How To Make a Crochet Blanket with Closed Shell Stitch Pattern

Crochet Shell Stiches are my favorite. They are just so pretty to look and they make the most pretty rich and textured crochet projects. Its a very easy and quick working stitch. There are different versions of the Shell Stitch pattern. Often they are worked in a bunch of 5 Double Crochets. These bunch of stitches combined other basic crochet stitches creates beautiful stitch patterns.

Today am sharing the pattern Crochet Blanket with Closed Shell Stitch. Its a beautiful stitch pattern made with Double crochets and Single Crochets. Its a One Row Repeat pattern that really works up fast. Its a reversible stitch pattern that looks the same on both sides. This stitch works the best for Crochet Scarves , Clothing Accessories and Pillow and Blanket Patterns.
