Used Patterns

Main pattern, crochet hook 5: double crochets, start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet and finish with 1 double crochet in the 3^rd chain st increase of the previous row.

Shells pattern, crochet hook 4,5: the quantity of sts is multiple 8 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start every row with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-15^th rows x once, then, repeat 3^rd-15^th rows, RS rows will become WS rows and vice versa.

Stitches control: main pattern: 14 sts x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

Shells pattern: 21 sts x 9,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
