Can anyone tell me what stitch(es) this is?

I think it looks like 3-4 dc and then skip for one row, then v-stitch next row? I really like it, but can't find a pattern.

Thanks for any help!!

it's a shell of 4 dc.  on the next row, you place the shell between the 1st and 2d dc; there may be a ch1 there.

like this http://goodknits.com/blog/2011/10/18/crochet-offset-shell-stitch/ but with 3 dc, not 2, then the 1 dc.  the more i look at your photo, i don't think there is a chain in the shell either.

I will give it a try...thanks so much for your help. I still think out of a 3 row pattern, the top and bottom row is, like u said, a shell pattern and a chain 1 or 2 but the middle row is maybe a chain 4, sc in next stitch, then chain 4. The chain space is what you crochet the next row of shells in maybe? I'm gonna play with it today...it's a scarf so continuous frogging ain't gonna be so painful to get it right.

I agree with magiccrochet fan as it looks like the pattern to me. It just has the one row repeated for the skarf. someplaces it looks like a ch 1 between the 3dc and the 1 dc. You could try it with and without a ch between and use which you like best.

I think I have it...

Here's what I did...(hope I wrote it correctly)

I used RHSS and H hook

 

Ch36

Row 1 sc in ea ch stitch across (36), turn

 

Row 2 *chain 3, skip 3 st, sc in next st* rep * to last 4 st, ch 3, sc in last st, turn

 

Row 3 chain 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in ch 3 sp, 3 dc (cluster) in ea ch 3 sp across to last ch 3 sp, 2 dc in last ch 3 sp, dc in last stitch (completes 3 dc cluster), turn

 

Row 4 *ch 3, sc in sp between cluster, ch 3*, rep * to last cluster sp, ch 3, sc in top of last dc, turn.

To continue, just repeat row 3 and 4

 

I also like the sc edge before pattern starts. I plan to fringe each end so I would do it in the "holes" above the sc row.

 

I think when a color change is done, do it on the cluster row, and it will define the "V" the chain 3 gives once the cluster row is added.

 

I experimented with the other rows...first set is ch 6, skip 2, next set is ch 4, skip 2

Both of these sets caused it to be won't.

 

What do you think?

[magiccrochetfan]

there's a typo in the 2d to last sentence---"caused it to be won't"--  Or i guess i should say an autocorrect mistake.  Anyway, i wondered what you actually meant to say there?  

[sarisue]

Thats vey nice and it will make a nice scarf but I wonder if you gave the picture you are following as what I get is different. 

Yours will make a nice scarf though. Do you mean that the first few  rows are what you want and the ones with the bigger chains aren't quite right?

[LadiBug329]

Yes autocorrect....wonky

Yes first rows are very close, but maybe my hook is smaller and yarn weight is bigger. The later rows created holes too big.

I think it will make a nice scarf also...thinking of doing color changes every 5 or 6 rows of dc clusters.

This will also be an in-between project, working on an Afghan and get bored doing such a big project. No short term gratification I guess.
