Here is a step-by-step tutorial so you can make exactly the same lace pattern as in the picture.
I’ll guide you row by row with clear instructions.

🌸 FULL DETAILED CROCHET TUTORIAL

🧶 Stitches Used

ch – chain
dc – double crochet
sc – single crochet
sk – skip stitch
sp – space

🔢 FOUNDATION

This pattern needs a multiple of 6 + 2.

✔ Example:

Make 62 chains (6×10 + 2).

🌟 ROW 1 (Mesh Base Row)

This creates the open grid that your shells will sit on.

Dc in 6th ch from hook.
Ch 1, sk 1 ch, dc in next ch.
Repeat step 2 across.
End with a dc in the final chain.

You should now have this:
dc – ch1 – dc – ch1 – dc … creating small open squares.

🌟 ROW 2 (Shell Row)

The shells in the picture are built on every other mesh space.

Ch 3 (counts as dc).
In next ch-1 space → make 5 dc (a shell).
Sk next dc.
Sc in top of next dc.
Sk 1 dc.
In next ch-1 sp → 5 dc (shell).
Repeat shell → sc → shell → sc to the end.
End the row with 1 dc in the last mesh space or last dc.

This row gives the arched shapes you see in the picture.

🌟 ROW 3 (Mesh Row Again)

This row resets the gaps so the next shell row alternates.

Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch1).
Dc on top of the sc from previous row.
Ch 1, dc on top of the center dc of the shell (the 3rd dc of the shell).
Repeat across:
- ch1, dc in sc
- ch1, dc in center of shell
End with ch1 + dc in last stitch.

This creates a new mesh layer.

🌟 ROW 4 (Shell Row Again)

Same as Row 2 but the shells now land between the previous shells.

Ch 3.
5 dc into next ch-1 space.
Sk 1 dc.
Sc in next dc.
Repeat across.
End with dc in last stitch.

🔁 REPEAT

Repeat Row 3 + Row 4 until your piece reaches the desired size.

The fabric will form the exact diagonal-style lace in your image.

📌 EXTRA TIPS

✔ Keep shells tight & even

The beauty of this pattern comes from evenly spaced 5-dc shells.

✔ Use smaller hook for tidy look

The sample in your photo was likely made with a 1.75–2.00 mm hook and thin cotton yarn.

✔ Blocking makes it perfect

Lightly steam or wet block to open the lace.
