Thistle Cluster Crochet Stitch Pattern

I made this for Warm Up America which is why this measures 9 inches in width. Gauge listed below. To give you an idea of this pattern  Row 2 is made up of a Cluster V stitch and in Row 3 you will be doing  a group of 3dc's in the Chain 2 spaces of the Cluster V stitch.

This stitch pattern can be used for a WIDE variety of items like blankets, scarfs, neckwarmers and anything else you can think of :)
