How to Crochet the Stacked Shell Stitch

I hope your summer has been going well! I am excited to share a new crochet stitch pattern with you. Today we are going to learn how to crochet the Stacked Shell Stitch!

Don’t worry, this stitch isn’t hard to make! You basically just need to know how to make double crochets and chains.

If you haven’t joined my Desert Blossom Stitch Along yet, it’s not too late! I’m releasing 4 stitch patterns per month, but you can jump in at any time! Be sure to join the Stitch Along community in my Facebook group HERE. Or follow me on Instagram to see new stitches there.

You will also want to view the master list of stitches that have been released so far. There are a lot of cool ones you will want to check out, trust me!

Last thing before we get started on this stitch: I created a bundle of 4 stitch patterns on Etsy which can be found here. Included is the Stacked Shell Stitch, plus 3 OTHER stitch patterns (all of the ones that will be released in July!) The stitches are written out for easy printing. Find this bundle HERE!
