Crochet Openwork Shell Stitch Free Pattern: A Versatile Stitch

This stitch is very easy to crochet, and it looks beautiful too. The Constance Vintage Shawl is so delicate and pretty, and it features this lovely stitch. Crocheted with fine DK/light 3 yarn, this shawl is very feminine. This shawl is part of my Vintage Crochet Series.

This crochet stitch is very intricate, yet it is very easy to crochet. This stitch is also crocheted with a simple one row repeat, which makes this stitch perfect if you want a relaxing and mindless project to make.

The Juliette Shawl from last Summer also features this stitch. I love how this crochet stitch can be used for many different projects, and I’m looking forward to crocheting many more projects with this simple stitch!

Crochet Openwork Shell Stitch Free Pattern: A Lacy Stitch

Lacy stitches are so delicate and feminine. I love how simple yet intricate these stitches are. Last week, I released the arches and fans stitch, which is also a beautiful and fun stitch to make.

I love publishing new stitch patterns, as these stitches are so beautiful and many different projects can be made with these simple stitches. Recently I have also been releasing different square designs, which are also perfect for lots of different designs.

Crochet stitches and squares are really good as these can be used for many different designs. These crochet projects are both beautiful and feminine. I hope you enjoy these new patterns and tutorials, please let me know in the comments if you enjoy these stitch patterns.
