How to Crochet the Shell Stitch

This lovely stitch may look difficult, but it’s actually the combination of the Double crochet and Chain stitches, which you might already know. This stitch is quite versatile, but you’ll often find it in shawls or sweaters. One look at a finished project with the shell stitch will instantly transport you to the ocean…or make you think of shells and cheese pasta! This tutorial comes with pictures and is fairly easy, so if you’re looking for a new stitch to open up some new patterns, give the Shell Stitch a try.
