Thanks for your video. I had learned the shell stitch many years ago and didn't quite get the hang of it then, but having it on hand and do step by step with you I think I can manage it this time around. This will be my next scarf project. Thanks for your time!
@the1963... I'm just learning how to crochet an I made my first scarf...now I wanna learn how to do this pattern an i want a nice lenght scarf how long is my first chain suppose to be so the scarf don't b so short...plz answer me
Teresa, thanks for all the great videos! My two daughters and I have been making this scarf. My daughters made this scarf for all their close friends for Christmas!
I saw some long booties, the ones that go to the knee. Can you do a pair of them? I would love to make some with the scarf for my daughter that is getting ready to leave for the Army in June.
This would make a beautiful blanket for my daughter's baby. How long of a chain would you recommend? I've read that blankets should have a border to hold the blankets shape. Would this require one? Thank you!
Thanks! I use to know this stitch long ago.... Just started making a scarf by watching your video. My daughter and I made one over thanksgiving weekend. Your videos are great! I always search your videos first.
Teresa, I love that you have a blog and keep all your written out patterns (instructions) on the blog. But I hate there is not a print button, or a print friendly available. I have had to copy & paste into Microsoft word, I hate it. PLEASE can you tell me or install a print button?
@CAPSandNOOSES I do have a print button. It was at the bottom of the blog postings so I have moved it to the top. It is between the Facebook Icon and the +share
so pretty much, 5 double crochet where there is a single crochet, skip two and single crochet (should be a double crochet), skip two and 5 double crochet? right? :)
I will happily send a picture. :) It doesn't look as good as the one you did here, but I just started trying to do this a week ago. :) I'm almost finished with my first skein of yarn for this scarf. Do you have a video that shows how to start a new skein in the middle of your work? Thanks.
I love your crocheting videos, I'm so hooked with what your doing I don't want to watch any other person. Your great at this Teresa, I wanted to learn how to do the Prairie Diamond but can you do a video on that.
Question: When one does the shell stitch, are the double crochets all in the same chain? I am have lots of trouble with it. So, one does a normal double crochet, then does 4 more in the same chain, b/c in this video it looks like she is doing the double crochet in different spots every time. I really want to make this scarf. Please I need help!!!! Also, are you putting two strands of yarn on your hook when you are doing the double crochet? like one normally would do for a double crochet? Thanks!
@tjw1963 Okay but when you yarn over and insert your hook are you putting the hook through the chain so that 1 string of the chain is on the top or two. Like, when you would do a half double crochet where only one strand is on the top or a normal double crochet where you insert it through the chain in the spot where two strands are on the top and one on the bottom? How do you get it so that there isn't just a hole for the bottom of your shell? If that makes any sense...
I started this with a skein of yarn that was given to me. I ran out and can't find another skein. Any suggestions on where I might find another skein. I used Wituck4 100% Monsanto Worsted Weight Acrylic winter white.
I started this but ran out of yarn. It was very difficult for me to get it right but finally did. Do you have any suggestions how to find more yarn? Unfortunately I used a skein that was given to me. I really want to finish this for my sister
I love ur videos they help me so much! I am getting pretty good at crocheting... my only problem is say I want to make a baby blanket how do I know how many chains across I need like I usually do about 55-65 depending on what size crochet hook I use. but I dont know how many to count out for this?! please help me i have a baby shower in 3 weeks and usually it only takes me about 3-5 days to make a baby blanket!
Oh wow, I cannot tell you enough just how much I LOVE your videos! I have learned so much from watching them, and I am fully confident that with lots of practice I will one day be as good as you. How nice that you take the time to teach us these cool techinques!
Thank you for sharing your gift/talent, and as always, Happy Crocheting!
I'm having trouble with when you chain 3 for double crochet and you finish out that row and come back where do I put my needle? in the top of the chain 3 .... also do you have videos on things like that what chain do I put my needle in it's kinda hard to see how you do that some times but I just LOVE watching your videos THANK YOU SO MUCH
Teresa could you explain what this means , I am working on a bed jacket pattern and it tells me to put a tr crochet in the 4th of 7ch...I am lost with this..like this roll says to (1gr, 1ch, 1tr, 1ch) twice, 1gr, 1ch, 1tr in 4th of 7ch.... I would appreciate any help you can offer.
@MsRedab The first part means that you will work a triple crochet in the 4 chain in your chain of 7. I am wonder if the 1gr is a typo. The other sequence of stitches would be 1 triple crochet, chain 1, 1 triple crochet , working twice. (1gr, 1ch, 1tr, 1ch) twice
You can also write to the author of the pattern if gr is an abbreviation they have come up with specific to the pattern.

