Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the Interlocking 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! How to make the Cluster Stitch (CL ST), tutorial here! And be familiar with the Double Crochet Shell Stitch, tutorial here!
Starting from the beginning, make chains in the multiple of 6 + 3

Row 1: Make 2 DC into the 3rd CH from your hook
*Skip 2 CHs, make 1 SC into the next CH
Skip 2 CHs, make 5 DC into the next CH
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have 3 CHs left
Skip 2 CHs, make 3 DC into the last CH to complete this row
Row 2: CH 1
Make 1 SC into the 1st ST
*CH 2
Make a Cluster ST over the next 5 STs
Yarn over your hook 1 time, insert your hook into the next ST, grab that yarn and pull it through, pulling up 1 loop, yarn over your hook, take that yarn through 2 loops only, now repeat these steps for a total on 5 STs, yarn over your hook, take that through all of the loops on your hook to complete that Cluster ST
Make 2 CHs
Make 1 SC into the next ST
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have some CHs left
Make 1 SC into the top of those last CHs to complete this row
Row 3: CH 3
Make 2 DC into the 1st ST
*Make 1 SC into top of next previous Cluster ST
Make 5 DC into the next SC ST
Repeat the steps above from * until you reach the end of this row
Skip to the last ST in this row, make 3 DC into that last ST to complete this row
You would now alternate between Rows 2 & 3 for however long your want your project
This is what the Interlocking Shell Stitch should look like when completed!
