Offset Shell Quick Crochet Dishcloth

The offset shell quick crochet dishcloth pattern features a lacy version of the shell stitch. In addition to the lace, it has a nice loose drape which is always nice in a dishcloth.

The offset shell also goes by a few other names including adjacent shells or asymmetrical shells. There are slight variations but basically the same technique is used.

I found the amount of lace was just right for a dishcloth, not to open and not to solid. It works up quickly and easily and also dries pretty quick as well.

Why not make a few for yourselves and a few for your gift baskets.
