How to Crochet the Stacked Shell Stitch Photo Tutorial
I love the Stacked Shell Stitch because the shells are bigger than normal, creating a nice focal point. They’re also stacked on top of each other (thus the name) instead of alternating like the Classic 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.
Learn how to crochet the Stacked Shell Stitch with this photo tutorial.

- Red Heart Super Saver Yarn
- J/10 Crochet Hook
