Step-by-Step Instructions
Row 1: Starting the Chain and Single Crochets
- Begin with a Slip Knot: Create a slip knot on your hook.
- Make Chains: Work chains in multiples of 16. For the sample, create a total of 48 chains.
- Add 1 Extra Chain: After completing the multiples of 16, chain 1 additional stitch.
- Single Crochet Across the Row:
- Start single crochets in the second chain from the hook.
- Work single crochets all the way down the row.
Row 2: Chain Loops
- Chain 3: This will count as your first double crochet.
- Turn Your Work and Chain 2 Extra: Skip the first two stitches and single crochet into the third stitch.
- Chain 5 and Skip Stitches:
- Chain 5, skip three stitches, and single crochet into the fourth stitch.
- Repeat this process across the row.
- Finishing Row 2: At the last four stitches:
- Chain 2 and double crochet into the final stitch.
- This creates symmetry with the beginning of the row.
Row 3: Creating Shell Stitches
- Start with a Chain 5:
- Single crochet into the first chain-5 space.
- Continue by chaining 5 and working into the next chain-5 space.
- Work Shell Stitches:
- In the next chain-5 space, work 8 double crochets to form a shell stitch.
- Follow this by single crocheting into the next chain-5 space.
- Repeat Across the Row: Alternate between shells and single crochets with chain-5 loops in between.
Row 4: Adding Detail with Chain-Spaced Double Crochets
- Start with a Chain 2: Turn your work and begin the row.
- Work Double Crochets with Chain Spaces:
- Double crochet on top of each stitch from the previous row, adding a chain 1 between each double crochet.
- Ensure that stitches are worked into the double crochets, not the chain spaces.
- Adding Single Crochet Loops: After completing the shell, single crochet into the next chain-5 space, chain 5, and repeat the process.
Row 5: Double Crochet 3 Together
- Start with a Chain 2: Begin the row by turning your work.

Row 6: Picot Edge for the Final Touch
- Slip Stitch to Reach Chain-2 Space: Start by chaining 1 and slip stitching to the first chain-2 space.
- Work Picot Stitch: For each space:
- Chain 3, slip stitch into the first chain, and slip stitch back into the chain-2 space.
