Crochet Puff Shell Star Stitch (Great for Scarves or Blankets) | Stunning Textured Stitch

[@looloolock]

That's my christmas presents sorted! How many balls for a scarf do you recommend? Stunning pattern Robin thank you 😘😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

I've not got much further than I show in the video - I'd imagine I'd have to use another 2 or 3 balls 🤔 Depends how long you want your scarf really! Sorry I don't really have a set answer for you 😂

[@cynthias.5813]

@@HookedbyRobin After you finish a project, like a scarf, would you please come back and comment on the yards used for what you made, and it's approximate size? To follow dye lots, I want to make sure to get enough yarn. ♥️.

[@looloolock]

Fab, thank you . I've ordered 6 balls, that should keep me going 😊😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

@@looloolock definitely let me know how you get on! You'll probably finish your scarf much faster than I will as I'm the queen of never finishing anything 😂

[@jessicaholmes5715]

Louisa Lockley how far did you get with 6 balls? And how long was each ball?

[@meganmcgowan5798]

I consider myself a "permanent beginner"... but this was SO easy once I watched the video a couple of times. Then I tried a sample swatch, and it all came together nicely. Tip for new crocheters who might be struggling with this: Watch on full screen to get the best view, and if it seems too fast for you, click on the little Settings gear, then click on Playback Speed, and choose a slower speed that's comfortable for you. Don't hesitate to back the video up, either. This is the beauty of "KZbin Learning"... you can always go back, make the view bigger, and slow things down to catch up until you're comfortable and you get the hang of it. Slowing down will also let you work right along with the narrator so you get to see, hear and "do" the new skill, which reinforces it.

[@hookedinpawleys5215]

Thanks for the tips, Megan!!

[@debbiemcclure2874]

I actually didn't know about the slow down button until I recently got into crocheting and I thank God and KZbin for it 😁

[@allabtyarn4623]

Yes!!! You said it so well.

[@he.is.worthy742]

“Permanent beginner”! That describes me perfectly!

[@janetsawyers8703]

Great tip thank you 👌

[@edgarallenhoe3518]

That's such a clever way of getting around right side/wrong side issue to make all the shells the same WHILE enhancing the puff! I love it

[@teresamoore3577]

My mum used this stitch on a shawl for my first born 44 years ago,my daughter still has it to this day wrapped in tissue paper. I love the colour of the wool you’re using. Thank you for sharing sending love and prayers always,please keep safe xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@careebee738]

How many chains did she use for a shawl?

[@elizabethalexander-pukerud7951]

If anyone is watching this now! Lol I had problems! I am not a fan of thick yarns! But I wanted to try this. I have painful fingers from arthritis. I kept dropping off my stitches. Ugh yep! So! Lol I decided I needed to practice something that might work for me! I kept thinking how this puff stitch reminds me of Tunisian crochet. I have one hook for Tunisian and it's a size m! Well I do have a couple skeins of super bulky. So I'm making earwarmers using a tunisian hook and bulky yarn. Lol. round one done! Thanks much for this pattern!

[@hirakelshikar3534]

So beautiful! I'm going to make a stole for my grand niece for her wedding in August! I'm sure she'll love it! Thank you so much! God bless!

[@kdog12345]

THANK YOU, Robin! What a fun look and texture! At first I was confused as to why the rows of single crochets were being added & embedded, but then remembered it's a PUFF SHELL! So Clever & Cute!

[@cristinapetruzzellis8451]

I can't crochet, the way you explain is very easy, and I'm going to try , I'm so happy I found you, thanks a lot 💓

[@rachellearcaro1984]

Wow this is incredible. Plus your choice of colourway is phenomenal - the blues and greys truly make it look like shells plucked from the ocean.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Rachelle for the loveliest comment! 😍🤗

[@autismocharismo]

THANK YOU FOR ADDING SUBTITLES!!! You have such a wonderful finesse to your crocheting. also having accurate subtitles is always great just 😩👌 superb

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are very welcome! I have to manually add the subtitles (it takes forever and is a total pain hahah!) so it's good to hear they are useful!

[@vandanachakraborty40]

I was looking for a simple pattern for my daughter's scarf as I'm a beginner and dont know much...and this suddenly came in front of my eyes...It's very easy to learn from you...Very clear and perfect instructions. Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern.

[@alanasweet4465]

Robin, how absolutely creative you are!!!!!!!! 🧚‍♀️ Words cannot describe my fascination with and admiration of your talent and imagination!!!! Thank you again for sharing your gift with us in such clear instructions!!!!🙏😻💖

[@bubblesbubbleton2747]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have a little niece who’s obsessed with mermaids and the ocean. She turned 8 this past week and I used this pattern to make a “Seashell Blanket” (I used RedHeart in “Speckled”, an beige speckled with dark brown, and a H hook) for her and she absolutely loved it. Thank you again and please keep up the good work!

