How To - Catherine Wheel

Hey My Crocheters!

I have discovered the beauty of the Catherine Wheel Stitch pattern. It is a fun pattern that is a four row repeat. I have the written steps below and check out my youtube channel for the tutorial. This Catherine Wheel is a multiple of 10 + 6 (+ 1 for the base chain). The stitch also features double crochet clusters to give a pin wheel effect. Do not working into the turning chain on rows 4 and 5. Chain of 3 does not count as a stitch.

Special Stitches:

7CL: 7 Double Crochet Cluster

[Yo, insert hook into St, pull up a loop, Yo, pull through 2 loops] 7 times, Yo, pull through all loops on hook.

4CL: 4 Double Crochet Cluster

[Yo, insert hook into St, pull up a loop, Yo, pull through 2 loops] 4 times, Yo, pull through all loops on hook.

3CL: 3 Double Crochet Cluster
