5-dc Shell in ch-sp: 5 dc into the chain space

Here, we will explain the crochet technique of "making 5 double crochets by picking up the stitches from the previous row as a bundle" using videos and photos.
The cover of the video shows the knitting symbol (stitch symbol) for "Gather the stitches from the previous row and knit 5 double crochets."

In crochet, it is common to pick up a stitch from a chain made in the previous row and crochet the next row.
At that time, there were two ways to pick up the eye.
The previous section involved two knitting methods: one where you "split the chain and knit" and another where you "scoop up the chain in a bundle and knit."

The appearance of the knitted fabric will differ slightly depending on which knitting method you use.
Some patterns have subtle differences, while others are easily recognizable. Furthermore, sometimes different patterns are deliberately used for design purposes.
If this difference is important, there may be supplementary explanations included in the knitting pattern.

Depending on the pattern, you can sometimes tell which knitting method to use by looking at the knitting chart symbols.
Here, we'll briefly explain the differences you can see by looking at the knitting patterns.

In the example of "working in 5 double crochet stitches," you can determine this by looking at the base of the symbol for 5 double crochet stitches in the pattern.
Knit into the first stitch of the previous rowIf you knit a chain (by splitting it), the bases of the knitting pattern symbol for the 5 double crochets will be together, but if you knit 5 double crochets in a bunch, the bases of the double crochets will be separated.

This page explains the latter method of knitting by "scooping the yarn into bundles."
