Thanks for including the finishing row!!! I already knew how to do the shell stitch, but couldn’t figure out how to square off the last row in order to do a border. Nobody on KZbin except YOU thought to include directions for finishing this type of blanket. Your instructions are perfect. So: many many thanks! ❤

[@Brittanyeth]

[@TessBoze]

Thank you❣️

[@donatringo6109]

Thank you for showing how to properly do this stitch. Mine always came to tight no matter how loose I made my stitches. Turns out I never counted the first chain of the DC so I was skipping that one, which you pointed out so well. I will follow you from now on, you are a great teacher !! You have gained another fan

[@dawnbaker9274]

I like this stitch for afghans. 👍💖

[@triciabrown5071]

I always shared how to make that stitch my mom would do it all the time. She tried to show me how but couldn't get the hang of it. It makes me think of my mother.

[@jacqueliesmith1698]

[@charmurry3585]

[@Mari-B]

I really appreciate your tutorial and what helps me is how you change yarn colors.🙂

[@sandraficara7265]

All your blankets are beautiful, I just love the color choices you’ve used!

[@sarag1158]

Thank you so much! I'm doing this pattern because I learned it elsewhere but it didn't include how to finish the top

[@jessdavid2258]

Thank you for this pattern

[@winniechilton3553]

Very beautiful and very good instructions nice and easy to understand i love it. Thank you so much

[@pamelastevenschuler9575]

After watching your videos I aam once again using a Bates inline hook, except mine have the bamboo handle, which I find more comfortable. Thank you for great videos.

[@debbieweilacher4219]

Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@lesliequilter9935]

Great just watched several videos this is the one I remember thank you

[@georgiasherman6423]

I like this pattern I am going to start doing this one

[@lisaspikes4291]

I’ve always been afraid of changing colors, but you make it look easy! I think I’ll try it on my next project.😃

[@kathytincler2446]

Thank you for this, it is very clear. I'm new to crochet a year ago....a slow learner so have only managed so far wash/dishcloths & 2 scarves. What throws me with patterns like the shell st is remembering all the dif changes at the beginning & ending of each row. I'm going to save this in faves & work on it soon. It seems though with all those dc in one stitch that to make even a small lapghan that it would take f o r e v e r!! haha. Thanx for sharing :D

[@pushpa1327]

I love your all very nice but this stitch is very nice

[@sofiablakey6454]

I bought the. Susan Bates ergonomic hooks. They are nice except that I had ordered a set of the Clover Hooks which are almost one inch shorter than the Susan Bates. Since I have small hands feel a lot better.💖💖

[@yombehm4098]

Nice tutorial. Beautiful pattern

[@zoilarivera8866]

I’m here from Doris’s channel (Rose Cottage Studio). I love this stitch, very easy to follow directions❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing🙏🏻

[@lynenaya2690]

I've made several blankets with this stitch. It also works up great in dress and sweaters.

[@kimberlyduncan1053]

I really like this stich. It goes quick

[@debroahkayross4367]

I use this stitch for big and baby stitch.

[@lesleyoliver5582]

This will make a pretty border for the blanket I'm doing now. Thanks. 🐨🐨

[@pampreast9921]

Love changing colors every row....TFS this Beautfiul stitch......

[@Scorpio45Libra]

Excellent instruction!! Thanks! :)

[@aidasoto8443]

Have a lot of scrap. TY I will be doing this stitch and using up my scraps :)

[@vickythoeni3818]

The stitch pattern is pretty neat. Going to start it when I finish my c2c square. I already have these colors in my statch. Have a great day.

[@lorischreiner1591]

Hi Glenda, thank you for the shell stitch. I think the shell stitch is very pretty. Lori Schreiner

[@jerrytigrett1252]

I love that trick with changing colors. Love this pattern, thank you.

[@denischabriddell986]

Glenda that's gorgeous.

[@lindahague774]

Thank you Glenda, this is such a pretty stitch. Maybe a good idea for a scrap blanket using different colors each row.

[@RondaL5]

Love this stitch

[@sandrahilliard7475]

Your right I love it!

[@trishaturner2078]

This is a lovely stitch and what a lovely pattern it makes.

[@wiquilter1]

ve your videos BUT would you please add a timestamp to where you say "the repeat starts here" it would really help us newbies love your videos

[@saadiyashehu8641]

I like it and will do it

[@YarnRealm]

I fell in love with the red heart aruba sea color but I had to stop myself from buying yarn for a while 😢

[@anneramirez9577]

I used a similar pattern once, where the hanging yarn threads were incorporated into side fringes. Just an idea.

[@jollystuikie]

Thank you!

