Here’s a really nice and easy shell stitch pattern. It’s good for blankets, scarves, shawls, handbags and more. I find this one is easy to remember. Row 2 is repeated throughout the pattern. So once you learn that one (and it’s just double crochet stitches and single crochets) – the stitch pattern works up very quickly.
Here’s a fun way to crochet a chromatic phone case for your cell. Start with two solid granny squares, turn them, and sew them together. Makes a nice gift!
