The Slanted Puff Shell stitch crochet pattern features an eye catching texture that would look stunning in larger projects where the texture is on full display!
The Slanted Puff Shell stitch features all the texture to the front side and is worked as a two row repeat. For the first row you will work a combination of puff stitches alongside a double crochet stitch shell. Then, for the return row, you will work a row of front post double crochet.
The result is absolutely beautiful with textured shell stitches that look as though they are set back into the fabric.
The finished item is quite thick, but is not too stiff. You could use the stitch in a variety of projects including blankets and cardigans. You may also wish to experiment with colour and the yarn weight.
The Materials:
For this tutorial today, I will be using a small amount of Heatherly by KnitPicks and WeCrochet in a single colour. It is a medium/worsted weight yarn that is a wool blend. 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 a single colour.
This pattern is written in American crochet terms.
The turning ch-1 does not count as a stitch.
To begin, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch pattern, you will need a foundation chain with a multiple of 5 stitches, plus 2.
For example, ch 32.
Row One:
Sc in the 2nd ch from your hook and in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two:
[Sc, ch 2, 3 dc, puff] in the 1st st, *sk the next 4 sts, [Sc, ch 2, 3 dc, puff] in the next st; rpt from * across until 5 sts remain, sk the next 4 sts, sc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
Row Three:
Sc in the 1st st, *fpdc in each of the next 4 sts**, dc in the next ch-2 sp, sk the next sc st; Rpt from * across ending repeat at **, complete the row with a sc in the final ch-2 sp. Ch 1, turn.
And that’s it!
For the rest of the pattern, simply repeat rows two and three. Fasten off, weave in your ends.
