The Corded Shells Stitch Crochet Tutorial! (with easy infinity scarf join)

[@nanetteedmonds5324]

Dear Fiber Spider: you have brought back my interest in crochet again! I tried to learn knitting when I was 12 from a very nice lady but just never could get it. Then, I got my mom to teach me a very basic single and double crochet when I was about 16, and I loved it. Unfortunately, I never learned much more than that, but was able to use those basic stitches enough to do granny squares and shell stitches to make afghans for nursing homes. I eventually had a family and crochet had to go on the back burner to cooking and cleaning and school projects. I’m now 68 and after quilting awhile, I wanted something I could do more mobile. I looked to KZbin and there you were, with your help and patience. On a fixed income now, crochet is a little more cost friendly. I’m currently working on this infinity scarf for a long time friend of my mother. She’s 95 and in Iowa; I think this will be perfect for her in Mandala Ombré Harmony. Thank you again! ❤

"Give it some breathing room". Fiber Spider is the Bob Ross of the fiber arts! Great project.

[@judywitton5100]

Another great tutorial for a beautiful stitch pattern. And thank you so much for the joining technique! It's perfect. So much better than trying to slip stitch the two ends together. It's barely noticeable. Very professional looking.

[@dianecarriere1806]

You are my favourite person with reference to your crochet tutorials. You are responsible for the many Christmas gifts I was able to make.

[@josiepedroza8418]

I like very much.

[@nancyc7639]

Love this pattern and how soothing your voice is during your instructions. Very calming. I looking forward to try this for a shawl. Thank you again for your instructions. God bless.

[@taisakurlow297]

I have knitted an infinity scarf using this stitch. Your instructions were so easy to follow. Thank you for this great easy stitch 👍👍

[@lynnettehoniker5217]

Thanks so much for taking time to make these videos! I’m crocheting again after 50 years (!) and my grandma taught me stitches when I was 8, but I don’t have a clue how to read patterns. With your instruction I’m not afraid at all to tackle more difficult stitches and make gifts for my family and friends. Thank you SO much for your time and effort. I REALLY appreciate it.

[@sweetpickle57]

Thank you, for this pattern. The possibilities are endless. I see this pattern as a beautiful prayer shawl.

[@feliciaodd3116]

I want to thank You again Fiber Spider. I wanted something different, yet super easy for a scarf/belt to go with a sweater I made. Thank You,thank you.

[@kellyjohnson2379]

Hi Fiber, this is the first fan I have been able to complete successfully. You are truly fantastic at teaching. I can’t thank you enough. Kelly

[@lindatrombley3]

you are my top a1 favorite teacher. i get it right with you and not everyone else

[@lindatrombley3]

i always make my fpdc tight as it looks neater to me but it can be done either way

[@dorisperry5004]

Thank you for this quick and easy pattern...it works well with just about any weight yarn...even cotton...with just an adjustment of a hook size...Thanks Again...and it's still soft and stretchy....

[@jenhowell8535]

It was brilliant, thank you. I now have a beautiful butter cream coloured cotton infinity scarf to gift to my lovely elderly neighbour, who is always sharing her vegetable garden offerings with me. I’m so pleased. 🥰

[@nightowl4137]

👍🏻 I love the way you joined the ends together 👍🏻🤩

[@sharonmachado6185]

What a wonderful teacher you are. Thank you so much 😊

[@monicadowdall4144]

Hi my name is Monica im living in Ireland 🇮🇪 I cant read a Crochet pattern I came across your channel by accident. I thank you with all my Heart for your channel you are amazing thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤ Bless you x

[@rosannafrancis4577]

I love your tutorials. I past 1 1/2 years I have made no less than 6 queen sized blankets, from your patterns. I inherited my mother's yarn stash when she died, and I had my own stash of store purchased and home spun. I was drowning in yarn, then I found your channel. You have saved my house from stash overload. Thank you so very much.

[@blancasantiago2676]

Awww my favorite crochet teacher, how much I love you and your videos. Your awesome, god bless you...

[@taniarakete8764]

Love this, its stretchy, snuggly and sooo warm...thankyou...

[@juliehayed2242]

Brilliant tutorial beautiful pattern thankyou

[@paulakoncki4029]

Thanks to you I cannot put my Crochet Hook down! I stumbled across Fiber Spider by looking up something els and was fascinated with his tutorials, thought to myself, well I have never learned to crochet lets give it a try! I never stopped crocheting! made scarfs, 4 Blankets and top! Ever time I watch his tutorials I get new tips like this one. Thanks Craig ! I also love his Audios!! 🥰❤️🧶

[@Melissa-rh3ro]

Great example of a stitch that's easy to work but not boring to look at. Thanks again Fiber Spider

[@candygrubisic]

Quite pretty. Sometimes I think it's the yarn that makes or breaks a project and that smile rainbow made that fabulous.

