Used Patterns
Replaced pattern of shells A: the quantity of sts is multiple 12 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme A. Start the row with chain sts increase and sts before the 1st arrow, pattern repeat, finish with sts after the 2nd arrow. Make groups of double crochets = shells in the 3rd and 6th rows and also single crochets in the 4th and 7th row in chain sts of the previous row. Make 1st-8th rows x once, repeat 3rd-8th rows.
Replaced pattern of shells B: the quantity of chain sts is multiple 12 + 9 + 3 chain sts increase. Work in the same way, as replaced shells pattern A, but due to the scheme B.
Stitches control: 2 pattern repeats x 9 rows of replaced shells = 13 x 10 cm.
