Here is a really quick photo tutorial for how to crochet the 3-Double Crochet Puff Stitch that is required for the Light & Lacy Poncho pattern.

How to Crochet the Cluster Stitch
Hello again!
I’m here to share another photo tutorial with you today.
This is the Cluster Stitch!

If you don’t know how to crochet the Suzette Stitch (which is one of my all time favorites by the way) or just need a refresher, I created another photo tutorial that is available at this link.
How to Crochet the Suzette Stitch
The Suzette Stitch is one of my absolute favorite crochet stitches to do!
Besides the fact that it is so easy, it creates the most amazing texture and a solid fabric. Sometimes when you’re making blankets or clothing, you don’t want a bunch of holes that let the cold in. This is where the Suzette Stitch shines!
You can use it on quite a few different styles of crochet projects. You only need a multiple of 2 for your chains!
