Coastal Breeze Stitch | How to Crochet

Enjoy learning to crochet the Coastal Breeze crochet stitch pattern and add it to a variety of designs and looks!

I love the small, dainty texture of this crochet stitch. The texture looks like little sea shell and they especially stand out when the pattern is worked in multiple colours. I have chosen to work it in two colours, but you may also work this pattern in more than two, or even in a single colour.

The pattern itself is a simple two-row repeat however, down below, I have written it as a four-row repeat in order to include the colour changes for you should you choose to use them.

The combination of crochet stitches is also a simple one including only single crochet stitches and chain stitches. As a whole it’s a bit of a moss stitch meets baby shell stitch pattern.

The Materials:

For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in two colours labelled A and B. You will alternate between these colours throughout the project. In the video tutorial below I will carry my yarn up the side so that I do not have to fasten off after each colour change. But depending on your project, you may have to fasten off and weave in the ends if there is no other way to hide them such as under an edging.

Along with my worsted weight yarn, I will also be working with a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

Pattern Notes:

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in two colours labelled A and B.

This pattern is written in American crochet terms.

To begin, with colour A, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain.

For example, with colour A, ch 30.

Row One:

Sc in 2nd ch from your hook and each across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Two:

Sc in 1st st, *ch 1, sk the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Three:

*Working over the ch-1 sp work 3 sc in the next skipped st 2 rows below, sk the next sc in the previous row; Rpt from * across switching to colour B in the final st. Ch 1, turn.

Row Four:

With colour B, sc in the 1st st, ch 1, sk the next st, sc in the next st, *ch 1, sk the next 2 sts, sc in the next st; Rpt from * all the way across. Ch 1, turn.

Row Five:

*working over the ch-1 sp, work 3 sc into the middle sc 2 rows below, sk the next st; Rpt from * across switching to colour A in the final st. Ch 1, turn.

Repeat rows 4 and 5 in colour A, pick up colour B.

And that’s it!

For the pattern you will simply repeat rows four and five alternating between your colours every second row.
