Have you seen this stitch?

[kazily]

I just stumbled on it at Crochet Memories.

(Scroll until you see the Circle Shell Stitch) about 6 stitches down the page)

http://www.crochetmemories.com/crochet4.php

 

It looks like a wheel incorporated into rows (by doing each shell row twice)

 

I just tried a small attempt but I'm not sure how to use it. The bottom half of my wheels are "flap like".

 

Just wondering if anyone has tried this one in a project? It is very creative!

That is very cool! I haven't tried that but you can bet your sweet bippy I will find a way to hehe.

 

Thank you very much for sharing. Added the page to my favorites!

Edited because I misread the instructions. Never mind.

Crocheting with the work upside down is different!

[alibra]

No, can't say I have ever seen it, although it is very pretty...hmm, may have to give it a go!

That's cool! It might make a neat edging on an afghan.

I've not TRIED doing it before, but have seen it used, sort of. I inherited a stash that had a partial afghan in it and im figuiring that's the stitch. was 2 colors w/ 1 row (1/2 the wheel) in like a dark green and the next row (other half of wheel) in a light green. Was a nice effect.

When I was probably 6 or 7 years old, our next-door neighbor made afghans for all of us three girls using this stitch. They were beautiful & I really wish I knew what happened to them.

In Sweden we're not used to naming stitches like you do in the US. But the site was awesome, thanks.

I'm glad that I posted the site for those of you who had not seen it before. I thought the stitch was quite creative & I have never seen it before. Hopefully I can use it sometime in a small project & see how it looks. I only made a little swatch of it with 2 wheels to see how it "worked" up.

I saw a stitch similar to this one in a magazine recently (although I can't remember which one). It was crocheted in between rows of green yarn to represent a row of flowers, it was so pretty, the whole afghan alternated with rows of flowers. Oh I wish I could remember where I saw it!!!!!!

I've used it before...on a scarf that I gave away long before I ever had a digital camera, so I have no pictures of it. It's in my stitch encyclopedia that I have wandering around somewhere. I'd have to dig out my encyclopedia to remember exactly how to do the stitch (or look at that site)

Is that like a Catherine Wheel stitch? I was reading about that stitch somewhere last night and it looks a lot like it to me.

[eyrthmother1]

i was over at cpc, and found a link to a pattern at Lion's Brand that uses this stitch in an afghan. This is along the lines of what I was trying to explain about using it in different colored rows. (I was wrong w/ it just being 1 row a color, its 2 for the wheel affect. )

 

Here's the link <<http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/colorfulwheels.html >>
