little shell circle

Crochet
English Finnish

This motif uses half double crochet instead of the more familiar double crochet to give a delicate openwork effect. A chain, a single crochet stitch, and another chain stand in place of the first half double crochet. The first chain is made to reach the height of the single crochet, so always join at the end of the round into the chain after the single crochet.
