Crochet Pattern: Shelly Sash
Row 1: ch 4, dc in first ch (beginning ch 3 counts as dc here and throughout), (2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in same ch–one shell made: 1 shell
Row 2: ch 3, turn, shell in ch-2 sp, dc in last dc: 2 dc and 1 shell
Rows 3-70: repeat row 2, finish off and weave in ends.
Enjoy your sash! Make it as short or as long as you want by making less or more rows. Use crochet thread to make it into gorgeous yet easy trim for anything at all. Make it shorter and use them as straps for garments or bags–the possibilities truly are endless with this easy pattern!

So cute!
For the Row 1 – is it dc in the first chain next to the hook or the first chain made? Is the ch sp (chain space) the area under the chain? Thanks so much! I can’t wait to get one finished!
yvonne it appears to me it is the first chain made so the next 3 will be ur 1st dc in that row …btw soo cute!! love it ,,i would use it as a belt……happy crocheting everyone
I would make shell st around the outer edge, (maybe using two different colors -one for the body, one for the outer edge) perfect skinny scarf! Nice, simple and fast. Just in time to start our Christmas crocheting………..LOL
This is so pretty!
I need a new head band too!
That would make a nice headband, or belt.
Yvonne, it has to be the first chain from the hook. Otherwise, it would make a ring, instead of a long piece. Have fun!
I really, really like your posts. I enjoy them too much. Thank you for being generous with your creations.
A big hug for you
I saw this belt a while ago when I was sick. I could not find it after so I’m super happy that you inclosed all the directions to make it. Thank you so much. I’m learning so much from these web sites.
