March 5, 2010, Newsletter Issue #85: The Shell Stitch

Tip of the Week

The shell stitch is that beautiful fan-like stitch that is often used to trim blankets, baby items, and even the edging of sweaters.  It's usually done in multiples of 4 stitches:  1 single crochet, skip a stitch, 5 double crochet stitches into next stitch, skip 1 stitch, 1 sc in next st.  Keep repeating this pattern around the edge of your item.
