@Shaheeda4ever 2 chains - 1 shell. The written instructions are posted in the video details. You can also visit the link to my crochet blog, which will provide a symbol chart.
Hi Theresa I'm woking on a shell stitch baby blanket and was wondering how I can add a border to it, and I saw you have a video on how to straighten out a shell stitch should I use that too so the border is even all the way around? Like so it wont be ruffledmon top because of the shell stitch?
I have been crocheting for less than a month, I made a baby blanket from this video, booties and a hat from your other video's for my soon to be grandson. I have friends who can not believe I can crochet these things so soon! I have one who has been crocheting for 12 years, says she had trouble with this pattern, I sent her your link :-)
I have used your videos to teach myself to crochet and you are an amazing teacher. I have a quick question though, how would I go about making a straight edge once I'm finished with my piece?
I was wondering if it was possible to do different designs, like a basket weave pattern or DC pattern, along with this shell method, and at the same time for the blanket to come out proportional. I started off w/ the shell, but if I wanted to have rows of DC how could I accomplish it? BTW I love your videos!
So, I used the 5.5 size hook and the 4ply yarn. I tried chaining the suggested number of chains, but it seemed too short so I added about ten-ish more? It still seems like the blanket isn't long enough. I'm trying to decide if I make it longer to compensate for the width, but I was wondering if, with the edging, can I do a second row of edging? Would that work?
I have finished the baby blanket but I want to do some type of border...like a wavy edging. I tried to do a straight edge and it looks all wrong..so I undid it. Any suggestions?
@KatieK0605 What I would suggest is that you carry the pattern to the 3 remaining edges to form your border, using the pattern of the afghan. When you get to the corners, you will want to work them full so they do not pucker.
I love your crocheting videos, they are so helpful, thank you. I was wondering can you make a video on how to make the edging in this video, or at least explain how to do it? I made a blanket similar to it using the shell stitch technique but I'm not sure how to make the edging, please help. youtube.com/watch?v=h1reMKQYQMY&feature=related
I'm new to crocheting. It is very calming to me even thou I'm very slow at it. I've been wanting to learn how to do this stitch and with your videos I will be learning it and a lot more. Thank you so much for sharing..
I am wondering if I could do the sngle croche foundation row for making a blanket with this stitch ?
I am having difficulty keeping the work stright ....after I finished 5 rows of a practice the "tail" of my first row wasn't sitting where it should be but the rest looked fine any suggestions are apprciated TY and KEEP STITCHIN'
I love your videos Teresa!! I have been crocheting for about 10 years now and I absolutely love it!! When I'm looking for new stitches or ideas I always end up here sitting by your fire~~
You touch the lives of so many people by giving them the gift of creating comforts with their hands! Thank you for your continuous inspirations!!

@topazio This is a video that shows how to make a baby blanket. You will make a chain of approximately 150 and then make the stitch across the row and each row after. Continue for the length.

@dlremy1962 Which end was wider, the starting row or the row where you ripped? Before you took them apart, did you count to see if you had the same amount of stitches that you started with?
Thank you so much lady Teresa, I'm having fun learning all of your scarf patterns, you make it abvious and easier than it looks, specially this pattern which I found in the magazine I got from your givaway the past monthes, it was just too complicated for me to follow from the pattern there! Thanks again <3
@silentwriterofpa I would suggest about a chain of 200-240. You may end up with extra chain. If you do, just sew it in between the stitches. I have a video that shows how to take care of the extra chain and never recommend that a person rip because of extra chain.

