How to Crochet the Reverse Shell Border Using Single Crochet

[@bonniehumphreys3152]

Looked at a lot of different borders for my blanket and saw yours. I fell in love with it, so the reverse shell is the one I'm using. Thank you for making the instructions easy to follow!

[@mzhelenahyde2851]

These instructions were awesome! I love how you show us more than once and don’t speed your way through. You actually teach us, thank you!

[@HeartHookHome]

Glad it was helpful!

[@traceylamanna1590]

You make everything so easy to learn. I’ve watched a lot of different videos and you by far are the easiest one to understand with your instructions.

[@HeartHookHome]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@pattallant2398]

I like this! Would of liked to see you do the corner. 👍😊

[@dianneclarke8040]

This is my favourite border to put on baby blankets. Just love making it. So pretty looking and a great easy tutorial to follow! Thanks, Ashlea!

[@HeartHookHome]

Wonderful!

[@sandyshore1838]

I agree Big Wanda!! Straight to business! Absolutely lovely border and so easy!! Thank you!

[@sandyshore1838]

Also your voice is beautiful to listen to!!

[@kimberlydavenport2972]

You are the BEST!!! You're the easiest to understand of all!!! Thank you so much for being VERY detailed!!! And not too fast!!! You're my FAVORITE!!! I can actually do the shell now. Thanks to you❣️ I will totally subscribe to yours!!!

[@HeartHookHome]

Wow, thank you! I am so glad you found the video helpful!

[@vptori105]

For a beginner like myself this was great! I'm just getting into crocheting and to know I can add in borders after stitching the blanket is awesome. I'm a knitter, and I'm becoming obsessed with crochet

[@caroldaniels7892]

Thanks, it's beautiful. I'm going to do this tomorrow for my granddaughter's blanket.

[@anadinis1271]

Can you do a corner to see how it is?

[@rmuller366]

What a super fun border! Just added in mint green to a white star stitch washcloth and it came out beautiful! Thank you for your good, clear instruction. Can't wait to use it on a blanket.

[@elizabethbrooks5555]

I am finishing this border now on a corner to corner cr blanket for our Grand Annabella...she ask for the blanket to be pink with lavender touches. It is amazing how much this lovely border added to this blankets overall appeal! I am so pleased with it...expecially as it is very time consuming. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Elizabeth.

[@janeh7146]

Thank you for this clear tutorial for a lovely edge. As a variation, I put the first of my three single crochet stitches in the last space of the previous shell. I tried both ways and found this gave a tighter finish that I was looking for. I too wished for extra instruction for corners please.

[@patriciagillmer]

I love this border. It is so easy to do. Your instructions were very easy to follow. Thank you, I have found a new favorite.

[@karenvitu7686]

I love this border. Thank you so much for this wonderful border. I am making shawls for some lovely ladies in a nursing home and I don't put fringe as they get stuck in the wheels of their wheelchairs. The washers at these nursing homes are commercial grade and wreck the fringe work. This border would be perfect. Again thank you. God Bless.

[@HeartHookHome]

I am glad you like it!

[@inesgomara3650]

This is a beautiful border. Can't wait to try it. Thank for sharing

[@PJ-kd1oc]

FABULOUS! Just the right flare to finish off baby blanket for new great niece. Thank you so much. 😃

[@bonniehinshaw3131]

OMG !!!! I have never seen shells done like that ... I love that . I'll definitely be doing that 😍😍

[@annew4003]

Thank you! I was trying to follow written directions for this border, this video really clarified the pattern. 😊

[@HeartHookHome]

I'm so glad!

[@yubidubi]

Great instructions!!!!! Thank you for going right into the instructions instead of telling us about your nail polish, your baby screaming in the background, why your dog or cat is sleeping in the background etc.

[@albertinameireles8497]

Música

[@TheAlabardios]

Yes, exactly! I'm glad you take care of yourself, but I really don't care if you're nail polish matches today's yarn. I also like how she doesn't needlessly repeat herself.

[@jseidel70js]

I've done this a few times and have shared it several times.

[@suzannelaing2968]

So wanted to make a laugh out loud emoji for this comment. Sometimes we need details, say for example for pattern, but stitches we don't need all that waffle.

[@StormCaller5]

I'm making a moon themed blanket for my grandson that's due in a month. This border came the closest I could find to being like tiny moons. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@minahunt7224]

thank you so much from Australia, this is a really easy to understand tutorial for what looks to be a complicated stitch. the effect is quite stunning. the blanket my friends and i crotcheted for a new grand baby was a little narrow so this stitch helped it bulk out a bit as its quite a wide border. Again thank you!

