This is a video tutorial and a symbol chart for a beautiful and easy lacy stitch, which features shells with picos.

I used 100% mercerized cotton thread size 10 (specifically Aunt Lydia’s) and a crochet hook size 1.6 mm.

However, you can use size 3 thread or even yarn (category 2 and 3 yarns will work well). I don’t recommend variegated yarns as the stitches will blend and the beautiful pattern won’t be visible.
