Skill Level:  Easy

SIZE: Approx 42 x 55".

MATERIALS: LION BRAND Homespun (Art. No. 790), 6 oz. skeins: 6 skeins Tudor #315 or color of your choice. Crochet hook Size N OR SIZE NEEDED TO OBTAIN GAUGE.

GAUGE: Each rep = 6". TO INSURE PROPER SIZE, BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

STITCH ABBREVIATIONS:
Cluster of 2-dc: 2 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across designated ch's or dc's.
Cluster of 3-dc: 3 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across designated ch's or dc's.
Cluster of 5-dc: 5 dc (half closed and joined tog) worked across 5 designated ch's or dc's.

Note: These clusters are made by working a specified number of double crochets to the point where you would normally do your last yarn-over-pull-through-two and keeping them on the hook (you will have multiple loops on your hook), then yarn over and pull through all the loops on the hook to close the cluster and draw it together. The clusters are the mirror image of the shell stitches with which they alternate.
