this is going to be a shell hat I'm using AG crochet hook and four ply yarn
we'll be starting off with the Magic Circle this is how you do the Magic
Circle you grab a hold of it with your thumb and finger wrap it around and then
wrap it over the back of your hand put your hook under the Strand of yarn and
pull it through and then chain one now I'm going to start off with one single
crochet now I'm going to do a shell a shell in this project is going to be
five double crochet so I'm going to do five double crochet in the loop
you
another single crochet and now I'm going to do another shell in this beginning
round we'll be doing four shells all together so I'm doing another five
double crochet
single crochet and you can see it's taking on a scalloped shape here now
five more double crochet
single crochet and five more double crochet which is the last shell
now slip stitch in the beginning single crochet this completes round one
now we can go ahead and pull our Magic Circle we can pull it nice and tight
there and you can see four scallops and this is what round one looks like now we
want to slip stitch over to the third double crochet of the shell this is what
we do to slip stitch put the hook underneath the next stitch wrap the yarn
over and pull it through move on up to the next stitch put the hook underneath
that stitch wrap the yarn over pull it through and now I need to slip stitch
into the third stitch put the hook through the stitch wrap the yarn over
pull it through and you can see here how the slip stitches take on the
appearances of the top of the double crochet a slip stitch is just a
technique to get you to another stitch and so you're not really doing anything
with it it just keeps you from breaking the yarn
but it's taking you over to a different place
you
now in this first stitch I'm going to chain one and do a single crochet and
now down here in the single crochet this next stitch is going to be a shell
increase and it's going to be three double crochet and we're doing this all
in the single crochet down here chain one
3 more double-crochet
you
and so what I'm doing is actually these shells are smaller versions of a regular
size shell but if I did five it would be too full
so I'm actually doing three instead so each one of these three sets of stitches
is counting as a individual shell and so it really takes two rows to do an
increase for the shells but once you do it it'll all make sense and now we do a
single crochet in the top of the next stitch now in the center of the next
single crochet we're doing another shell increase which is three double crochet
chain 1 3 more double-crochet
single crochet in the top center up in previous shell now we're doing another
increase of three double crochet chain one three double crochet
single crochet in the center of the next Shell and our last set of increases
which is three double crochet chain 1 3 double-crochet now we slip stitch in our
beginning single crochet and as you can see the hat is taking on the appearance
of a square but that is correct now here at the beginning of round 3 I'm going to
slip stitch over to the center so what I want to do now is chain 1 and do a
single crochet in the second stitch over and now in the chain 1 space I want to
do 5 double crochet
and when all this is done we'll wind up with eight shells now a single crochet
in the center of the next increased shell and now down here in the single
crochet we'll do five double crochet
now a single crochet in the second stitch over in the increase shelf now
five double crochet in the chain one in these first few rounds I know I these
first few rounds the hat is taking on a square shape and that is right but it
will work itself out into a circle now a single crochet in the second double
crochet over the center of the shell of the increased shell now five double
crochet in the single crochet
you know a single crochet in the center of the increased shell five double
crochet in the chain one space
and continue on around to the beginning I've completed round three and I'm going
to slip stitch in the single crochet and now slip stitch up to the third double
crochet that's how we will start each round by slip stitching to the center of
the shell now chain 1 and single crochet and round 4 will just be a regular row
of shells no increases and we'll do 5 double crochet in the next single
crochet single crochet in the center of the shell 5 double crochet in the next
single crochet
you
a single crochet in the center of the next Shell and continue that on around
I've completed the last shell of round 4 and I'm slip stitching in the beginning
single crochet this is what round 4 looks like and I'm going to slip stitch
up to the third double crochet chain 1 and single crochet rounds 5 and 6 are
going to be increased rounds again so we set up with round 5 doing the
abbreviated smaller shell and then we complete it with round 6 or in round 5
and 6 will be the last increases then that we do now in the next single
crochet I'm going to do my increase shell which is 3 double crochet chain 1
3 double-crochet
now single crochet in the top of the next shell and now I'm just going to do
five double crochet so this is just the regular shell so when we're done with
this round we'll have four shells that are three double crochet chain 1 3
double-crochet and we'll have 4 regular shells with 5 double crochet in them now
single crochet in the center of the next Shell
now this next single crochet will be an increase show
you
single crochet in the top center of the next show now do a railer shell with
just five double crochet
single crochet in the top center of the next Shell now the next Shell will be an
increased show which will be three double crochet chain one three double
crochet
single crochet in the top center of the next Shell now do a shell of five double
crochet which is the regular show that's done in the next single crochet
single crochet in the top center of the next shelf now we're doing another
increase of three double crochet chain one three double crochet
single crochet in the top center of the next show now do a shell of five double
crochet which is the regular show
now we're back around to the beginning slip stitch in the beginning chain you
can see here we still have a little square going on but right here is the
increase shell and so we're actually making two more shells with the three
double crochet then we have the standard shell of just five double crochet and
the next Shell is two more shells and then just a regular shell what you will
have is four shells with five double crochet each and four shells with three
double crochet chain 1 3 double-crochet and there is what round 5 looks like now
with round 6 will slip stitch over to the center of the three double crochet
shell which is an increase chain one single crochet in the center and now we
do five double crochet in the chain one space
single crochet in the center of the next increased shell now do five double
crochet in the next single crochet
single crochet in the center of the next Shell five double crochet in the next
single crochet
now single crochet in the next increase shell which will be in the second double
crochet over now five double crochet in the chain one space now single crochet
in the center the second double crochet over and continue on around to the
beginning and you will end up with twelve shells on round six now I'm
joining in the beginning single crochet
and I've completed round six and it still looks like a square but that's how
it should look and now round seven through seventeen are all going to be
done the same way there's no more increases so you'll be working with
twelve shells the beginning of each round will slip stitch up to the center
of the shell which is the third double crochet over chain one and then do a
single crochet and five double crochet in each of the previous single crochet
so you'll have five double crochet in each shell twelve shells each round
I've completed round 17 and I'm joining in the beginning single crochet now we
want to secure and tie a knot in the beginning with the magic loop if you
don't secure it well since it's just a loop it's going to come apart
now hide in the tail
and cut it off and we want to go ahead and hide the tail on the edge
