The Shell Stitch in Crochet 

The Shell Stitch is also called a Fan Stitch, made from a series of double or treble crochets made in one chain stitch and joined at the top. Each shell stitch is separated at the bottom by chain stitches.

This stitch is used as a filling stitch or as a decorative border, most commonly found in afghans and sweaters. The size of the shell depends on the size of stitch used.

Accessories 

Accessories finish an outfit; the little black dress is so popular because of this. It can be so many different outfits just by changing the accessories. This applies to any outfit whether it is a casual denim look, office or a very fancy evening look. Make your own accessories personalized to your taste and style. There was a time, of course, when it was common to have hand made accessories, now it is very special. Have a peek at the accessories to make in these vintage books; headbands, hats, snoods, hat pins, hair combs, blouses, dickies, vests, gloves, belts, scarves, purses, collars, boutonierres, shawls, stoles and shorties. You can browse or purchase these books in PDF format to download.
