Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make the Open Lace 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!
Starting from the beginning, make chains in the multiple of 10 + 12

Row 1: Make 1 SC into the 2nd CH from your hook
*Make 5 CHs
Skip 4 CHs, make 1 SC into the next CH
Repeat the steps above from * for the rest of this row
Row 2: Make 5 CHs
Make 1 SC into the previous CH 5 space
*Make 5 DC into the next previous SC
Make 1 SC into the next previous CH5
Make 5 CHS
Skip to the next previous CH 5, make 1 SC into that space
Repeat the steps from * until you reach the last ST of this row
Make 2 CHs
Make 1 DC into that last ST to complete this row
Row 3: Make 1 CH
Make 1 SC into the 1st ST
*Make 5 CHs
Make 1 SC into the middle DC of the previous 5
Make 5 CHS
Make 1 SC into the previous CH 5 space
Repeat the steps above until you have 1 SC + some CHs at the end of this row
Skip that 1 SC, make 1 SC into the CHs at the end of this row to complete
Row 4: Make 3 CHs
Make 2 DC into the 1st ST
Make 1 SC into the next previous CH 5 space
*Make 5 CHS
SK to next previous CH 5 space, make 1 SC into that space
Make 5 DC into the next previous SC
Make 1 SC into the next previous CH 5 space
Repeat the steps above from * until you reach the last ST in this row
Make 3 DC into that last ST to complete this row
Row 5: Make 1 CH
Make 1 SC into the 1st ST
*Make 5 CHs
SK to previous CH 5 space, make 1 SC into that space
Make 5 CHs
Make 1 SC into the middle DC of the previous 5 DC
Repeat the steps above from * until you have 3 STS + some CHs at the end of this row
Skip those 3 STs, make 1 SC into the tops of those CHs at the end of the row to complete
You would now repeat Rows 2, 3, 4 & 5 in order for however long you want your project
This is what the Open Lace Shell Stitch should look like when completed!
