Dense
Mermaid shell stitch
This beautiful stitch forms shell motifs from elongated stitches, which makes the dense fabric softer and more flexible than in the classic shell stitch. Different yarns and hook sizes change the look of the fabric, so experiment to find what works for you.

In pastel or vibrant colors, the stitch has a cheerful, playful look that fits children's projects. It also works for cozy blankets, garments, accessories, and home decor items. Suitable for crocheters of all skill levels.
