Another Shell from The Lady's Manual of Fancy-Work

Another Shell found on page 92 of The Lady's Manual of Fancy-Work: a complete instructor in every variety of ornamental needle-work, by Mrs. Pullan. This edge uses a multiple of 4 loops, plus 1 (for example: 13, 17, 21, 25). Her directions were clear and easy to follow. These shells are connected to each other.

Here are the instructions as I wrote them down as I made the sample.

Row 1: Using 1/4" mesh stick
Net 13 more knots in the foundation loop.

Rows 2-3:  Using 1/4" mesh stick
Net 1 knot in each loop.

Row 4: Using 1/2" mesh stick
Net 11 knots in the first loop, *skip 3 lops, net 12 knots in the next loop*; repeat form * to *.

Row 5: Using the #3 knitting needle (3.00 mm)
Net 1 knot in each loop for 11 (closed) loops, *pass the next (open) loop down through the middle of the skipped loops, net 1 knot in each loop for 11 (closed) loops*; repeat from * to *.

Row 6: Using the #3 knitting needle (3.00 mm)
Net 1 knot in each loop.
