Crochet Diagonal Shells Stitch Pattern

Happy Friday! I feel like anyone working Monday-Friday 9-5's just wait...... f-o-r-e-v-e-r for Friday.

I get excited about the weekends because I get more time with my projects and time to design new patterns. The weather is much nicer and the sun sets much later so I look forward to playing at the park or riding bikes with my boys.

I have so many projects and designs in mind but sooooo little time. For now, I've been working up swatches and creating videos. When I posted this swatch & asked if folks would like to see a video, I received so many positive feedback so here it is!

Here is a list of what I used in my video tutorial. The yarn I originally used (Photo above) is Lion Brand's Heartland in the color Grand Canyon.

YARN: Lion Brand Scarfie

HOOK: Tulip US K/6.5mm

ABBREVIATIONS

ch – Chain

st(s) – Stitch(es)

sl st – Slip Stitch
