Crochet Shell In The Rounds Square Blanket

The Crochet Shell Stitch is a wonderful stitch pattern that creates a beautifully textured scalloped design. The Shell Stitch in itself is a versatile stitch. There are many stitch combinations which can be used to create this beautiful stitch. This stitch looks complicated, but its very easy to make. Its made with Double Crochets worked in a single stitch to create the Shell texture and look.

The Shell Stitch can be worked in rows as well as in rounds. Today am sharing the pattern for Crochet Shell In The Rounds Square Blanket. This is a really fun and easy pattern and it works up pretty quick.
