Crochet hook

Knit Pro, Mellow: US I/5.5mm


Foundation: Ch14 (for the sample) or in multiples of 3 + 2 sts.


Row 1 (ws): 1sc in 2nd ch from hk, [ch3, sk2 sts, 1sc in next st]. Rep between [ ].



Row 2 (rs): ch3 (counts as dc throughout pattern or try the standing dc st), turn, 1dc in the same st, [1sc in ch3 sp**, 3dc in next sc st]. Rep between [ ] until last sc st ending rep at **. 2dc in last st.


Row 3: ch1, 1sc in same st, [ch3, sk3, 1sc in st]. Rep between [ ] working the last st in the 3rd ch of the turning ch.

Note: The last st is worked in the 3rd ch from the beginning ch3 from the previous row (known as the turning chain). Using the standing dc st, you’ll work the last st in that dc st. The sc sts are worked in the center dc st of the 3dc sts from the previous row.



Repeat Rows 2 & 3 until you’re happy with the size.


Fasten off and weave in ends.

I love this shell stitch tutorial, but I usually need a free anagram solver to help me name my finished projects when I get stuck. Your instructions for the Quick Shells stitch are super clear and easy to follow. Can't wait to try this out with my leftover cotton yarn this weekend!