[@HookedbyRobin]

I can imagine that it ate yarn like no tomorrow but I'm so glad your niece loved the finished blanket! 🥰

[@jessicaholmes5715]

How much yarn did this use and how big was the blanket?

[@bubblesbubbleton2747]

Jess Holmes It was 40”X75” (made it to fit her twin size bed) and I used 10 skeins. It was a little expensive because I had to buy that much yarn, but it was perfect for her and she was happy, so I considered it worth it.

[@emilyvergin]

I really enjoy your tutorial style - as someone who’s only started crocheting this year this is a pattern I look forward to trying in the future!

[@ingridliz69]

Thank you so much for sharing, it took me a little while to figure out the stitch but I got it!! I'm making a blanket for my first grandchild

[@camille4574]

The way you made two rows of chains and then crocheted over the top was so interesting to me! I've never seen a technique like that before.

[@robinmoore7202]

Camille and her Cosmetics It is to me as well. I’m trying to figure out why it’s done that way lol ☺️

[@camille4574]

@@robinmoore7202 I assume it helps the shell 'puff' 😊

[@Fiber-Arts]

@@robinmoore7202 The "chain row" that you end up doing shells over is to make the shell puffier then the usual shell. Awesome idea.

[@Fiber-Arts]

@@camille4574 Yes, The "chain row" that you end up doing shells over is to make the shell puffier then the usual shell. Awesome idea.

[@alanasweet4465]

I thought it was a space holder for row 2, but it does add to the puffiness as well!😁

[@hallebrowne3796]

Ive started this stitch. Even though it doesn't make full sense right now, it will get better. Is it just me, or does it seem that we are working this shell upside-down? I really love it, though. Thank you to the instructor and other commentators for their input. ❤

[@mariafelicidadaguayoparrad9548]

Looks a little complicated,but I can't wait to try.. your esplanation is so good and your voice so pleasant.....thank you

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Maria, you can do this! 😃🧶

[@chelhaynes7823]

This is so nice. I am a beginner and I'm learning by watching KZbin.. But this is the easist tutorial I found so far. Thank you

[@irenemgibbons2114]

I will keep trying this pattern because the stitch just looks so cool and i hope to one day complete it so that I can show others what it looks like.

[@cindyhill5689]

Get comfortable with the star stitch first before taking on a project with this stitch. It'll help you get the hang of carrying all the loops on your hook. I speak from experience ! The cotton yarn she used for the tutorial made the stitches look so sloppy in comparison to her scarf but don't let that put you off...Cotton yarns (4wt, clunky/kinda bulky, lower quality) are stiff and do not drape well. The variegated yarn from her project uses a premium acrylic and drapes very nicely. It's similar to Red Heart's Unforgettable. It is so soft! Note, it can be a little tricky to frog, so take your time.

[@parislamour782]

I love your voice. Your instruction is the most easy to understand. Thank you.

I've only done a very large granny square when I was 18 and I havent touched it since and in 51 finally at the age where I can have hobbies and I started with gardening and I want to add this back into it but I'm still just a beginner but I do hope to do this beautiful pattern hopefully before I have another grandbaby so I can do a blanket for he/she lol.

Now I feel like trying this but with a different colour yarn for the "hidden" chains! Maybe white base yarn and then various alternating vivid colours in the hidden rows. Reckon it would show through much? Could look super cool!

Very interesting manner of creating a puff shell by working in the row below. I will have to try this. Your video is very clear about the process. I have some extra Mandala yarn left over that I might try to use. I will let you know how it works out. I am in the middle of a project and want to finish it first. I just happen to come across this video. So glad I did.

[@TheWirdbird]

It is a lovely stitch. Still working on making it perfect. Thanks so much for all the tutorials!!

[@MariaE6]

I am new to crocheting I have done a few different small projects and a blanket before. I did try this out and it seems like something I will enjoy finishing. The only problem I have so far is that the size of the shells are not consistent. But now that I have noticed, I am sure I can figure this out. Thank you for your video, I really enjoyed watching it and the it, and I found it very inspiring :)

[@JyothiKhushi]

Beautiful pattern thank you very much! I just found that the variation of continuing with row two all the way works too, without row three!

When you get to the length you want how do you finish off the end? This is just beautiful and would like to make a baby blanket using this stitch pattern

[@chai_crochet_conversation]

I wanted to ask the same question!

What you would do is cut a long tail, yarn over and bring it through the loop on your hook to form a knot and then weave in the end
