Crochet Offset Shell Columns Pattern & Video Tutorial

Hi! Today's stitch pattern and video tutorial is on the Offset Shell Columns. I designed a cardigan with this stitch and I love it so much!

I used Lion Brand's 24/7 for my cardigan design but used a bulky weight yarn so that you can see it better. I found some chunky yarn to use.