[@annatatonetti5874]

Thank you for great instructions very beautiful border I made a blanket with this beautiful border

[@cherose-annubarra5037]

i was looking everywhere on youtube for the perfect border to finish my baby blanket. your tutorial is easy to follow and the border came out stunning! thank you so much!

[@knotyourgrannysquare2865]

You make the best tutorials! 🙌

[@suecaronia3076]

Thanks for a very informative and easy to understand video! I appreciate you taking the time to make it for all of us!

[@lacyhorton890]

Thank you!! You made a very complicated stitch easy enough for me to do. It's the perfect border for my co workers circle baby blanket

[@jschaller1358]

Just added this border to a nautical-themed lovey. Came out great! Love this border pattern!

[@HeartHookHome]

Wonderful!

[@Honey-_bee]

Awesome instructions, thank you

[@HeartHookHome]

You're welcome : )

[@donaldwoodward6400]

Thanks. I'm going to use this border. I'v always liked the simple shell st. border . This one adds some dimension to it.

[@queencleo1151]

Thanks so much for your great tutorial! The pattern is so easy and pretty ❤

[@HeartHookHome]

Glad you like it!

[@edithgray1302]

May I ask what pattern your blanket is? You make the border look so easy. Thank you for showing.

[@beverlybaker3937]

Gorgeous! You explained it perfectly, so easy to understand. I found a written pattern and got really confused. You made it simple to understand. By the way, if you didn't change the speed on the video, I've never seen anybody crochet so fast!

[@donnafelker8840]

Hi, you can change the speed in Settings. I do this all the time. Go to the settings (gear wheel), click on speed, then choose the speed. Hope this helps!

[@ErlindaC62]

You are so amazing! I love the way you teach a complicated stitch into a doable easy stitch for us beginners. Thanks Again You are a Heap of Help!

[@HeartHookHome]

You're welcome : )

[@Thunder-acro]

@@HeartHookHome Can you please help me on how to do a corner?

[@HeartHookHome]

@@Thunder-acro you'll just straddle them.

[@babygrandma8654]

@@HeartHookHome for a beginner could you plz explain what you mean by straddle them? Thanks

[@HeartHookHome]

​@@babygrandma8654 you'll just make it to where center of the stitch is directly at the center of the corner.

[@sisterhoodbookclub]

I love it and I'm doing this for a niece baby shower. Thanks so much for your help and teaching.

[@SUZYB13]

I just made a baby blanket with the bean stitch and I am going to use this stitch for the border....I,love the way this looks! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@sth.777]

Thank you for a straight-to-it, easy to follow tutorial!

[@jessicawitney5370]

It would be nice to see the video tutorial go round a corner as this is where I sometimes get a little stuck

[@mariaelenaaq5802]

Thank you so much you explain very clearly and easy to follow this pattern now I was able to finish my blouse thxs .

[@bjacks1947]

Thanks sooo much for the pattern and tutorial. Explanation on each was clear and super easy to follow. Plan to use on Hello Kitty afghan.

[@jackiemoore7409]

It's an easy way to finish a delicate project and easy to translate for my french fallowers.

[@vg6790]

Thank you! This is exactly the border I needed. Your instructions were great!

[@kimburton-cook2077]

I have been using this border for my baby blankets and I love it

[@maryhenry6820]

Thank you this is soo simple yet soo beautiful 🤩

[@LinYouToo]

Thank you for demonstrating this beautiful border. I have been looking for something new to try for a queen size blanket border. I think I have hit the jackpot with this edging. I can’t wait to try it.

[@swimmingrose8438]

Thank you for such a great and easy to follow tutorial. I just speed crocheted a baby blanket for my mom's friend in two days and was looking for a nice border for it. I saw this tutorial and took a gamble and decided to try it out. It looks so pretty but I am crying right now because I just ran out of yarn I have about 1/4 of the blanket left to edge :'( This pattern sure does eat up yarn...lol...but i still love it! Will run to the shop tomorrow for more yarn.

[@kimosborne3454]

When you get to a corner do you have to change the pattern or does it just continue round in the same way?

[@sharonopstbaum1023]

So lovely! I am not very experienced in crochet and hope I do the corners correctly. I will definitely try this border. Thanks!

