I have recently found 2 new loves: a vintage shell stitch, and rainbow yarn. I mix the two together to come up with this fabulous rectangular wrap. It just makes me so happy. The wrap is nice and long so you can style it a multitude of ways. You could also make one half as long by just using one skein of yarn and stopping before the second is added on. Either way, you will be the height of style!

TagsFeeling Flirty Lacy Shell Shawl Crochet Pattern
This feeling flirty lacy shell shawl is so light and delicate. Work this crochet pattern from the bottom up. Start with one shell and continue adding a shell to each side as you work up. Since this is made from a yarn cake that has beautiful, variegated colors throughout, there were just two yarn ends to weave in at the end. This lacy shell stitch is achieved by repeating two rows throughout this pattern. One row consists of chain and single crochet stitches. The next row is where the shell is made by working a double crochet in the same stitch five times. I have included photos of the first few rows to help with understanding the pattern. Additionally, there are video tutorials for both left and right hand crocheters. Lastly, there is a chart detailing the row being worked and number of shell stitches per row.
Sea Shells Shawl
The Sea Shells Shawl is made using four crochet stitches which creates this beautiful and intricate lacy shell design. The shawl is crocheted in one piece starting at one end and working in rows all way to the other end which makes it a rectangle shape. It's an absolute dream to work up and can be made quite quickly once you get used to the stitch layout. I would say this pattern is for the intermediate crocheter due to knowing where to put your stitches. I have explained it as well as possible in the free pattern below so if you are a advanced beginner crocheter you may want to try it out. This Sea Shells Shawl pattern is made in one size but in the paid pattern I have included the multiples so you can make it in any size that you would prefer and with your ideal yarn.
Simple Shells Light Wrap Crochet Pattern
So, if you haven’t guessed, I decided to use the Ava yarn from Classic Elite Yarns. It's a beautiful metallic silver yarn; a blend of viscose, wool and polyester. Right off the bat, I had a vision for this particular yarn. And that's how the Simple Shells Light Wrap came into being. This wrap is really delicate and simple to make. It uses the shell stitch which, paired with the subtle metallic yarn, adds a beautiful textural wave to the wrap. It's a lightweight wrap to take on vacations with you or for mild weather. It can also be worn in a variety of ways, so it would be a beautiful holiday gift.
Spring Shells
I have totally fallen in love with this new yarn from Red Heart: It's a Wrap Rainbow. The unique color changes are due to Red Heart using 4 strands of super thin yarn, changing colors one strand at a time. This new free crochet pattern uses a lacy pattern so the beauty of the yarn enhances my Spring Shells wrap. Size: 52″ x 23″ Yarn: Red Heart It's a Wrap Rainbow, 55% Acrylic/45% Cotton, 623 yds/570 m/150 g Whisper 9347 - 1 cake Hook: US-G/6, 4.0 mm
Benita One-skein Shawl
This one-skein crochet shawl pattern uses self-striping yarn to make colorwork easy. This rectangular shawl can also be worn as a scarf in transitional weather. Since it's a one-skein crochet shawl pattern, you won't have many ends to weave in which means you can wear this project as soon as it's finished. This is an intermediate level pattern, but there are only two rows to repeat. Once you get the stitch pattern down, you will find it a relatively mindless and straightforward crochet project. Skills Used Basic crochet stitches: chain, double crochet, single crochet Crocheting flat in rows Crocheting into chain spaces (includes video tutorial) Special stitch: FPcl (includes written description)
