Do you know that little tune Under the sea Under the sea When the sardine Begin the beguine It's music to me! Well, this crochet stitch has a marine theme and we have called it the Ariel stitch. Its name reflects these little shells and sea anemones lined up, which can be seen at the end of the project, make us think of the most famous little mermaid in the world.