[@ChammiePhillips]

When I change colors a lot I crochet a few rows I stop and weave the ends in, makes it feel a little less daunting.

[@lindagiacomozzi4477]

Would you ever carry the yarn up the side as it is only two colors so all the carried yarn would be covered with a border no ends to weave in

[@amydavis4945]

Linda Giacomozzi That would only work if you are working at least 2 rows of the same colors (or any even number). If you only work one row then your yarn "end" will be at the wrong end of the next row. I hope that makes sense.

[@minukodinaria873]

Glanda your tutorial video is good so easy to understand and remember this shell stitch design. I love your color change way. But I am confuse about both side ends have so many yarns how I can do finishing for that ? Please in your next video can you will show that

[@leighmartin5596]

I like your Shell Stitch also when u double stitch five Crochet to make an pattern.

[@talvinderralmill8945]

Stitch of the week... love to make baby blanket plz do you have the finished sample so I can get to know how to make the border.😀

[@9sandiegal]

Beautiful. I always have trouble with the edges. Not any more

[@TheBabeluvr]

I just finished a gorgeous blanket with this stitch. What edging would you use please? I enjoyed this project so much! Thanks for sharing!

[@nancybain1254]

I have to say I have had quite a time trying to remember when to do three double crochet at the end and when to do it at the beginning. Had to rip out many times until I got it right. I also found it very distracting when learning a pattern, dealing with color changes as well.

[@ChammiePhillips]

I have a question. How can I turn this pattern from double crochet to triple crochet? I have memory issues and can't remember how to convert it. Your instructions are clear and uncomplicated. Thank you!

[@maryellenbowersock5099]

Hi CG! I don't like this stitch, I LOVE it! Thank you!

[@cindyfuller6381]

Love your tutorials! Will you suggest a border please?

[@jhasler47]

I would love to see a border for this stitch

[@beverlykeippel8534]

Also your right the varigated does not show the stitches. I tried. Was disappointed .

[@mystikarain]

If there are no ac mores near for the yarn she is showing you you can get Red Heart SS in Painted Desert print E300_303 at Michaels or Joanns it is almost identical when crocheted up.

[@georgiabutka3770]

Just finished a shell stitch blanket and was wondering how to do this edging on the sides ?

[@carolsnyder7778]

Very pretty stitch!! How many chains would you start off with if you wanted to make a baby blanket? Thank you, Glenda. Love your tutorials!,,

[@CreativeGrandma]

It all depends on what weight yarn and hook size you are using, follow the multiple until you get the width you want then just follow the pattern until the desired length. I hope that helps.

[@donnap164]

I don't know what I did but I got off track. Anyway to find mistake? It's like 7 rows back. I started with a ch of 120 + 2 = 122

[@maggieslittleonesreborns7497]

I think I'll make a multi colored baby blanket

[@bestlovecoach]

This is a beautiful stitch! Do you have a video on how to hide the ends?

[@CreativeGrandma]

I just weave my ends in on the back of my work through the stitches.

[@rohinikrishnamoorthy3943]

How do I make a corner to corner border for this project hiding all the threads left. Please guide me . Thankyou. Enjoyed doing the project

[@brendamccool1892]

Glenda what is the shell stich where they use seven treble stitches and the shell sits in a v stitch? IF YOU KNOW PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I can get a pattern thank you

[@debrariley6825]

I'm making a granny shitch for a baby blanket.. I was thinking about adding a shell stitch as the boader how do I do the shell stitche on granny square corner

[@rubybal5924]

i want to use different colors so what do i do about the hanging threads?

[@lindahamilton8428]

What kind of borfer would you use?

[@annettedabney3445]

How many chains does it take to make a queen size Afghan?

[@rebeccagabbitass444]

I need a definite answer on how many chains please

[@cynthiawatson991]

What do you mean by a double knot?

[@rebeccagabbitass444]

How many chains would you do for blanket for this stitch

[@donna970]

Use a multiple of 6 plus 3. This means that your initial chain can be any length you want as long as the total is evenly divisible by 6 then add the plus 3.so if you wanted your blanket to be 48" wide you would chain multiples of 6 until you reach 48" but be sure the initial chain can be divisible by 6 then add 3 more chains.

[@donna970]

I forgot to tell you not to make your initial chain too tight or you will have a hard time with your first row.

[@rebeccagabbitass444]

But how many chains

[@DoctorLizAtPlay]

At the beginning, the instruction is multiple of 6 plus 2 - how many chains will depend on how big you want the blanket (and the weight of the yarn as well as technique influences this). I think the best way to decide is to make a sample (gauge) with a few rows, and measure it. If you know how wide you want the blanket, you can estimate from the sample.

[@marys.harriman5896]

I always use susan bates, I don't like boyl.
