For this tutorial you will need your selected yarn and a crochet hook i've chosen to use yarn
and colours super must have in the shade pastel pink and i'm using a five millimetre crochet hook
a pair of scissors and a darning needle will also come in handy for sewing in your ends as always
i'll leave loads of details in the description box so make sure that you go and check that out
okay let's get started okay so we're going to start by making a slip knot and you can do that in
whichever method you prefer go ahead and insert your crochet hook and we're going to make a
foundation chain in a multiple of six so we're going to yarn over and pull through that's one
yarn over pull through that's two three four five and six so you will keep working that multiple of
six one two three four five and six that's twelve chains until you get to the width of the project
that you like i'm going to do four multiples so i'm going to have 24 stitches in total pause the
video work your chain and then meet me back once you're ready okay so now i have my chain of 24
i'm going to add two so one two and that is for turning so for this pattern it's a multiple of six
plus two for turning so i have 24 25 26 chains for my sample piece for row one
we're going to work in the second chain from the hook so not the one that's on the hook
we have one and then this is the second one here we're going to be working a double crochet which
is a UK term in the US this is known as a single crochet so we'll go into that stitch yarn over and
pull through you'll have two loops on your hook yarn over pull through both loops on your hook
that is a double crochet we'll then double crochet into the next stitch
and then we're going to chain three one two three skip three chains one two three
and then we'll start a pattern repeat so this pattern repeat is going to be
three double crochets so we'll go into that stitch work a double crochet one two and three
chain three one two three and then skip three stitches one two three and then repeat that again
three double crochets one two
and three chain three one two three skip three one two three and then start again so you'll
do that all the way across until you have two stitches remaining so you can pause the video
and work your way to that point and then meet me back once you're ready so i'm here at the
end of my row i have done my final chain three and when i take into consideration that we've
missed those three stitches you will have those two stitches remaining so in those
last two stitches we're going to do a double crochet in each stitch so there's one and two
so that is the end of row one we'll now move on to row two which is actually the start of the
pattern repeat so for this pattern we will do a pattern repeat of rows two to five
so this is the point you'll rewind to if you need those instructions again
so for row two we're going to turn our work first of all and chain one
that chain one does not count as a stitch and then we're going to miss the first two stitches
so one and two we're then going to work seven treble crochets into this chain three space
so again remember i'm working in UK terms in the US this is known as a double crochet so it's yarn
over insert into that chain three space yarn over pull through you'll have three loops on the hook
yarn over pull through two loops you'll have two loops on the hook
and yarn over pull through those last two loops and then just pull that over slightly just so
that you can fit the rest of your treble crochets in that space so that's one two three four five
six and seven so there we have our seven stitches in that space we now have another pattern repeat
so for this we're going to skip the next stitch work a double crochet into the next and then
skip the next so if we have a look at where these three double crochets are we'll skip one
double crochet into one and skip one so this is the pattern repeat skip a stitch double crochet
and skip a stitch we'll then do seven treble crochets into that chain three space one two
three four five six and seven
start the pattern repeat again skip a stitch
double crochet skip a stitch and then seven trebles you'll repeat that all the way across
until you've done your last seven trebles into the final chain space and you'll be left with
two stitches remaining so work your way across and then meet me back once you're ready okay so
i've worked my way across i now have those last two stitches remaining we're going to
skip the next stitch and then double crochet into that final stitch to finish that row
we'll turn our work and then for row three we're going to start off with a chain four
to count as a chain space so now we're going to skip three stitches so at the base of this
chain one two and three and we're going to do three double crochets into these stitches
and then we're going to do one double crochet into the next three stitches
so skipping those three stitches one two three and then work a double crochet
one two and three and then we have a pattern repeat so the pattern repeat is going to be chain
three one two three skip five stitches one two three four five so don't forget
about that one just here one two three four five and then three double crochets one two
and three and that pattern repeat starts again chain three one two three skip five stitches
one two three four five and then double crochet into the next three stitches two and three
you're going to repeat that until you have two stitches remaining so you'll
finish your last three double crochets on this last shell and then meet me back once you're ready
okay so once you've worked your way across and you have your last two stitches remaining
we're going to go ahead and chain one and then treble crochet into
that very last stitch so we're skipping a stitch and treble crocheting into that last stitch and
that treble and chain one will count as a chain space we'll turn our work and move on to row four
so for row four we're going to chain three one two three that counts as a treble crochet
and then we're going to work three trebles into this chain space one two and three
and then we're going to skip a stitch double crochet into the next stitch and skip a stitch
and then our pattern repeat we'll start from here so just the same as we did before we're
going to work seven treble crochets into this chain three space so that's two three four five
six and seven skip a stitch double crochet skip a stitch and start that pattern repeat again so
seven double crochets skip a stitch double crochet skip a stitch you will work all the way across
until your final chain space so you'll finish on your skip a stitch double crochet skip a stitch
and then we'll have this space remaining so work your way across and then meet me back once you're
ready okay so at the end of this row we're going to go ahead and work some stitches into this
final row and we're going to do four treble crochets into this chain space one two
three and four so that is the end of row four so we have the two half shells at either end
for row five we're going to turn our work chain one which does not count as a stitch and then
we're going to double crochet into the next two stitches so double crochet and double crochet
we're going to chain three one two three skip five stitches one two three four and five
and then our pattern repeat we'll start from here so we're going to do three double crochets one two
three chain three one two three skip five stitches one two three four and five
and then start the pattern repeat again three double crochets one
two and three chain three one two three skip five stitches one two three
four and five and then start your pattern repeat again so you do this all the way across until you
have two stitches remaining so you'll have skipped those five stitches and you'll have two stitches
at the end so pause the video work your way to the end of your row and meet me back once you're
ready okay so once you've worked your way to the end you've done your chain three we'll skip five
stitches we're then going to do a double crochet into those last two stitches so double crochet
into that stitch just here and then your final stitch will actually be the chain which is acting
as a treble so we'll also work into there and that is the end of that pattern repeat so it's
a four row repeat rows two two three four and five so from here you go back to row two
turn your work chain one skip two stitches and then start working into your chain space
with your seven treble crochets so you can rewind the video back to row two if you need instructions
of the repeat so here we have the pattern which has been repeated twice over i think you can
agree it looks absolutely stunning and if you like this stitch i think you might like this one next
