Openwork
Arched open stitch
Rows of shells and decrease stitches form an airy openwork fabric with small eyelets. The look of the stitch changes a lot with the choice of colors and their placement. The gallery shows two versions: in the light one the pattern looks like waves, and in the dark one it is made up of small star motifs.

It works for cozy garments for children and adults, accessories, blankets, and other projects. Suitable for advanced beginners to intermediate crocheters.
