How to Crochet the Solid Shell Stitch

[@pamelastevenschuler9575]

I really like your tutorials. Your voice is calm and clear, directions likewise clear. It makes it so much easier to learn. Thank you!

[@notsosilentknight]

This is what keeps me coming back to this channel for crochet tutorials again and again!

[@lucybelle5459]

Thank you! I hated the look of the strangled foundation chain, so I added a row of single crochet on top of it. So much better.

[@Tcnuanes1]

Can you explain to me how to do that? I am new and am confused with there being an add 2 for the turning stitches?

[@loveeattravelpray4468]

Exactly. So did you make a foundation chain of multiples of 6 + 3 ?

[@ang3432]

If you work in the back loop of the foundation chain when starting your pattern, it tightens and straightens it.

[@allisonp.1707]

Thank you, Sarah! I had been having a really tough time with this stitch but was finally able to get it with your video. Wonderful tutorial!

[@annastern6599]

I 💕 texture, shell stitches - and your channel. Whenever I’m looking for a new stitch, you come up with the perfect one. Thank you!

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

You’re welcome!

[@zenchisholm6754]

Thanks for teaching a new stitch, with a clear voice and direction. Should teach tutorial on tops or cardigan patterns

[@hc9661]

thanks for this video. I love how it is nice and close so us beginners can see exactly where to put the hook.

[@kelpanimates3788]

Me and my mom are gonna use this stitch to make a blanket with verigated (no idea how to spell it-) yarn. We aren't even done with the chain yet, but it's so pretty already! I'll update you as we continue by editing my comment

[@jeis1121]

Such a wonderful stitch! Starting a baby blanket tomorrow. I can’t wait! 💝

[@derekowen314]

Hi am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find You're attractive and interesting I don't know if we could be friends so we can get to know each other more better thank you🙏

[@chynastarr9823]

This is so easy and beautiful. Thank you for a simple video that gets straight to the point.

[@debradejong4594]

Wanted to learn this stitch and found your video. It was so easy to follow along. Will come back to check out your other tutorials. Thank you! 🤗

[@gwyngilkeson4381]

I can only hope that I can crotchet as fast as you one day! Mesmerizing!

[@chrissiewindsor]

This may sound a little weird, but I love the sound your wooden hook makes when you work with it, it’s as if it comes to life when it’s working. Weird, huh?

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

It weird at all! I love it too! And it’s partially why I don’t edit it out lol

[@chrissiewindsor]

No, please don’t do that! I love that particular Furls design & would treat myself occasionally, but the shipping prices to the UK are outrageous! I’ll keep checking eBay for now.

[@RichTexturesCrochet]

chrissie hardman shipping prices are terrible (to Canada also)! I watch for their sales! They had an amazing one at the start of November for the wooden streamline that I like so I splurged :)

[@chrissiewindsor]

I’ve never seen a sale on! Must watch for that! I’m making the wrap I was raving about & I love it! I used the same yarn and shade as yours, I think it’s called “Lucky Penny?” You’re right, it does feel like cotton. I needed to make it longer than yours so ordered three cakes, I’m a little bit in love, I have to say. Thank you.

[@jettgunnar4676]

You all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!

Hi, Sarah, I wanted to buy your PDF pattern for this stitch. I went on Etsy and could not find it by this name. Do you have it listed under a different name besides the solid shell stitch? Ty ❤

[@passionatecrocheter5990]

Could you use a fountain single crochet to start.

[@paulines1426]

Thank you! Do you know why mine doesn't stay flat. It curls...???

[@AlberthaFontenot]

What type of yarn are you using and how many spoon of yarn you have to use for the solid shell stitch pattern

What, if any, kind of a border would you suggest for a baby blanket made using this stitch pattern? Thx 😀

Lovely pattern... planning to use for a baby blanket

[@deblucas7125]

Do you have a video of how to add a border to this blanket?

[@kyliethao4161]

Does anyone know how to increase or decrease on this stitch? I can't seem to figure it out. For increases, I tried: @ beginning of row 2, I did 5 DC vs 3DC. But when I go back for row 3, I dont have the SC to put 5 DC at the end... so maybe I need to do 6 DC? (I hope this make sense) help~~~

[@chloeburke737]

I have been having the same struggle and ive been looking all over to see if theres any method online but so far ive had no luck🥺🥺🥺

[@kyliethao4161]

@@chloeburke737 I think I figured it out. Instead of 3 DC at the beginning of the row, I did 5 DC & SC in the 2nd ST. And then continued as usual with the 5 DC in the SC and so-forth. For decreases, I'm still figuring that out.

[@trobinson8360]

@@kyliethao4161 thank you I'm going to try this. If you've figured the decrease bit please let us know I'd be grateful xx

[@rosemarynarvaez2285]

I would like more details about the yarn I look for it and I can't find it

[@robinking1601]

I get a big stitch gap between the sc and the first dc of the shell and I think it looks bad. Any tips on how to reduce it? Your example does not have it.

[@kelpanimates3788]

Maybe try to pull the loop on your hook tighter before you pull the loop through the chain?? That hasn't happened to me, but that's the only thing I can think of Edit: I just realized your comment is 4 months old and you probably don't need my advice anymore 😅

[@shanawilliams5350]

Great tutorial, thank you!!

For this one (and most of the older tutorials) I do not have written patterns available yet. It’s on my todo list for the summer :)

Hello how to increase in Shell stitch 🌸🌸

[@xxo8888]

I was hoping to use this stitch to make a tote. Unfortunately I'm working from the bottom up (from the base up) so the shells would be going the wrong way. 😭 Does anyone know a work around?

[@janiewatkins939]

I would like the written patter

[@karenphares8970]

I love your patterns. May I suggest, instead of skip two stitches then in the next chain **** to skip 3 and double crochet into that 3 rd chain. Must be getting older than I thought I am. I've pulled this apart more times than I would have a year ago.. before it dawned on me, skip 2 an crochet in next stitch. Lol I best tell my doctor, I think I am losing it. Also I have made this many times over the last 4 years.

I haven’t calculated how much you’d need for a blanket - this is just the swatch :) you can google a Shell Stitch blanket and then use their given amounts as a guide

I love the pattern, but the sound of that yarn scraping across that wooden hook is very annoying.

[@ElenaAshe]

Pretty, but I’ll look somewhere else. I can’t understand why crocheters still use Ravelry after the horrible, mean and bigoted things the husband and wife said about half the people of this country.
