Shell Stitch Beanie Video Tutorial

I have the best fans. Greatest. When I mentioned needing a video to help explain my shell stitch beanie pattern Laura Muzinic from Midnight Stitches volunteered to help me out. How could I refuse??

Laura has so graciously recorded herself making my shell stitch beanie and explaining my pattern fabulously! Hopefully, this video helps clear up some confusion that some are having with the pattern. Please check out the video below if you are running into some problems.



Oh, and please head to Laura's Facebook page and give her some love and check out her Etsy shop! She wins fan of the year in my book!

Pin It!

    Thanks for being so talented and kind in sharing this pattern and tutorial.

  8. Hi, why is it when I did a sample of this pattern, and also the person doing the video, the results were different than yours? Your shell division (at the chain 1) makes a definite crease-like division when looking at the completed beanie picture. What did "you" do differently than the person on the video, and me? Is it due to the hat being on a child's head stretching the sts more, producing the different look, or a different size hook? I wanted this adorable pattern JUST for the interesting effect of the shell division, which does not happen on the video & when "I" stitch it up. (And it's a very simple pattern, not complicated, & I've crocheted since I was 7 yrs old, 59 years ago.) Please advise! It's a very cute pattern, and I have a new grand daughter coming in August! Thanks, stumped and sleepless in Seattle!