[@beccabbea2511]

You are correct about the yarn making or breaking a project. I've nearly finished a möbius scarf using this pattern and the yarn is, for me, just right. The only difference I have made is to do all the rows as front post. I'm planning on making a matching slouchy hat (I look silly in a beanie) and fingerless mitts. One small problem. I need to visit a yarn shop for another ball of yarn. Oh dear me! 😃

[@jodievenzon]

I’m doing this now and you’re the best no bestest. More power and more tutorial.

[@patriciabresett2897]

Each tutorial keeps getting better! Many thanks for all the fun!

[@prayingwifeandmama4251]

Thank you for another great tutorial!! Everything I have made from your lessons has been a huge success-bringing lots of happiness all round!

[@kymberlyeruleman308]

OMGOODNESS! I am making this scarf to match another one of your videos i did earlier today! It was a cute hat! Thank you for such easy to follow videos!

[@beliagarcia120]

Hi Craig...thank you so much for this pattern. I have made a rectangle blanket for my sister and several baby blankets. I am going to make a lap blanket for my friends Mom and then a scarf.🥰

[@barbarahill904]

Thank you so much for the TIP on pulling up the stitch when doing FPDC & BPDC .... I always wondered why my stitches seemed to pull a little. I'm making this scarf right now & my FPDC & BPDC are not pulling. Thank you ... You are the BEST !!!!!

[@lisadoshier4670]

Love the pattern. Good morning everyone

[@carolyncoeburn1791]

That’s just lovely! I’m adding this to my saved videos.

[@laurapian7737]

Thank you so much for this! I have such a perfect yarn for this, but have frogged out 3 previous patterns before finding this one. Not only does it work, but with every row I say to myself "wow, this is so beautiful"..... I am making this as a scarf for my son's new girlfriend. She's going to love it. Thank you again!

[@sonyajeffries5705]

This is beautiful fibre spider. It would be lovely as a sweater or a waistcoat. I already have some great ideas. Thank you.

[@deborahb.7222]

I love you--how you said to just go in the space at the end of the row, you didn't judge. ;) So many times, other patterns say to go into top of 3 chains. It's great. I am making a wrap out of it.

[@brendacooper8905]

I love watching you! You explain everything so clearly. I will definitely be crocheting this one. Love love love the way you joined it!!!

What type of yarn are you using?

@@linedanzer4302 regular Red Heart in the colors Papaya pooling and white.

[@linedanzer4302]

@@meescha2798 Nice! Perfect weight and softness. I'll bet on it coming out beautifully.

[@meescha2798]

@@linedanzer4302 thank you, I think it is. I don't normally use white yarn but I really like the Papaya color, so bright, and thought white is what I need to use. .

[@linedanzer4302]

​@@meescha2798 I do all white afghans as wedding gifts and sometimes for babies as Christening or Baptism gifts. I can already imagine the finished product using this stitch in all white yarn. And the beauty is, you can make it large or small because the texture will make it a very warm blanket.

[@heidigeib2660]

Thank you! Never done a cowl before & this looks perfect!

Thank you for teaching this stitch. Going to make a lap robe for a man using claret rouge Bordeaux from Lion brand. Anxiously starting.

[@antoinettebilocca9868]

Thank you I’m making a vest with this stitch your tutorials are so easy to follow 😘

[@fippy]

Hi Craig, I've made a few of your patterns and I love this one just as much. I found that doing a treble instead of a double crochet for the posts in-between the shells made the pattern sit a bit better and gave it more room to avoid curling. Thanks again, Fip.

[@irisyolandamartinez6057]

Hope you have a nice coming year.

[@donnacurtis1344]

I love looking at your tutorial and you explain so clearly. 😊 thank you

Nice beautiful pattern. Smart technique to crochet them together, it look more sophisticated. I like your way to develop new patterns. You are very good at it, and your tutorials are great. I will use this patter sure.

[@janetlepre7555]

Thank you!!!! Love this and so easy to follow! You did it again!! I will be making this tonight- have a surplus of Shawl in a Ball which seems perfect for this stitch. Thank you for sharing your creative efforts 🙏🏻❤️ 🧶

Thanks. I actually did front post & back post Triples instead of the long FPDB & BPDB. LOL...personal preference for a tighter weave on the post stitches. Appreciate the tutorial, Fiber Spider.

Very beautiful pattern and video - thank you very much!

[@kathyeubanks5524]

That is a very clever join! I know I can always count on you for new stitches to challenge myself, and even though I’m not very experienced, your tutorials are so clearly presented that I feel confident enough to follow along and achieve success. Thanks so much!
