Easy to make crochet two-tone shell

That crochet pattern in your image looks like a two-tone shell or cluster stitch border, made with soft yellow and mint green yarn. It uses basic crochet stitches — mostly chains, double crochets, and shell-like clusters.
Here’s how to make it step-by-step:

🧶 Crochet Two-Color Shell Border Tutorial

✳️ What You’ll Need

• Yarn: Two colors — Color A (light yellow/cream) and Color B (mint green)
• Hook: 2.5 mm (as shown on your Tulip hook)
• Scissors and yarn needle

---

🌼 PART 1 — Yellow (Base Section)

Step 1: Make the Foundation Chain

1. Start with Color A (yellow).
2. Chain a multiple of 4 + 2 extra chains (example: 26 chains = 24 + 2).
   • The multiple of 4 fits the shell pattern repeats.
3. Count your stitches carefully so each repeat fits evenly.

---

Step 2: Row 1 — Shell Base

1. Yarn over, insert hook into 4th chain from hook, and make 1 double crochet (dc).
   (The skipped 3 chains count as your first dc.)
2. Skip 1 chain, then make 2 dc in the next chain — this is your small “shell.”
3. Repeat this pattern:
   • Skip 1 chain, 2 dc in next chain
   • Continue until the end of the row.
4. Turn your work.

🧵 Tip: Your row should look like groups of 2 dc clusters separated by small gaps.

Step 3: Row 2 — Building the Texture

1. Chain 2 (counts as first dc).
2. Make 2 dc in the space between the 2-dc clusters from the previous row.
3. Repeat across the row:
   • 2 dc between each cluster gap
4. End with 1 dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1.
5. Fasten off the yellow yarn.

💛 You now have a soft, dense base with tiny shell textures.

🍃 PART 2 — Mint Green (Lacy Border)

Step 4: Attach the Green Yarn

1. Attach Color B (mint green) to the first stitch of the last yellow row.
2. Secure with a slip knot and chain 3 to start.

Step 5: Row 3 — Open Chain Loops

1. Chain 1 (counts as space), skip 2 stitches,
   then make 1 double crochet (dc) in the next stitch.
2. Repeat the pattern across:
   • (ch 1, skip 2 sts, 1 dc in next)
3. End with a dc in the last stitch.
4. Turn your work.

This creates the light green openwork look you see in the photo — gentle arches on top.

Step 6: Optional Finishing Touch (Optional)

If you want a polished edge:

1. Chain 1, make 1 single crochet (sc) in each dc and in each chain space across.
2. Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.