Thanks for the instruction and the tips! Your work is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! :)
@extremereasons Hello, I'm not Teresa, but I'm sure she won't mind if I butt in. I know she'll get back to you too, but in the meantime.... Teresa is using an "I" hook for this project. This way you can get started on your project. Happy Crocheting!
Absolutely perfect Teresa. Out of all the crochet videos I have seen, yours' are by far the most instructional. I have never had a problem with learning any new stitch from you. I am an avid crocheter for 30 years now and still have trouble deciphering written patterns. Keep up the great work!!! :)
Teresa, you are a miracle in my life. You will truly be blessed for the help you provide to so many. My husband & step-son are both avid hunters. I have crocheted them both camo beanie hats which they love & I would like to whip up scarves for them in the same camo yarn for Christmas, but don't think a pattern would show, would it? Is it best to just DC all the way thru? I would also like it to be soft. I await your help with bated breath. Regards, Karen
@kk37128 I will also welcome anyone's input if they know of a masculine pattern that would work with a multi-color yarn. Thanks for your help in advance, which I desperately need in time for Christmas.
@silverskn17 30 years, huh? So glad that there is someone else with that many years crocheting and can't decipher written patterns. I am a beginner, starting late last year, and patterns are so confusing, I just don't get them. thank-goodness for youtube!
this is great. i've been crocheting for over 35 years and taught my daughters when they were young. my youngest lives in canada and i live in florida, and she wanted me to walk her through how to begin a project on the telephone, but now i'm going to recommend this site to her. thanks
Teresa, you are an absolute God-send for those of us who love to crochet and learn new stitches but struggle to read the 'gobbly gook' they post as patterns - thank you so very, very much for your amazing videos. I wish major yarn companies would hire you to teach their free patterns - I would definitely purchase their yarn to make the patterns if I could follow your videos instead of decoding the written patterns. (hint hint, nudge nudge!) Thank you - keep on teaching and posting! Kim
Hey Teresa..I am a man that has crocheted since he was a child of 9....I am now 46 and I am useing this pattern to make my daughter a afghan....you made this so simple, it is totally unreal how quick I picked this up...you was a tremendous help to me, and I will be watching more of your videos....thanks again....Robert
Thank you for this...I just picked up a baby blanket with this stitch that I started several years ago before we moved...for the life of me, couldn't find the pattern. Now I can finish! Thanks so much. Great video!

Hi Teresa love all your designs and please post more new designs. Follow all the instructions on your video its very precise and very educational and a step by step instructions. Thank you very much.
I have been searching for this stitch all night and half of today! I've made many blankets using this stitch but I couldn't remember it for a baby boy blanket I"m starting today. I have a while/blue blended yarn that is going to look adorable. Thanks so much for having this stitch here on YouTube.com. You saved me today!
Hi Teresa i just wanted to let you know that i managed to teach myself crochet by using your videos and now have made several baby blankets for neighbours and friends. I just used this stitch as a border for my latest creation and it looks great. Thank you very much for all your help and i will continue to use your videos in the future xxx
You have helped me through some really tough times in my life. I found crochet, and you, later than some, but I LOVE it. You were the only one able to teach me. Thank you for that and keep up the good work. BTW i am making a "towel" out of this stitch to give as a housewarming gift. She is gonna flip.
Really great instructions. I really appreciate the way you demostrate how to count the chain stitches to achieve the shells. Thanks so much, you have helped me so many times with stitches.
Finally, I found someone who can teach me this stitch. It is so easy to follow. Thank you so much. I am so relieved. I can start complicated patterns now.

I have kind of a silly question but I'm going to ask it anyway. I am making a baby afgahn. I want to use the edging. Do I use the edging only when I'm finished with the afgahn or do I start stitching around in circles?

