
