[NFB-Krafters-Korner] crocheting various shell stitch patterns

[Linda C. Knight]

Hi Tammy and all,

I have just completed a shell afghan for a friend. 

I used the solid shells. 

It was five dc shell. And skipped two chains and five crochets in next stitch. Very pretty. 
Now I'm crochet a border.