Your video is awesome. I am a beginner, you have helped me so much I am almost done with my baby blanket. Thank you, i don't know what i would have done without you.
awesome! love ur videos.. thanks for takin ur time on makin these videos for all the beginners like me.. u clear all the questions i had buyin a book that had me breakin my head for two weeks... its a good thing we have youtube 2 :))
... rnd3: ch3, dc in joining(starting cluster made),*ch3, sc in next loop, ch3, holding back on hook the last loop of each dc, 2dc in next sc, thread over and draw through all loops on hook(cluster made). Repeat from*around, ending with ch3.join to first dc. If I could just pass that rnd 3 I think I would be good to go, but it just doesn't look right..If you could help out, you would be awsome! Thank You
Hi, I am trying to crochet a pineapple tablecloth, and I got stuck pretty much in the beginning with the cluster stitch. Would you be able to explain how to do the following pattern..rnd1: ch1, sc in ring(ch2, sc in ring) 7 times; ch5, dtr in first sc to form a loop.(8lps)..rnd2: ch1, sc in loop just formed, ch7,(sc in next loop, ch7) 7 times; sl st in first sc...
I have not crocheted very long, but this was so easy to learn. I'm making the baby blanket now with white yarn. Its beautiful!! I want to make a bed spread. How many stitches would I need?
I really appreciated this video, you explained things well and went slowly. I know I can do this :) I used to be able to read instructions but I do so much better watching someone do it. Thank you...I'm going to replay this and grab some yarn and a hook.
I love your work! I'm a 54 year old disabled man, I learned crochet last year from my girlfriend and have been hooked on it since, making blankets for a pet rescue, and baby blankets for a hospital. Your videos have definitely helped me learn not just the stitches but new ways of looking at things, how to be more creative myself. I just finished a slanted shell pet blanket in honey and beige 4-ply and am now starting a baby blanket with 3-ply yarn in lilac and blue. Thanks for all of your help!
if i wanted to make a baby blanket how many yarns packages would i need total? and what matterial or brand would you reccommend, I could not find it on your website.
@hisgermansunshine I do not endorse any brand and like to let people choose from the many types of yarn available. An afghan can be worked with 3 or 4 ply yarn. I would estimate that 1631 yards would make a nice size baby afghan.

this video was very easy to follow. i've been crocheting for 15 years and i'm glad somebody started to make instructiona videos. your patterns are pretty and easy to do after watching the video.
Hi Teresa, when you switch colors there are two "tails" that hang off. Since a knot has been tied, is it safe to cut off the tails or is there another method of weaving the string into the pattern that's a little safer? Thank you!
@puurrrrr You will make sure that the yarn is knotted and secure. Then you will sew it is. If you were to cut it off, you will risk your yarn coming apart and unraveling. I will send you a video link on sewing in tails.
Im only just starting to crochet, this video is soo easy to follow, i love it but what changes to it do i have to make if i want to crochet a BIG adults blanket using to shell stitch?
I've seen a pattern similiar to your slanted shell stitch. But it used a slip stitch, chain 2 and two double crochets into the same hole. Then the next stitch went into the space between the first and second double crochet. and it continued with the slip stitch, chain 2 and 2 double crochets. Have you done something similiar to this stitch before? If so what is it called? I'm having problems with the ends of the rows and how to start the next rows.

I have bought two video's from my craft stores. These videos are much more confusing that need be. Someone suggest your video's on YouTube. Oh my gosh, I have learn so much in the short time I have watched your videos than the hours I spent learning nothing on the store bought videos. You are a great teacher. Thanks for sharing your talents with the rest of us.
Teresa, I just want to thank you so much for all your wonderful videos! They have really helped. I teach a crochet class at my sons elementary school twice a week and I always tell my students to watch your videos! ~ Marie
Hello Teresa, I am glad for all your videos .I always new how to do the stitch but never how to put anithing togheter... Thank to you now i know how to do some staff ... I was wondering if you can tell me how to make a poncho with the slanted shell stitch I like the pattern a lot. and thank you again.
If i were to do a full baby blanket about how many should i chain so i can start this stitch ? Adn since Im a beginner when i start a new row I just add one more chain correct ? Also do i need to flip the work to the other side for each new row ? Thanks
Thank you. You will do approximately 125-150 for a baby afghan. There are detailed written instructions with a symbol chart posted on my crochet blog. You will find the link under "More Info" next to my picture.
does every 5 shell stitches mean 27 chain?

