Crochet Open Shell Stitch (Great for lacy scarves!)

[@cathpritchard1257]

Love the Boho Spirit and would like to make a scarf using it. What were the dimensions of the finished scarf please Robin and how much yarn did you use. Thanks for sharing this pattern.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hiya Cath! I haven't got very far with this scarf, only a couple of feet at most. I started with a chain of 40 and used a 4mm hook with the Boho. I'd estimate that 2 balls should be plenty for a decent sized infinity scarf or maybe 3 if you wanted a more traditional long scarf (or even a wider wrap) 😀 I hope that helps! (Sort of 😂)

[@cathpritchard1257]

Hooked by Robin It does help I’ll use 3 balls and send you a pic when done - thank you 👍

[@user-px5kn9bd1f]

I counted my stitches wrong yet I like that the pattern is simple and doesn't take much yarn. I want to make a shawl with this pattern, do you have a shawl pattern for this stitch on utube?

[@lynnjaynes3452]

Beautiful stitch and color of yarn. Was thinking it would make a pretty throw. Thank you and stay safe😊🎉🧶🙌

[@karenlehman1052]

I love the way you teach!! I had a stroke 5 years ago and still struggle with comprehension and words due to Aphasia. I can’t seem to follow a written pattern anymore but this tutorial has saved me. Wanted to let you know that I love your work and the easy way I’ve been able to follow. So thank you so much!

[@kathymeade5044]

I love the cute little words you use to describe something, fiddly, wonky.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you Kathy!😅🥰

[@julianflores3314]

I’ve taken up crocheting to support my mental health and it’s been a blessing to find you videos, from teaching style to warm presence, you’re truly one of the best and most generous teachers on this app. Thank you for all that you do!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hi Julian, apologies for only just reading this - I have been moving house. I am so pleased to hear it is helping you though, crochet is the best!🥰🤗

[@NathanDuNeon]

So treu, Exactly what I’ll think of this video 🎉❤

[@paulablock3202]

😢🎉

[@hollacejuster4084]

Robin, I came across this stitch looking for something new and pretty to learn. My search brought up many tutorials and you are the only one who clearly explained and showed the stitches you were creating. I am not new to crocheting - more “beginner-intermediary” - but was discouraged until I found your tutorial which is visually smooth.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Hollace, glad my tutorial helped you.😀🧶

[@jennygaber7731]

You have breathed new life into my crochet hobby... I can't thank you enough for being so clear and close up. Your Directions are outstanding!

[@HookedbyRobin]

That’s lovely to read, thank you Jenny!😃🧶

[@sdzus8983]

I appreciated the fact that you showed & described clearly about how to identify where to place the dc in the turning chain when you get to the end of the row. I’ve had trouble with this on other videos & ended up screwing up my pattern. Details like that are important for beginners. Thanks 🙏 🙂

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, I’m really glad it helps.😃🧶

[@mairwyncurtis2102]

Having just picked up my crochet hooks after 25 years….I am LURVING your channel BIG time!!!!

[@GracefullyUnraveled]

This would be so pretty as the body of a dress! I swear these stitches are pretty, but the yarn you use makes them 100 times more amazing. 😍

[@raymondbavaro5911]

Enjoyed making this pattern. Lacy yet warm and very pretty. My friend was delighted to receive it.

[@HookedbyRobin]

That was lovely to read Raymond, thank you! 😃🥰

[@koojith2123]

I love the open schell stitch and I have the perfect yarn to use to try making it. Thanks so much for all your videos.

[@pamnailor2403]

I am super happy with your instructions. They are easy for me to understand plus I needed an open weave for scarves as I live in Arizona and it really never gets "cold" here, even in February. I cannot wait to work this.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I hope you enjoy making it Pam!😃🤗

[@charlenewalker8817]

That stitch is very inspiring and very beautiful. I think i'll try making it as a pretty basquet. With the right numbers, it should work perfectly

[@deedeeodonnell696]

I think this is perfect for what I was looking for. I have been starting and frogging several times a scarf for a special person for Christmas and I just wasnt satified with anything. I think this is the one!!! Thank you so much! 🐰🐰

This pattern was just what I was looking for. I love it and such clear and easy to follow instructions. I’m making it a table runner with added tassels on the ends. I’m using DMC natura cotton on a 3.5 hook. It’s just delicate enough; not too bulky or too fine. Thank you!

[@lbluebird342]

Hi from Deer Park, Texas (we are S/E, next to Houston & not too far from NASA or the Gulf. Needed a pattern to make a scarf for my daughter for Christmas. She's 50 & picked out a yarn I'm not used to working with, it's thick & feels like velour. I tried 3 different designs, but none looked good with the yarn till now. I'm going to finish this & add micro SS beads to the center of the fan & maybe the sc, which is between the fans. The yarn is Red, 'Yarn Bee' Velvety Smooth Sparkle. It hs little specks of silver thru it...very pretty, very soft; will make a nice warm scarf... although Texas is only cold about 3 mo out of the year. You're a ❤ wonderful ❤ teacher! THANK YOU for sharing your expertise with the world. Lana 😊 I don't know if I'm able to attach a picture, but if I can, I'll do so right before, or after, Christmas. :)

[@HookedbyRobin]

That sounds absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍

[@jacquiturvey2540]
