Seashell Garland/Motifs

Description

There is nothing quite like bringing a little bit of the ocean’s calm into our homes, and this lovely seashell motif project does just that. If you are a beginner, please don’t you worry for a single moment, these shapes are wonderfully satisfying to make, and they work up much faster than you think. We use classic techniques like the magic circle and simple stitches to build the shapes, alongside the gorgeous reverse single crochet (or crab stitch) for that perfect, crinkled shell border that looks tricky but is truly a breeze once we do it together.

These little ocean treasures are absolutely wonderful for so many things. You can string seven of them together onto some rustic jute twine to drape across a mantel, accent a sunroom, or decorate for a summer gathering. They also make the sweetest individual gifts, you can use them as appliques on beach bags, sweet little pocket tokens for family, or unique gift toppers that your loved ones will cherish.
