The Corded Shells Stitch Crochet Tutorial! (with easy infinity scarf join) 

Dear Fiber Spider: you have brought back my interest in crochet again! I tried to learn knitting when I was 12 from a very nice lady but just never could get it. Then, I got my mom to teach me a very basic single and double crochet when I was about 16, and I loved it. Unfortunately, I never learned much more than that, but was able to use those basic stitches enough to do granny squares and shell stitches to make afghans for nursing homes. I eventually had a family and crochet had to go on the back burner to cooking and cleaning and school projects. I’m now 68 and after quilting awhile, I wanted something I could do more mobile. I looked to RU-vid and there you were, with your help and patience. On a fixed income now, crochet is a little more cost friendly. I’m currently working on this infinity scarf for a long time friend of my mother. She’s 95 and in Iowa; I think this will be perfect for her in Mandala Ombré Harmony. Thank you again! ❤

Another great tutorial for a beautiful stitch pattern. And thank you so much for the joining technique! It's perfect. So much better than trying to slip stitch the two ends together. It's barely noticeable. Very professional looking.

Love this, its stretchy, snuggly and sooo warm...thankyou...

you are my top a1 favorite teacher. i get it right with you and not everyone else

"Give it some breathing room". Fiber Spider is the Bob Ross of the fiber arts! Great project.

Thank you for this quick and easy pattern...it works well with just about any weight yarn...even cotton...with just an adjustment of a hook size...Thanks Again...and it's still soft and stretchy....

I’m doing this now and you’re the best no bestest. More power and more tutorial.

Love this pattern and how soothing your voice is during your instructions. Very calming. I looking forward to try this for a shawl. Thank you again for your instructions. God bless.

Hi Fiber, this is the first fan I have been able to complete successfully. You are truly fantastic at teaching. I can’t thank you enough. Kelly

👍🏻 I love the way you joined the ends together 👍🏻🤩

Quite pretty. Sometimes I think it's the yarn that makes or breaks a project and that smile rainbow made that fabulous.

Thanks so much for taking time to make these videos! I’m crocheting again after 50 years (!) and my grandma taught me stitches when I was 8, but I don’t have a clue how to read patterns. With your instruction I’m not afraid at all to tackle more difficult stitches and make gifts for my family and friends. Thank you SO much for your time and effort. I REALLY appreciate it.

Thank you, for this pattern. The possibilities are endless. I see this pattern as a beautiful prayer shawl.

OMGOODNESS! I am making this scarf to match another one of your videos i did earlier today! It was a cute hat! Thank you for such easy to follow videos!

You are my favourite person with reference to your crochet tutorials. You are responsible for the many Christmas gifts I was able to make.

Hi Craig...thank you so much for this pattern. I have made a rectangle blanket for my sister and several baby blankets. I am going to make a lap blanket for my friends Mom and then a scarf.🥰

I have knitted an infinity scarf using this stitch. Your instructions were so easy to follow. Thank you for this great easy stitch 👍👍

I love your tutorials. I past 1 1/2 years I have made no less than 6 queen sized blankets, from your patterns. I inherited my mother's yarn stash when she died, and I had my own stash of store purchased and home spun. I was drowning in yarn, then I found your channel. You have saved my house from stash overload. Thank you so very much.

That’s just lovely! I’m adding this to my saved videos.

Love your tutorials. You do the easiest stitches / patterns. Everything is so easy & you take your time. Thank you so much

I'm quite happy, too! That join looks perfect to me. Thank you for sharing the stitch and especially the join. This is my first learned tip of the New Year! If it's beginning like this it is definitely better already!😃

Beautiful pattern and brilliant joining technique! Thank you, and all the best in the new year!

Love this. Love how you take the time to show how to do this stich step by step. I just love your tutorials .

Great example of a stitch that's easy to work but not boring to look at. Thanks again Fiber Spider

I love this pattern Craig! Mine turned out beautifully! Thank you!

Thank you for another great tutorial!! Everything I have made from your lessons has been a huge success-bringing lots of happiness all round!

