Let's Start...!!!

Round 1 :-

Start with a Slip Knot.

Chain 30 + 1 Chain for the turning chain.

You can adjust the size by altering these stitches according to your requirement.

Start with a multiple of 6 + 1 Chain extra for the turning chain.

Once you reach end, Chain 2 and use the Straight Edge Turning Chain to make the make the Turning Chain.

Straight Edge Turning Chain:-

Usually you would Chain 2, turn and start working the next round. Here is a quick tip to have a nice straight edge which I have been using this for most of my crochet projects.

• Insert the hook into the 1st chain from the bottom.
• Yarn over and pull up a loop. You should have 2 loops on the hook.
• Turn your project and insert the hook into the first stitch.(the first Double Crochet)
• Yarn over and pull up a loop. You will have 3 loops on the hook.
• Again, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. You will have 2 loops on the hook.
• Lastly, yarn over and pull through 2 loops.
• This will make one Double Crochet.

Round 4 :-

(1 Double Crochet is already made while making the turning chain)

2 more Double Crochets in the same stitch - That would make total 3 Double Crochets.

1 Single Crochet on top of the Shell Stitch i.e. the 3rd stitch.

1 Shell Stitch (i.e 5 Double Crochets) in the next Single Crochet in between the 2 Shell stitches.

Repeat(1 SC (on top of the Shell) , 1 Shell St(in the SC in between the 2 Shells))
