Today we want to share with you a special post:
Learn How to Crochet the Beautiful Shell Stitch
In this article, we will provide you with a written pattern and a step-by-step video tutorial on how to crochet the shell stitch.
The author used Rico Design Color Coated Cotton in the shade Partie and instantly fell in love with its color. This is a 3 weight or DK cotton yarn which works well with the shell stitch.
However, you can use any yarn weight or fiber of your choice as long as you use the recommended hook size for your yarn. This stitch looks great in both solid and multicolored yarns, so feel free to experiment.
To crochet the shell stitch, you will need to know how to chain, double crochet (dc), and shell stitch. The written pattern consists of a two-line repeat and can be easily memorized.
Shell stitch pattern:
Row 1: Chain any even number of stitches.
Row 2: Skip the first two chains, work 5dc in the next chain, skip 2 chains, work 1sc in the next chain, skip 2 chains. Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with 3dc in the last chain.
Row 3: Chain 3, turn your work, work 2dc in the first stitch, skip the next 2 stitches, work 1sc in the next stitch, skip the next 2 stitches, work 5dc in the next stitch. Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with 3dc in the turning chain.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 for the desired length.
The video tutorial will guide you through the steps of crocheting the shell stitch. It provides visual aids that complement the written pattern.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this tutorial will help you create a beautiful and textured project.
The shell stitch is perfect for blankets, throws, and even clothing. With this stitch pattern, the possibilities are endless.