[@marthahathaway5686]

This is turning out great on the baby blanket I am making!! Thank you for your very easy to follow video...by the way, you have beautiful hands...

[@HeartHookHome]

I'm glad it helped and thank you : )

[@tarfah55]

عسووووووله اختى تسلم ايدك يا

[@paulabarnett3465]

Could you show us how to do the corners please?

[@vickieyates9132]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Any tips for the corners?

[@lisamcdonald359]

This border will be perfect for a baby blanket I am working on. Thank you it is beautiful.

[@lindahill4262]

I am getting ready to do this edging on the baby blanket I am just about finish with. The pattern for the blanket I am making is the Crystal Wave stitch. Love your video!!

[@reecebuttercup]

Wow i just found you and i live your relaxing voice. I have done many reverse crochet but they are more of a nautical rope look. I just love this look. Thank you so very much for offering this and here i was just about ready to give up crocheting and only do refashion thrift finds and my art work. Maybe i will hang onto crochet. I do want to track the teens at church how to sew and crochet so i will hang onto your channel as i just subscribed. Thanks again!!!!!😁

[@Saucyakld]

So pretty! Thank you!

[@stuffedmango4744]

What about corners? Anything special for the corners?

[@Ranva1]

So Beautiful. I Really like the way you show and explain it in a patience way. I truly miss that you don´t show how to handle the corners? I can´t figure them out 😓.! I hope to find the answer on another KZbin video. ...But Thanks.!🧶🧶🧶♥

[@maryannprager2431]

this is stunning. I used this on a c2c baby blanket and it is beautiful. thanks for the tutorial.

[@memesmith0811]

I too was thinking of doing it on my c2c blanket

[@annab9847]

If you look closely it looks like her blanket was a C2C .

[@annmariemurphy9432]

Mary Ann Prager Hello did you do this on a c2c. I'm doing a c2c but how did you do the edging before this border. I know it's a single crochet first but do you know where there's a video showing you how to do the first sc row? Love from Ireland xxx

[@komisobaba]

Very nice! Thank you.

[@EverestLeadershipTV1]

[@aprilcronin8080]

I have used this border to finish off a blanket. I have hard not before. I was wondering if you have any ideas as to keeping the shells in the right position. I have to always fix them. I have tried a loose stitch and even tried tightening my stitch. But can not get it to lay like it should with out having to make them lay right. Thank you so much for you time.

[@rosenanda2906]

Thank you very much for this beautiful border. It is so easy to make and the instructionsn too.

[@cathharr08]

Wow...I love this border!!! Very pretty and easy to do. I'm using it for my Spring CAL 2018 with The Crochet Crowd

[@ivankas8903]

It looks beautiful! just have one question for you: how do you do corners? Do you do double shell with one or two stitches in between to create corner?

[@Janihasleftthebuilding]

That's my question too. Was there ever an answer?

[@rhommey111]

I have done this border several times and yes, I do two in the corners so It turns nicely.

[@shalinisami3089]

I am try this and really this is so pretty

[@LoLyPittman]

Which stitch is this blanket?

[@donnafelker8840]

May I ask, what are your base stitches before you start the shells? Thanks! I love your patterns and tutorials. I made the coed cardigan for my friend's husband. It looked great!

[@SilverFlame819]

[@ravenbelote1801]

Lovely border. I'll be using it.

[@xmilax96]

Hi, love this one but have a vouple questions: 1 your base ( in my case blanket) needs to have multiple of 3 amount of stitches right? 2 how do you do corners?

[@cathy5542]

Thank you it looks so pretty I'm going to give it a try !

[@lindamcneely]

I love the border but what pattern is that beautiful blanket??

[@katelynphilbin8483]

I love this border. Mine seems to be curling. Any suggestions before I get too far and have to rip it all out?

You may want to try going up a hook size and see if that helps.

[@wendyblair2845]

When completing the last shell, where do you slip stitch into the front of your first shell to get it to sit right? Is it into the top of the shell, or one of the dc loops at the bottom? Thanks

[@HeartHookHome]

Hi Wendy! You will be slip stitching into the front of the base of that 1st shell...I show where to do that at about the 6:10 minute mark of this video. Hope this helps!

[@1eticketride]

I have made this border before but forgot how. Thanks for going so slow.

Foarte frumos ! Am terminat un sal cu aceasta bordura și îi dă un efect fantastic !!!! Mulțumesc !