Guru Teresa lol, I'm making a headband with this stitch (I think lol), how many chains would I start with? Is that what people say are "multiples"? How many chains or how many stitches one makes in a certain pattern? I'm not sure, at any rate, how many chains would I make to make a fab headband? Thanks a bunch for your help.
@azianoel00 The multiple is 6. The amount of chains you need will depend on what direction you want use to make the head band. Do you want to make a chain and join or work the length, then sew the edges together.
@tjw1963 I think I've been working the length and sewing together but it doesn't have that finished look I'm longing for, so making a chain and joining might be something new and different how would I do it working a chain?
Hi Teresa i was woundering if you could help me , i'm trying to learn the spider stitch but it just doesn't look right is there any chance you could help me with this please .
pattern instruction
1dc, 1ch, 1dc miss 1 ch 1dc, 1ch, 1dc into the next ch rep to the end of the row turn ch2
row 1 , this is where I'm lost because I don't know what ch sp to go into.
@aleinalex They are computer generated tag suggestions based on other tags I have used. Not only that, I have a couple pumpkin crochet projects which creates a relationship.
@cdw518 This video was recorded with a Sony HRD-SR11. While my camera has been discontinued, Sony does have Handycams on the market with the similar features or better than what I am using. I am transitioning over to a Sony NEX-VG10 for the new tutorials.
Teresa I just want to say that even tho sometimes that you go rather fast you do a WONDERFUL job of explaining what u are doing and why. The only question I have is.... ok well I have a couple.... 1) is there supposed to be on chain left on the foundation chain when yoy start? and 2) so the second row is 2dc at the beginning and 3dc at the end right? Can u explain why we are doing it that way?
@suz8879 1) You can try to get the chain exact but most times you may have extra chain. On completion, sew it in between the stitches. If it is really long, you can cut the chain at the farthest point from the first worked stitches, unravel the chain then sew it in.
2) When you start the next row, you are working a half shell, giving you a straight edge. If you worked a full shell, you would have a rounded, uneven edge.
Hi Teresa, I just finished my second afghan. I learned how to make granny squares by crocheting along with you. I did one with 64 squares which I sewed together, and one which I made by just going around and around , They are both beautiful! Now I'm going to make a baby blanket using this pattern.
Thanks Teresa for your quick response and wonderful videos. I was watching the video on my iPhone and there's no side note so I'll hop onto my desktop to take a look at :09. Thanks again!
@whitekitty02 See annotation link at 00:9 seconds for tutorial on straightening the edge. A alternative is to use the shell on both ends so they match.
Maybe someone already asked this but... when you finished the first row, you chained 3. How many do you chain after you finish the 2nd, 3rd, etc rows?
@jsimon171 There is a link to the written instructions posted in the video details below the video. You will find written and symbol instructions that answer your question.
can u help me learn to read a pattern? i cna crochet and i watch your videos but i would really like to make them by the pattern and it all looks like chinese to me. i would be so grateful!!
How many skeins does it take to complete this scarf? Do you make a practice of balling your skeins? I am somewhat new to crochet and I have to say that your videos are the best teachers. I have really tried to read the written instructions and cannot make heads nor tails of them.
Thanks for the great tutorial!!! It's a beautiful scarf, and your pattern and clear instructions made me pick up a crochet needle for the first time in years. I am almost through with my scarf but was wondering whether it's possible for it to have a straight (vs. wavy) end, so that both ends match? How can I accomplish that?
I've been crocheting off and on for a few years, but nothing more than single and afghan stiches, and this was so easy for me to pick up, I love the design and its simple and elegant. thank you for posting!
I am determined to make this scarf, but don't see how to do the ends and beginnings of each row. MIne starts OK then turns into a triangle, thinner and thinner. What am I doing wrong?
@newfartwoman It sounds like you may be missing stitches. I do have the symbol instruction diagram posted on my crochet blog. This will help you see exactly where the stitches should go and how many there are. The link is in the video details below the video.
@tjw1963 Hi Teresa. I made a beautiful scarf as followed your instructions. However, my scarf is seems to be hard , not soft. I bought red heart 4ply. What can I do to make it softy?
@lovercrochet Hi--I;m not Teresa, but maybe this will help...
Sometimes if the yarn is not really soft, gently handwashing the item you have crocheted in lukewarm water with a little fabric softener with help. Do not pull or "twist" the item to rinse it--just gently squeeze the water out of it. Then you can lay it flat to dry, gently smoothing it out so it will dry flat in the shape you want (again, don't "pull" on it--you can pull it out of shape while it is still wet). Maybe this will help!
@tjw1963 Well, i'm making a scarf now, I've got some gorgeous thread from Wal-Mart, it changes from a cherry red to bergendy (Dark red. Me=can't spell), and all these different shades. My dad picked it out himself after I told him I was going to make him a scarf and I wasn't sure what shade to do it in. :) I think the best part about this video is the fact that a 12 year old like me that's just a beginner can do something this hard because of your GREAT instruction!
Im now practicing the shell stitch. thank you so much. I loved the puff stitch so much that I didnt want to stop! lol. Now Im working on this one and its just so great to see all this beautiful yarn getting used and becoming such beautiful things. I cant believe I just learned this and Im making gifts for family and friends now. Thank You so much. I really do appreciate the time you invest. Its really helping me to relax also. Your the Best. Peace & Blessings.
Thank You Teresa, Ive been working on the puff stitch and made a few hats and scarves, Im not practicing my shell stitch you just taught me. thank you so much. there coming out so beautiful. It looks like Ive been crocheting for years. Your a great teacher. thank you again. Great Video!
I decided to start crocheting again and I have forgotten some of the terms and abbreviations. I have started a hat (something I have never attempted) and do not know exactly what they want. The directions say: Ch3, PST in joining, ch 1 [PST, dc in sp, dc in PST, 2 dc in sp] 7 times, dc in PST, dc in sp, dc in PST, 2 dc in top of ch-3; turn -42 sts. I understand Ch- chain PST? I have no idea maybe pattern stitch? Dc- double crochet Sp- space Ch-3? Decrease 3 Thank you, Vicki

