Cluster 2DC2H: (done into the loop from 7 CH) * make a double crochet stitch into the loop from 7 CH (the last stitch remains unworked on the hook), repeat from * once more and then all 3 stitches on the hook are worked together.
Split tr Cluster: two double crochet stitches worked together: First step – a DC2H is worked into the top of the central stitch of the specified 3 stitches behind the front loop (the last stitch remains unworked), Second step - a DC2H is worked into the top of the central stitch of the specified 3 stitches behind the front loop (the last stitch remains unworked), then all 3 stitches on the hook are worked together.
7DC2H Popcorn: 7 DC2H into the loop from 2 CH, drop the hook from the stitch, insert the hook into the first DC2H of the group of 7 DC2H and pull the dropped stitch through.
