How to create the sc2tog stitch:

1. Insert your hook into the CH 1 space and draw up a loop.

• YO and draw through one loop.

• Insert your hook into the next CH 1 space, YO and draw up a loop.

• YO draw through all three loops on your hooks.

***to begin another cluster or sc2tog you will start in the same CH 1 space you ended in. Below is a photo for reference

Here is the video tutorial if you need more assistance!

***DIRECTIONS: This blanket is simple and easy! It is a two-row repeat and works up fast. You’ll notice a simple SC border placed around the blanket. You can easily exchange this border for something if you so desire. At the end of the pattern I have included photo tutorials for making the cluster stitch and I have also created a video to help guide you along as well.

There are multiple blanket sizes available from baby all the way to King-size!