@muziklvr316 PST means "post stitch" around the next double crochet. You crochet around the stitch instead of into it. If you search YouTube for "Crochet Block and Post Stitches" it will bring up a PBS instructional video from CrochetToday.
Thank you so much for posting these tutorials! I made a few shell scarves for cousins in Mexico while I was there this past December and one for a cousin in Texas. I also just finished a set of shell hat and scarf for a friend in a very nice sapphire blue. These are easy and they look elegant.
As with many others, I learned to crochet a little as a child and I now want to pick it back up. I can do a chain, sc, and dc pretty well and just finished a blanket. I'm now trying to make a shell scarf for my grandson who is 3. I chained 16 (for a smaller neck size) and followed the instructions for the first row, but at the end, it said to skip 2 chains and single crochet, but I had no chains left - only the three scallops. This was right before it said to single crochet, chain 3 & turn.
As with many others, I learned to crochet a little as a child and I now want to pick it back up. I can do a chain, sc, and dc pretty well and just finished a blanket. I'm now trying to make a scalloped scarf for my grandson who is 3. I chained 16 (for a smaller neck size) and followed the instructions for the first row, but at the end, it said to skip 2 chains and single crochet, but I had no chains left - only the three scallops. This was right before it said to single crochet, chain 3 & turn.
I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right but the first row always comes out curving. It is supposed to be 5 dc in the one chain. Is it just my tension maybe? I've tried adjusting my tension but everytime the row comes odd and stretched looking! Help!
Your crochet videos have helped me learn a new hobby, thank you! :D
I've practiced this, but I think I crochet too tightly, since my shells come out small and the spaces in my chain look huge in comparison... It just looks awkward...
Hi, thank you for your time in those tutorial videos for us, iam a begginner. I love your video. Please, explain me if is better to do double crochet passing the hook in one loop or two loop from the chain below. Excuse my english. Thanks from Puerto Rico.
@dancehappy202 never mind! i figured it out. i just did a starting chain of 21 and my pattern is 3 shells 2 shells 3 shells 2 shells. it's the perfect width for her neck now. BTW... everytime i want to learn a stitch i watch YOUR videos. they are so easy to learn when i can see and hear it very clearly. thankyou so much for taking the time to teach so many people!
Teresa, Thank you sooooo much for your videos. I wanted to learn how to crochet but was being taught by right handers. I didnt catch on until I saw your videos. Thank you! Thanks for doing different things like hats and such.
Teresa: thank you so much!!!! your videos are very clear and wonderfull. I'm starting in the crochet and I'm practing every day, I don't speak english but I can understand you very well, thank you again and you are the number one , best wishes from Chile.
Thanks Teresa for all your wonderful and clear tutorials. It´s so easy to follow your instructions. I van´t get enough of your videos. Many greetings from Italy
Your videos are great! I have trouble seeing if you go under one loop or two loops, the front and back loops. Will it make any difference if you do either one? Which one did you do in this video or do you have another preference?
@dskhdjk I always go below the two loops at the top of the stitch. It would not hurt anything if you did go through the front or back only. I go through both because I find that is most secure where, one loop may pull up and create a hole.
Thank you soo much for your videos! im an intermediate crochet-er and i still have a hard time following a pattern... seeing someone else do it really helps!
Thank you, it was so easy for me to follow your instructions. I was taught to crochet as a little girl and had not picked it up again until now that I'm 48. lol Thank you again for bringing the joy back of crocheting and desire to create more crochet items.
Could I maybe do 13 CH instead of 26 at the beginning to make the scarf a thinner width?

