Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the Classic 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! How to make the Double Crochet Stitch (DC), tutorial here! It also helps to be familiar with the Double Crochet Shell Stitch, tutorial here!
❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈
To start from the beginning: Make chains in the multiples of 6 + 2
Work 1 SC into the 2nd CH from your hook, *skip 2 CHs, make a DC Shell into the next ST, repeat from until the end of your 1st row, you would then work 3 DC into the last ST of your row
I will now show the 2 rows you will alternate between for the however long you want your project:
Make 1 CH
1 SC into first ST
Skip 2 STs, 5 DC (shell) into the next ST
Skip 2 STs, 1 SC in next ST
*Skip 2 STs, 5 DC (shell) into the next ST
Skip 2 STs, 1 SC in next ST
Repeat these steps from * until you reach the end of the row
Work 1 DC into the last ST of the row
Next row: Turn your work, CH 3
Work 2 DC into the 1st ST connected with the CHs just made
*Skip 2 STs, 1 SC in next ST
Skip 2 STs, 5 DC (shell) into the next ST
Repeat from * until you make the last SC in your row
Make 3 DC into the last ST of your row
This is what the The Classic Shell Stitch should look like when completed!
