Raised Stacked Shell Stitch Pattern

Raised Stacked Shell Stitch

The raised stacked shell stitch is basically the same as the stacked shell stitch, except you are substituting a front and rear post stitch instead of the double crochet stitch between shell clusters. This gives more texture and depth to your crochet pattern.