@LetiLaFlaca Yes, you can work a smaller chain for a thinner scarf

The more you practice, the more it will make sense. If you are new to crochet, you will want to learn the basic stitches first.

Hi Teresa i was woundering if you could help me , i'm trying to learn the spider stitch but it just doesn't look right is there any chance you could help me with this please .
pattern instruction
1dc, 1ch, 1dc miss 1 ch 1dc, 1ch, 1dc into the next ch rep to the end of the row turn ch2
row 1 , this is where I'm lost because I don't know what ch sp to go into.
leanne3021 11 months ago
@leanne3021 If this is your foundation row, you will work 1DC, CH1, 1DC in the same chain, then skip a chain and work the next 1DC, CH1, 1DC

HI Teresa,
do you have a tutorial for a crochet infinity scarf?? Tks much!
Minismurf04 1 year ago
Teresa I just want to say that even tho sometimes that you go rather fast you do a WONDERFUL job of explaining what u are doing and why. The only question I have is.... ok well I have a couple.... 1) is there supposed to be on chain left on the foundation chain when yoy start? and 2) so the second row is 2dc at the beginning and 3dc at the end right? Can u explain why we are doing it that way?
suz8879 1 year ago 2
@suz8879 1) You can try to get the chain exact but most times you may have extra chain. On completion, sew it in between the stitches. If it is really long, you can cut the chain at the farthest point from the first worked stitches, unravel the chain then sew it in.
2) When you start the next row, you are working a half shell, giving you a straight edge. If you worked a full shell, you would have a rounded, uneven edge.
tjw1963 1 year ago
@tjw1963 I understand that a full shell on the sides would make the scarf uneven but why is one side 2dc and the other is 3?
suz8879 1 year ago
@suz8879 There are 3 on both sides. The beginning chain 3 counts as the first double crochet.
tjw1963 1 year ago
Hi Teresa, I just finished my second afghan. I learned how to make granny squares by crocheting along with you. I did one with 64 squares which I sewed together, and one which I made by just going around and around , They are both beautiful! Now I'm going to make a baby blanket using this pattern.
Thanks so much!

