Merrow has had more than 120 years to refine and perfect its Crochet machine, and it remains the industry standard today. The crochet stitch forms a beautiful plain edge finish on a wide variety of goods – it’s a classic that never goes out of style. You can count on Merrow's cam-driven machines to produce a quality uniform stitch every time. With the Merrow crochet machine you can finish a variety of articles with a decorative or retentive covering edge. Crochet machines can be configured to produce a rolled (18-A) or flat (18-E) edge, a two-thread stitch for additional color and contrast (17-F & 15-CA-1), and a single- or double-course edge (15-CA-1).

Merrow Machine Company was the first to automate the process for crochet stitching. The Merrow Crochet Shell machines produce both the original plain crochet stitch and ornamental shell stitches ranging from approximately 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch in width. These two-thread machines allow you to vary the color of the second thread to brighten or complement the piece. The Merrow Crochet Shell machines give you a wide range of stitching options. By changing the feed gears and Feed Raising Cams, each machine can be configured to produce a plain crochet stitch and 3-, 4-, 6- or 8-stitch shells. Another option is to set up the machines to produce 3- and 6-stitch shells or 4- and 8-stitch shells.
