Special Stitches

Shell Stitch

A shell is simply a group of stitches which are placed in a single stitch or space. They are usually double crochet, but could be another stitch. For example, 3dc might equal 1 shell. In another pattern, 5 dc might equal 1 shell.

Extended Single Crochet (ESC)

I have just started seeing this stitch recently. I don't know when it began to be popular and it may have been around for a long time and I just didn't happen to run into it. Whatever the case, here is how you make it.

Insert hook into stitch or space where you want to put your Ex sc. Yo and pull through. yo, pull through one loop, yo, pull through two loops

The buttons above were my first at the Cabana. I keep them for sentimental reasons. :-)
