Shells Symphony Crochet Stitch | Crochet with Aabhar
Shells Symphony crochet stitch creates an elegant and delicate crocheted fabric. The shell stitches in each row are strategically placed to sit on top of the chain spaces of previous row. This staggered placement creates the beautiful, repeating diamond-shaped openwork. The chain spaces and the placement of the shells also naturally form the scalloped, undulating edges of the fabric.
The pattern repeats over 3 rows and 10 stitches with scalloped edges at the working end. You can make decorative runners, covers, and shawls with this crochet pattern.