@extremereasons Hello, I'm not Teresa, but I'm sure she won't mind if I butt in. I know she'll get back to you too, but in the meantime.... Teresa is using an "I" hook for this project. This way you can get started on your project. Happy Crocheting!

Absolutely perfect Teresa. Out of all the crochet videos I have seen, yours' are by far the most instructional. I have never had a problem with learning any new stitch from you. I am an avid crocheter for 30 years now and still have trouble deciphering written patterns. Keep up the great work!!! :)

Teresa, you are a miracle in my life. You will truly be blessed for the help you provide to so many. My husband & step-son are both avid hunters. I have crocheted them both camo beanie hats which they love & I would like to whip up scarves for them in the same camo yarn for Christmas, but don't think a pattern would show, would it? Is it best to just DC all the way thru? I would also like it to be soft. I await your help with bated breath. Regards, Karen

@kk37128 I will also welcome anyone's input if they know of a masculine pattern that would work with a multi-color yarn. Thanks for your help in advance, which I desperately need in time for Christmas.

@silverskn17 30 years, huh? So glad that there is someone else with that many years crocheting and can't decipher written patterns. I am a beginner, starting late last year, and patterns are so confusing, I just don't get them. thank-goodness for youtube!

Teresa, you are an absolute God-send for those of us who love to crochet and learn new stitches but struggle to read the 'gobbly gook' they post as patterns - thank you so very, very much for your amazing videos. I wish major yarn companies would hire you to teach their free patterns - I would definitely purchase their yarn to make the patterns if I could follow your videos instead of decoding the written patterns. (hint hint, nudge nudge!) Thank you - keep on teaching and posting! Kim

If you want to make a shawl in that stitch make a chain of 60
and and two more before you start. I'm using a pretty yarn
called Tweed Stripes and the color is called Mixed Berries
and another color to mix with is called Marble which is a
grey and silver mix. The Mixed berries is a red and burgandy
mix. It's really pretty.

Repeat from*around, ending with ch3.join to first dc. If I could just pass that rnd 3 I think I would be good to go, but it just doesn't look right..If you could help out, you would be awsome!

Would you be able to explain how to do the following pattern..rnd1: ch1, sc in ring(ch2, sc in ring) 7 times; ch5, dtr in first sc to form a loop.(8lps)..rnd2: ch1, sc in loop just formed, ch7,(sc in next loop, ch7) 7 times; sl st in first sc...

I love your work! I'm a 54 year old disabled man, I learned crochet last year from my girlfriend and have been hooked on it since, making blankets for a pet rescue, and baby blankets for a hospital. Your videos have definitely helped me learn not just the stitches but new ways of looking at things, how to be more creative myself. I just finished a slanted shell pet blanket in honey and beige 4-ply and am now starting a baby blanket with 3-ply yarn in lilac and blue. Thanks for all of your help!

hisgermansunshine 1 year ago
@hisgermansunshine I do not endorse any brand and like to let people choose from the many types of yarn available. An afghan can be worked with 3 or 4 ply yarn. I would estimate that 1631 yards would make a nice size baby afghan.

Hi Teresa, when you switch colors there are two "tails" that hang off. Since a knot has been tied, is it safe to cut off the tails or is there another method of weaving the string into the pattern that's a little safer? Thank you!
puurrrrr 1 year ago
@puurrrrr You will make sure that the yarn is knotted and secure. Then you will sew it is. If you were to cut it off, you will risk your yarn coming apart and unraveling. I will send you a video link on sewing in tails.

@princess123655 the multiple is 5+2 so just crochet any multiple of 5 (ex. 40, 45, 50, etc.) then add 2 to the end.

I've seen a pattern similiar to your slanted shell stitch. But it used a slip stitch, chain 2 and two double crochets into the same hole. Then the next stitch went into the space between the first and second double crochet. and it continued with the slip stitch, chain 2 and 2 double crochets. Have you done something similiar to this stitch before? If so what is it called? I'm having problems with the ends of the rows and how to start the next rows.

The size of the hook should relate to the size yarn you are using.
