Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the Cluster & Bar Stitch!
First, with any project you'll need a crochet hook and yarn. Any yarn or hook will do for learning this stitch
For this tutorial you'll need to know how to make Chains (CH), I have a tutorial here! How to make the Single Crochet Stitch (SC), tutorial here! How to make the Double Crochet Stitch (DC), tutorial here! How to make the Front Post Double Crochet Stitch (FPDC), tutorial here! And how to make the Cluster Stitch (CL ST), tutorial here!
Starting from the beginning, make chains in the multiple of 6

Row 1: Starting in the 8th CH from your hook,
*Yarn over your hook 1 time, insert your hook into that CH, grab that yarn, pull it through that CH, pulling up 1 loop on your hook, yarn over your hook 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops, yarn over your hook 1 time, insert your hook into the next CH, grab that yarn, pull it through that CH, pulling up 1 loop on your hook, yarn over your hook 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops, yarn over your hook 1 time, insert your hook into the next CH, grab that yarn, pull it through that CH, pulling up 1 loop on your hook, yarn over your hook 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops, yarn over your hook 1 time, take that yarn through all of the loops on your hook
This will make a 3 DC Cluster ST over 3 CHs
Make 2 CHs
Skip 1 CH, make 1 DC into the next CH
Make 2 CHs, skip 1 CH
Repeat the steps above from * for the rest of this row
Row 2: Make 1 CH
Make 1 SC into the 1st ST
*Make 2 CHs, skip CH space
Make 1 SC into next ST
Repeat the steps above from * for the rest of this row
Row 3: Make 5 CHs
*We're going to make 3 DC Cluster Stitches over the next CH space, SC ST and the next CH space
Yarn over your hook 1 time, insert your hook into next CH space, grab that yarn, pull it through that CH, pulling up 1 loop on your hook, yarn over your hook 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops, yarn over your hook 1 time, insert your hook into the next SC ST, grab that yarn, pull it through that CH, pulling up 1 loop on your hook, yarn over your hook 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops, yarn over your hook 1 time, insert your hook into the next CH space, grab that yarn, pull it through that CH, pulling up 1 loop on your hook, yarn over your hook 1 time, take that yarn through 2 loops, yarn over your hook 1 time, take that yarn through all of the loops on your hook
Make 2 CHs
FPDC over next ST 2 rows down
Make 2 CHs
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have some CHs left in this row
Make 1 DC into the top of those last CHs to complete this row
You would now alternate between Rows 2 & 3 for however long you want your project
This is what the Cluster & Bar Stitch should look like when completed!
