How to Crochet the Coastal Breeze Stitch Photo Tutorial
Enjoy learning to crochet the Coastal Breeze Crochet Stitch pattern and add it to a variety of designs and looks!
I love the small, dainty texture of this crochet stitch. The texture looks like little sea shell and they especially stand out when the pattern is worked in multiple colours. I have chosen to work it in two colours, but you may also work this pattern in more than two, or even in a single colour.
The combination of crochet stitches is also a simple one including only single crochet stitches and chain stitches. As a whole it’s a bit of a moss stitch meets baby shell stitch pattern.

This stitch is worked in rows in this tutorial and it may be worked in one colour or many. I will be working this pattern in two colours labelled A and B.
To begin, with colour A, make a slip knot and make a foundation chain. For this stitch, you will need an even number of stitches for your foundation chain.

Row One: Sc in 2nd ch from your hook and each across. Ch 1, turn.
Row Two: Sc in 1st st, *ch 1, sk the next st, sc in the next st; Rpt from * across. Ch 1, turn.

For the pattern you will simply repeat rows four and five alternating between your colours every second row.
