🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:

*How much yarn will I need?* This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!

*How many squares do I need for a blanket?* That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀

*How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's?* Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.

I consider myself a "permanent beginner"... but this was SO easy once I watched the video a couple of times. Then I tried a sample swatch, and it all came together nicely. Tip for new crocheters who might be struggling with this: Watch on full screen to get the best view, and if it seems too fast for you, click on the little Settings gear, then click on Playback Speed, and choose a slower speed that's comfortable for you. Don't hesitate to back the video up, either. This is the beauty of "YouTube Learning"... you can always go back, make the view bigger, and slow things down to catch up until you're comfortable and you get the hang of it. Slowing down will also let you work right along with the narrator so you get to see, hear and "do" the new skill, which reinforces it.

If anyone is watching this now! Lol I had problems! I am not a fan of thick yarns! But I wanted to try this. I have painful fingers from arthritis. I kept dropping off my stitches. Ugh yep! So! Lol I decided I needed to practice something that might work for me! I kept thinking how this puff stitch reminds me of Tunisian crochet. I have one hook for Tunisian and it's a size m! Well I do have a couple skeins of super bulky. So I'm making earwarmers using a tunisian hook and bulky yarn. Lol. round one done! Thanks much for this pattern!

[edgarallenhoe]

That's such a clever way of getting around right side/wrong side issue to make all the shells the same WHILE enhancing the puff! I love it

My mum used this stitch on a shawl for my first born 44 years ago, my daughter still has it to this day wrapped in tissue paper. I love the colour of the wool you’re using. Thank you for sharing sending love and prayers always, please keep safe xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧

[cristinapetruzzellis]

I can't crochet, the way you explain is very easy, and I'm going to try, I'm so happy I found you, thanks a lot 💓

So beautiful! I'm going to make a stole for my grand niece for her wedding in August! I'm sure she'll love it! Thank you so much! God bless!

[rachellearcaro]

Wow this is incredible. Plus your choice of colourway is phenomenal - the blues and greys truly make it look like shells plucked from the ocean.

THANK YOU FOR ADDING SUBTITLES!!! You have such a wonderful finesse to your crocheting. also having accurate subtitles is always great just 😩👌 superb

[hallebrowne]

Ive started this stitch. Even though it doesn't make full sense right now, it will get better. Is it just me, or does it seem that we are working this shell upside-down? I really love it, though. Thank you to the instructor and other commentators for their input. ❤

[vandanachakraborty]

I was looking for a simple pattern for my daughter's scarf as I'm a beginner and dont know much...and this suddenly came in front of my eyes...It's very easy to learn from you...Very clear and perfect instructions.

THANK YOU, Robin!
What a fun look and texture!
At first I was confused as to why the rows of single crochets were being added & embedded,
but then remembered it's a PUFF SHELL!
So Clever & Cute!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have a little niece who’s obsessed with mermaids and the ocean. She turned 8 this past week and I used this pattern to make a “Seashell Blanket” (I used RedHeart in “Speckled”, an beige speckled with dark brown, and a H hook) for her and she absolutely loved it. Thank you again and please keep up the good work!
