This tutorial shows a repeating crochet motif pattern made with chain arches and shell clusters<\/strong>. The motif can be repeated across rows to create table runners, blouses, shawls, or decorative panels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a very detailed step-by-step written tutorial based on the structure used in Crochet with Nese<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pattern Multiple<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Foundation chain should be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Multiple of 8 + 2 chains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 26 chains<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 34 chains<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 42 chains<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 50 chains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The number of chains determines the width of the project<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Step 1 \u2014 Make the Foundation Chain<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Make a slip knot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Insert hook and pull yarn through to make the first chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Continue making chains until you reach the desired width.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Add 2 additional chains for turning<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Row 1 \u2014 Base Row<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

        This row stabilizes the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Insert hook into the 2nd chain from the hook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Yarn over and pull up a loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Yarn over again and pull through both loops \u2192 1 single crochet made<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Continue making 1 single crochet in each chain across the row<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          At the end of the row you should have a solid row of single crochet stitches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Turn your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Row 2 \u2014 Creating Chain Arches<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

          This row forms the lace foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Chain 4<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Skip 2 stitches<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Make 1 single crochet<\/strong> in the next stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Chain 4<\/strong> again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Skip 2 stitches<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Make 1 single crochet<\/strong> in the next stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Repeat across the row:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            ch4 \u2192 skip 2 stitches \u2192 sc<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            At the end of the row you will see evenly spaced chain loops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Turn your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Row 3 \u2014 Motif Shell Row<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Slip stitch into the first chain-4 loop<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Chain 3<\/strong> (counts as the first double crochet).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. In the same loop crochet:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • 3 more double crochet<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                You now have 4 dc in the same space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                1. Chain 2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Crochet 4 more double crochet in the same loop<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  This creates the motif cluster:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  (4 dc, ch2, 4 dc)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
