Shell Shorts
Robin's Egg Slanted Shell Washcloths
These washcloths were originally named "slanted shell" but they actually use the Suzette Stitch pattern - a combination of simple single crochet's and double crochet's. This stitch pattern is one of my favorites! The combination of the two stitches together creates a nice cushion, and also a great texture. The beautiful feminine shell stitch here makes this the perfect gift for her or just for yourself! These would also make a wonderful gift for mom this Mother’s Day! You'll need about 45 minutes to work one up.
Crochet Shell Stitch Round Doily
Give it a try to make this shell stitch round doily. It's easy to make with no budget. To add some beauty to your home decor, make these lovely doilies. In fact, you can match the color scheme of your doily with the decoration of your home or room. You need cream cotton yarn, rosemary peaches, crochet hook, yarn needle, and scissors.
Crochet Shell Doily
Crocheted doilies are always very popular. They are quick and easy designs to crochet while watching TV and are great for your tabletops around the home. Free crochet doily patterns are a great way to practice crochet and relax at the same time.
Watermelon Coasters
I like my coasters in single crochet cotton. I think it makes them really absorbent (because who wants that icy glass to get water all over your tables). If you are like me, nothing quite says summer like watermelon. The days get longer. It's time for bare feet, shorts and sunshine. And when you head to the store, there is the most enormous box of whole watermelons that you've ever seen and then you know… you know… summer is truly here. If you liked my citrus coasters, you might just like what I've got for you today.. crochet watermelon coasters!
Simple Shells Washcloth: Quick and Easy Textured Stitch Pattern
The Simple Shells Washcloth is made with alternating rows of solid stitches and groups of shells, creating a pretty surface for scrubbing anything you need in the bath and kitchen! This washcloth is worked in rows using chains and double crochet stitches. You can easily customize the stitch repeat in multiples of 5+2 (+2 for the turning chain), then work any odd multiple of rows. While you don't see the term shell in the specialty stitch and technique section of this pattern, the group of five double crochet stitches worked into one place is a shell. Either way of writing the instruction is correct, and we hope beginners enjoy the simplicity in this version (the stitch chart should help, too). THIS IS A GREAT PATTERN BECAUSE: Washcloths are fun projects to learn new crochet stitches (especially when you follow our crochet chart with the written instructions)! You can use these in the bath or kitchen (plus, they make great gifts)! This project works great with cotton yarns (just one skein or less)! You'll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: rows, stitch tension, stitch counting and recognition, shells (5 double crochet stitches into 1 space) , borders, gauge and size, finishing techniques and more!
