Shell Edging from Treasures in Needlework

There was no illustration included with this edge; however, the instructions were clear and easy to follow for Shell Edging on page 289 of Treasures in Needlework.

My directions for the sample

Row 1: (#5 knitting needle) Net 9 loops in the foundation loop. [odd number]

Row 2: (#5 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop.

Row 3: (3/4" mesh stick) Net 3 knots in the first loop, *skip the next loop, net 4 knots in the following loop*; repeat from * to *.

Row 4: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, *skip the next loop, net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; repeat from * to *.

Row 5: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop.

Row 6: (3/4" mesh stick) Net 1 knot in the first loop, net 6 knots in the second loop, *without going around the mesh stick, pass the needle up through the following loop, down into the next loop and around the mesh stick, then up through the following loop, bring the thread behind the mesh stick and net 1 knot in the same loop, now bring the thread across the mesh stick and net 5 more knots in the same loop*; repeat from * to *, ending with net 1 knot in the last loop.

Row 7: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop, including the one wrapped around the mesh stick in the previous row (that loop may need to be pulled into position or adjusted so it hangs between the two single loops).

Row 8: (#2 knitting needle) Net 1 knot in each loop.
