Week 39 Of The FrankenScrap Crochet Along

Our next piece of the FrankenScrap crochet along is made with the Treble Clusters stitch. For this piece you will need a total of 70 meters of DK / Light Worsted yarn in 2 different colours. I used 7g of Patons Cotton DK for the single crochet rows and 30g of Sirdar cotton prints for this piece. Both of these yarns are 100% mercerised cotton and are very similar in terms of feel and thickness so are easy to use in the same piece.

I also used a 4 mm hook – I recommend using Clover Amour hooks. A cost effective hook that is comfortable in your hands thanks to their ergonomic design, so doesn’t make your hands tired when crocheting for long periods of time. I love my Clover hooks and although I own several different hook brands, I inevitably end up going back and using my trusty Clovers.

The Treble Clusters is a floating stitch which means that the Cluster are made into the chain spaces of a single crochet and chains row. Because the Clusters are made with Treble stitches this stitch works up quickly and looks good in both solid and multiple coloured yarn. This stitch would be great for blankets and clothing such as sweaters.

Joining Your Pieces

Your finished piece should be 69 stitches wide and 11 rows high, which counts as 21 stitches high for joining purposes since you have tr and sc rows. You can see how the pieces are joined together here. If you are following my gauge, then your piece will measure 43cm wide and 11cm high. Remember this is just a size indication and if your gauge is consistent throughout, then your pieces will fit together nicely even if your sizes do not match with mine.

The Treble Clusters piece should be joined beneath week 37’s Caramel piece and the bottom right 16 stitches of week 38’s wattle piece. The right hand edge should be joined to the remaining stitches of week 11’s Undulating Cable piece.

The layout below shows how your pieces should be attached in relation to each other.
