Rnd 10-(sc, ch 3, sc) in first sc. *[(sc, ch 3, sc) in ch 2 sp, shell in ch 3 sp]** Repeat from * to ** around ending with (sc, ch 3, sc)

Rnd 11-Shell in ch 3 sp. *(shell in ch 3 sp, (sc, ch 3, sc) in ch 2 sp.)** Repeat from * to ** around ending with a shell.

Rnd 12– Repeat Row 10

Rnd 13– Repeat Row 11. End with shell. 2hdc in ch 3 space. sc in sc. ss in dc. Finishing

Cut yarn. Pull through. Weave in all ends.

Row 9 starts the fairy shell stitch. At the beginning of Row 10, (sc, ch 3, sc) happens 2 times in a row. Then at the beginning of Row 11 the shell happens 2 times in a row. In this picture, a shell has just been completed at the end of Row 11. The crochet hook is pointing at a ch 3 space. You need to place another shell there. It’s a little confusing. Remember to shell in the ch 3 space and (sc, ch 3, sc) in the ch 2 space of the shell. Don’t worry, when it’s all done, no one will notice you have two shells together.
