Hello Week #4 of Crochet Vintage
HOW did you go with crocheting last week's SUMMER Arches stitch pattern? Did you enjoy yourself and have some fun with Week #3 ? I sure do hope you had fun changing colours and playing with the stitch pattern, it is a fun and easy stitch which could easily be used anywhere a lacy open pattern is needed.
This week #4, I have another super easy crochet stitch pattern for you from my vintage 1970's stitch patterns collection. I must admit I enjoy this week's stitch ALTERNATING Shells even more than last week's Summer Arches and I hope you do too.
This ALTERNATING SHELLS crochet stitch pattern is really very simple, and of course once again you can change colour in every row if you wish.
