Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the Simplest Shell Stitch!
First, with any project you'll need a crochet hook and yarn. Any yarn or hook will do for learning this stitch.
For this tutorial you'll need to know how to make Chains (CH), I have a tutorial here! How to make the Single Crochet Stitch (SC), tutorial here! And how to make the Double Crochet Stitch (DC), tutorial here!
For your starting chains, make multiples of 4 + 5
❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈
Row 1: Make 3 CHs
(If you're working into CHs skip this step)
Skip 1st ST, make 4 DC into 2nd ST
(If you're working into CHs make these 4 DC into the 6th CH from your hook)
Skip 3 STs/CHs, make 4 DC into next ST/CH
Skip 3 STs/CHs, make 4 DC into next ST/CH
Repeat the step above until you reach the end of your row
1 DC into last ST/CH of row
Row 2: CH 1
1 SC into each ST across
Row 3: Make 3 CHs
To start this shell row, skip 3 STs, work 4 DC into the next ST
Skip 3 STs, make 4 DC into next ST until you reach the end of your row
1 DC into last ST of row
Alternate between these 2 shell rows, always working the SC row between them
This is what the Simplest Shell Stitch should look like when completed!
