How to crochet Shell stitch and all shell stitch varieties



The Shell stitch refers to a pattern in which multiple stitches are worked into the same stitch. There is a variety of stitches, or for better say,  a pattern that can be worked in multiple ways.  Can be worked in rows and rounds. Is a stitch with which you can make blankets and edgings among other patterns.

This is an ultimate guide that teaches you the shell stitch varieties and with some patterns will help you practice.

It is important remember  to count the number of the stitches you are  about to work and the spaces that you should skip. 
Remember the multiples on which each stitch consists. In order to help you for each stitch and practice pattern I will annotate the multiples.
