The shell stitch

In the crochet technique there are many points to create blankets, rompers and various objects. In this video tutorial made by YouTuber Bella Coco, you will see how to make the shell stitch.

This really imaginative and particular point is suitable for the realization of baby blankets, it is advisable during the creation of the shell point to use at least two colored yarns to make the best texture of this point.

For this point you have to get: 

• a crochet, 
• a yarn or two of cotton.

Procedure: 

Before starting the work, you must know that this point is a multiple of six plus two. Then start this point by making eighteen chains plus two or twenty. At this point, take the crochet hook into the second jersey and make a high point, jump two stitches and in the fifth work five high double jersey. Jump again two little chains and at the next point make a high point.

Now proceed with these steps until the end of the chains, then either continue with the same color or you can change it to make the second round. Turn the work, make a chain and in the first shirt create three times a double high point, jump two stitches and in the next one make a simple high point. Now, jump again two shirts and in the third one make five double tops, jump two more and then perform a high shirt in the next one. Proceed like this until the end of the second lap.

For the third round, where you can eventually change the yarn, you will have to turn the work and continue by making a chain, jump two stitches and in the third one in the same shirt five times a double top stitch. Then proceed by jumping two stitches and in the next one make a high shirt, jump two more and then run five times a double top shirt again. Repeat this step until the end.