Thanks to you I cannot put my Crochet Hook down! I stumbled across Fiber Spider by looking up something els and was fascinated with his tutorials, thought to myself, well I have never learned to crochet lets give it a try! I never stopped crocheting! made scarfs, 4 Blankets and top! Ever time I watch his tutorials I get new tips like this one. Thanks Craig ! I also love his Audios!! 🥰❤️🧶

Just found your video. I am so happy with the way you described the work. I'll be trying and watching more!

Ohhh this tutorial is FAB!!! I love how you did the seams...it’s a perfect solution to join! Awesome job!

Love this! I've used it for blankets, shawls and scarves. Thank you!

I love this stitch so much I am making a baby blanket set and a pouch for my backpack to store my neck fans in!

Ingenious love your join the scarf is amazing

I was looking for something simple for the new year thank you for sharing 😘

What a beautiful stitch!!

I love this! It looks complicated but it's not at all. Thank you for this great tutorial. 🧶🧶🧶

That finishing of the Infinity scarf was brilliant! I have seldom been 100% happy. With joins of this kind and I can't wait to try your method of joining. Thanks for the tutorials!

This is beautiful!!! I'm working on one of your projects right now...can't wait to start this one!!

Happy New Year. What a great project to start the year with. Thank you

That looks luscious.

The way you finish is genius!

I love this stitch, very pretty

This is amazing, can't wait to make it!! I'm going to use a hobby lobby yarn bee Chloe in the color way pick of the bunch that's been in my stash for over a year now.

I just finished an infinity scarf in this pattern and I love it! Very easy and I love how you joined the two ends together! Very smart! Thank you for sharing!🙂

Awww my favorite crochet teacher, how much I love you and your videos. Your awesome, god bless you...

Thank you I’m making a vest with this stitch your tutorials are so easy to follow 😘

I love to crochet with you on new projects I love that you take your time and explained everything perfect I am a beginner

I love this pattern! Thanks for sharing😄

I love this pattern! I've made it a couple times and I always love the finished product. I especially love the join for the infinity scarf. Amazing!!

Hope you have a nice coming year.

That is a very clever join! I know I can always count on you for new stitches to challenge myself, and even though I’m not very experienced, your tutorials are so clearly presented that I feel confident enough to follow along and achieve success. Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing this looks like a fun pattern I must get started on this one 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Thank you for this video, I have the perfect yarn right in front of me. I've just made a test piece and decided to do every row as front post because I want to make the scarf as a möbius twist. I really like making those scarfs, they are quicker when making gifts and use less yarn. This would also look lovely as a möbius cowl hoodie, similar to your Granny Möbius Hoodie. Like you I'm not a fan of sewing seams together if I can avoid it and that way of joining the two ends is perfect. I just love your videos and they are the perfect antidote for our, yet another, lockdowns and help keep me sane. Thanks Spider, just keep you videos coming. Happy New Year and stay safe. 👍

Love this pattern!! My sister wants an infinity scarf & I think I just found the one I will be making😉😉Thank you Fiber Spider.

Love this. Thank you for the tutorial 😊

Thank you for this stitch pattern! Recently I have made 2 throws, a shawl and several scarves! I made the throws in Premier Puzzle. The stitch pattern really showed off that yarn!

Loving the way you joined the ends. Almost as much as I love this stitch! Making my DIL a scarf, thanks to you!! Thanks so much for sharing your crochet expertise with us via your wonderful tutorials!! 💕😊

Great tutorial, turned out beautiful! TY

Love it. It's beautiful. Be using this stitch.

Beautiful texture and color

Thank you!!!! Love this and so easy to follow! You did it again!! I will be making this tonight- have a surplus of Shawl in a Ball which seems perfect for this stitch. Thank you for sharing your creative efforts 🙏🏻❤️ 🧶

*ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 💝💝💝!* YOUR TALENT & YOUR DESIGNS ARE ALWAYS AMAZING & THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING 😊💝!!!

Thank you so much for this! I have such a perfect yarn for this, but have frogged out 3 previous patterns before finding this one. Not only does it work, but with every row I say to myself "wow, this is so beautiful"..... I am making this as a scarf for my son's new girlfriend. She's going to love it. Thank you again!
