Also, because of the number of steps involved for this stitch, I’ve divided each step as a bullet point.
Ch 36 (multiple of 3)
Row 1:
- Begin in the 5th chain from the hook.
- Wrap yarn around hook and bring up a loop (3 loops on the hook).
- Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loops on the hook (2 loops on the hook).
- Wrap yarn around hook and bring up a loop from that same chain (4 loops on the hook).
- Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loop on the hook (3 loops on the hook).
- Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through all three loops.
- Chain 2
- Then working into that same chain, wrap yarn around hook, bring up a loop (three loops on the hook).
- Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loops (two loops on the hook).
- Wrap yarn around hook and go back into the same chain and bring up a loop (4 loops on the hook).
- Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through the first two loops (3 loops on the hook)
- Wrap yarn around hook and bring it through all three loops.
- Skip two chains and then repeat steps 2-12.
- Repeat across, working steps 2-12 until one chain remains.
- Work a dc into the last chain.
Row 2:
- Ch 3 and turn.
- Working into the chain 2 spaces from the previous row, repeat steps for the cluster v stitch from row 1 (instead of working into the chains, you’ll work into the chain 2 spaces all the way across).
- To finish off the row, work a dc into the topmost chain of the turning chain from the previous row,
- Repeat row 2 for desired height.
Weave in any ends that remain and you’re finished!
How many stitches did you start with please? I can't follow Youtube. Is it a fixed number of chains or a multiple of stitches per pattern repeat. Thank you
What is the beginning chain count? You start with "Begin in the 5th chain from the hook."
I've not watched the video yet to see what it is. Thanks!
Beautiful! Did I miss the # for the starting chain? 🙂

Could you please tell me the stitch count for the starting chain?
The scarf is very beautiful, I just couldn't find how many chains to start with.
Thank you
Love the cluster v stitch. You didn't put down how many chains in your blog to start out with.
