3 sc at the next corner and work along the foundation ch side. I did not work into each free loop of the foundation ch but skipped one loop under each shell to get approximately 145 sts, 3 sc in next corner, work up along the stripe edges again
3 sc in the corner and now proceed to work on top of your last row to level it out. 1 sc in beg ch-3, 1 sc in next 2 dc sts, 1 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next ch-1 space, 1 hdc in next st, *( 1 sc in next 2 dc of shell, sk next st on peak, 1 sc in last 2 dc of shell, 1 sc in next sc, 1 sc in next ch-1 space, 1 hdc in next st), repeat from * to last 3 sts, 1 sc in last 3 sts, sl st to the first sc in corner.
