Shell Stitch Crochet Pattern - How to Crochet a Shell Stitch - Crochet Tutorial

[@naztazia]

I'm a big fan of shell stitch patterns for crochet, how about you?

[@kristinradams7109]

Absolutely. This is one of my all time favorites :) I have a question regarding a pattern I once found, which was a shell stitch triangular shawl. I haven't been able to find it, but it was so cool! You start with the long end, and then decrease the shells in each row after that until you finally get down to the small tip of the shawl. Do you know of a way to duplicate this? Or, have you ever seen this pattern? Thanks! This is one pattern that got away from me that I miss the most. I liked it so much because each row got smaller and smaller and felt very satisfying in a way that I haven't seen in other patterns. Cheers :)

[@mwelch9555]

I still have the first shawl I made and it was a triangular shaped shell stitch pattern. I wish I had that pattern, too. I could be wrong but I think it was on the back of the yarn package. It was my grandmother and aunt's pattern and they helped me with it❤️ (I was about 8 yrs old... guessing it was 1973 or 74 if that helps on locating pattern)

[@kristinradams7109]

@@mwelch9555 I will definitely try looking for this in the more vintage patterns. I actually found this pattern online years ago, and i can't find it again to save my life. This one was SO easy! I love this one because you start with the longest side of the triangle, and work your way down to the final tip on the last row. When each row gets smaller, it just goes so fast. I will search for it until I find it, because it's driving me nuts Lol!

[@naztazia]

@@kristinradams7109 That would be called a "top down shawl." There are a decent number of patterns out there for them, but not a ton. For what it's worth, from a designing perspective, it's easier to accommodate more sizes for an audience (XS through 4X) by starting at the bottom point of a triangle shawl and just add more rows. XS might have 50 rows while a 4X might have 65 rows. With top down shawls, as a designer, you have to account for all the different possible widths with the initial chain.

[@kristinradams7109]

@@naztazia Thank you so much! I appreciate your insight. That makes a lot of sense in terms of sizing. I love your videos. You're an awesome teacher, and I appreciate your response so much :)

[@mkmccue]

I'm a hands on learner and I like that I can pause and go back, see exactly what I'm doing and compare with your simple narration. Thank you! Very beautiful.

[@naztazia]

Wonderful!

[@doramcgregor821]

Oh me to! I need that to know how to make it! Thank you for saying that!❤!

[@b.j.4657]

I could watch you all day. You are the best teacher

[@naztazia]

Thank you!

[@katel9281]

This is so much nicer than the shell stitches stacked on top of each other.

[@naneek4702]

I absolutely love this pattern! And I also love how you don't explain how to do every stitch as you do it. There is a time and a place for that but I have been crocheting for 50 years and I know exactly how to do the stitches and I just want to get to learning a pattern. Thanks for such a beautiful one today! 🌻

[@naztazia]

Happy to help!

[@meredithpowers5252]

This is THE BEST shell stitch tutorial I have ever seen - looks so neat and precise. So much prettier than many of the other shell stitches!

[@naztazia]

Thanks so much 😊

[@doramcgregor821]

Hi, I love your shell your pattern but, how do I find your how to's on here? I need to watch someone show me how to crochet it?

[@brenda3650]

I just want to say I love this shell Stitch with that Row in between this is the best one I've seen in all my years of crocheting and that's a lot of years and you explain very well very well thank you

[@bellegold2303]

Just finished making a baby blanket for a coworker and I have to say that this video is amazing. The instructions are super simple, anytime that I got confused. I could just come back to the video and figure out what to do next. The blanket turned out beautifully ❤

[@naztazia]

Happy this could help!

[@misstigerrose]

I have had so much trouble learning the shell stitch but managed to learn this by watching bits of the video and reading the transcript and I feel so good about finally getting this stitch down to basics enough to practice it again

[@naztazia]

Wonderful!

[@helenvaldes]

Finally i have found a beautifull.shell stitch that i understand. Thankyou for shareing youre talent.

[@naztazia]

Happy to help!

[@rishrish208]

Ugh, thank you so much for not treating your audience like babies! I understand that some are beginners but these kind of tutorial doesn't need gradual and too much explanation --- as they should make advanced stitch/project if they are already knowledgeable of the basic stitches and abbreviation in crocheting.

[@87megana]

This is a perfect tutorial. Thank you so much for moving quickly through the pattern! I'm using it to make a toilet paper cover for my mom.

[@donnacalliham6891]

I love how clear and simple you are easy to follow thank you

Always happy to help!

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

This is such a pretty pattern! I'm kind of new to crocheting and am learning the shell stitches. You explained this so well. The only thing is I'll have to rewatch it a few times because you move your hands so fast. 😆 I hope once I give this a try my patterns look similar to yours.

[@naztazia]

KZbin also has a "slow down" setting too if needed - click on the gear icon, and set playback speed to .5 or .25.

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

@@naztazia I didn't even think about KZbin giving play speed options. Thank you for the advice, I will definitely try that!

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

Slowing it down is helping tremendously! Specially now that you can zoom in on KZbin videos. I'm able to see what I couldn't see as well before. I am however thinking about starting over to loosen my starting chain a bit and to swap colors from turquoise and cream in my second row like you did to help me distinguish what I'm doing better. So far so good though. I'm super excited to be creating a shell pattern! Aside from basic stitches I've only learned the V stitch prior to the shell. 🙂

[@gyounce1]

Love this stitch ❤ it's gorgeous!

[@naztazia]

Thanks so much!

[@roshanmussa5984]

I love these shell which, I've done a few in baby rugs......I'm going to do another of your pattern as i like this one so much, using my different colours of yarn........starting from this week...( hopefully ) 💚💙🧡💜❤

To slow down the video, touch the screen, touch settings symbol in the upper right hand corner. You will see a list of options, select play back speed to slow. Someone taught me so I am sharing the information, be blessed. 🙏