@MSKAYSCOTT Yes, the 5 double crochet are all worked in the same chain. I like to work below 2 chains to reduce the possibility of holes.

Whitekitty02, that is my question too. To me that might look a bit odd to have one straight edge and one shell edge.

@MsVintageCat If you watch to 00:9 seconds in to the video, there is an annotation link to a video on straightening the edge.
tjw1963 1 year ago
how can you level the scarf on both ends. one end has shells ans the other end is straight out. how do you level the scarf out?
whitekitty02 1 year ago
@whitekitty02 See annotation link at 00:9 seconds for tutorial on straightening the edge. A alternative is to use the shell on both ends so they match.
tjw1963 1 year ago
Maybe someone already asked this but... when you finished the first row, you chained 3. How many do you chain after you finish the 2nd, 3rd, etc rows?

How many skeins does it take to complete this scarf? Do you make a practice of balling your skeins? I am somewhat new to crochet and I have to say that your videos are the best teachers. I have really tried to read the written instructions and cannot make heads nor tails of them.
TheMrsHaynie 1 year ago
Thanks for the great tutorial!!! It's a beautiful scarf, and your pattern and clear instructions made me pick up a crochet needle for the first time in years. I am almost through with my scarf but was wondering whether it's possible for it to have a straight (vs. wavy) end, so that both ends match? How can I accomplish that?

@tjw1963 Hi Teresa. I made a beautiful scarf as followed your instructions. However, my scarf is seems to be hard , not soft. I bought red heart 4ply. What can I do to make it softy?
lovercrochet 1 year ago
@lovercrochet Hi--I;m not Teresa, but maybe this will help...
Sometimes if the yarn is not really soft, gently handwashing the item you have crocheted in lukewarm water with a little fabric softener with help. Do not pull or "twist" the item to rinse it--just gently squeeze the water out of it. Then you can lay it flat to dry, gently smoothing it out so it will dry flat in the shape you want (again, don't "pull" on it--you can pull it out of shape while it is still wet). Maybe this will help!
gimmedatstick 1 year ago
@lovercrochet I have found that you can wash the piece with fabric softener or your can use a dryer sheet. It softens the yarn right up.

@tjw1963 Well, i'm making a scarf now, I've got some gorgeous thread from Wal-Mart, it changes from a cherry red to bergendy (Dark red. Me=can't spell), and all these different shades. My dad picked it out himself after I told him I was going to make him a scarf and I wasn't sure what shade to do it in. :) I think the best part about this video is the fact that a 12 year old like me that's just a beginner can do something this hard because of your GREAT instruction!

@muziklvr316 PST means "post stitch" around the next double crochet. You crochet around the stitch instead of into it. If you search YouTube for "Crochet Block and Post Stitches" it will bring up a PBS instructional video from CrochetToday.

As with many others, I learned to crochet a little as a child and I now want to pick it back up. I can do a chain, sc, and dc pretty well and just finished a blanket. I'm now trying to make a shell scarf for my grandson who is 3. I chained 16 (for a smaller neck size) and followed the instructions for the first row, but at the end, it said to skip 2 chains and single crochet, but I had no chains left - only the three scallops. This was right before it said to single crochet, chain 3 & turn.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right but the first row always comes out curving. It is supposed to be 5 dc in the one chain. Is it just my tension maybe? I've tried adjusting my tension but everytime the row comes odd and stretched looking! Help!
Your crochet videos have helped me learn a new hobby, thank you! :D

I've practiced this, but I think I crochet too tightly, since my shells come out small and the spaces in my chain look huge in comparison... It just looks awkward...
More practice, I suppose...

Your videos are great! I have trouble seeing if you go under one loop or two loops, the front and back loops. Will it make any difference if you do either one? Which one did you do in this video or do you have another preference?
dskhdjk 1 year ago
@dskhdjk I always go below the two loops at the top of the stitch. It would not hurt anything if you did go through the front or back only. I go through both because I find that is most secure where, one loop may pull up and create a hole.
