I am back with another how-to crochet-that-stitch tutorial. It is the beginning of September and soon to be my favorite upcoming season fall. So today I will show you how to crochet the elegant solid shell stitch. This stitch consists of a single and double crochet that repeats only two rows. What is also great about this stitch is that it looks the same on both sides, which makes it reversible. This stitch can create beautiful crochet projects such as blankets, shawls, tops, and dresses.

How to crochet the shell stitch
The shell stitch consists of a multiple of
8 +2 chains. In my How to Crochet Stitch video tutorials, I always recommend
starting with a small number of chains when learning a new stitch. but keep it in
the multiple of 8 and make sure that you chain two more for the base. For a
size small I chained 24 + 2 =26 chains.
Start with a chain of 8+2 (In the video I chained 144 +2 for a bust size of 34)
Row 1 1 Sc into the 2nd ch
from the hook, *skip 2 ch, 5dc into ch, skip 2 ch, 1 sc into ch. Repeat *
across chains. Turn yarn.
Repeat Rows 3-4 until you reach your desired length.
