This isn’t a complicated C2C variation. It’s not much of a variation at all. But if anyone wants to try a new C2C stitch method without drastically changing the overall look of a C2C square, it’s perfect. This C2C pattern replaces the 3 dc stitches made in each ch-3 space with 3 dc clusters. The 3 dc clusters are slightly tighter and less stretchy than sets of 3 dc stitches, though not by much.

The 3 dc cluster stitch is made by drawing up 3 incomplete dc in either three separate stitches or a single stitch before closing the cluster. This C2C pattern uses the methods of working across three chain stitches and working in a ch-3 space. These instructions can be used with any yarn and hook size to create a C2C square.

Materials needed:
Any kind of yarn
A crochet hook in a size appropriate for the yarn used
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
