BACK: Ch 71 (75, 79), 1 d c in 7th st from hook, * skip next 3 sts of
ch, 1 d c, ch 3, 1 d c (shell) in next st of ch, repeat from * across
row, 17 (18, 19) shells. 2nd ROW: Ch 6, rice st in 3rd st from hook
(rice st: Keeping last loop of each st on hook, 3 d c in same space, y o
hook and pull through all loops at one time, ch 1), * s c in ch 3 loop
of next shell, ch 4, rice st in 3rd st from hook, ch 1, s c in next
shell, repeat from * across row ending with s c in 3rd st of turning ch,
ch 6, turn. 3rd ROW: D c in same space, * shell in next s c between rice
sts, repeat from * across row ending with d c in 3rd st of turning ch.
Repeat last 2 rows twice. 8th ROW: Ch 6, d c in same space, * shell
between next 2 shells, repeat from * across row ending with d c in 3rd
st of ch, ch 6, turn. Repeat last row 3 times, but do not ch 6 at end of
last row. 12th ROW: Repeat 2nd row. 13th ROW: Repeat 3rd row. Repeat
last 2 rows once. (This completes border.) 16th ROW: Ch 6, d c in same

measures 23 inches from beg.
SHAPE ARMHOLES: NEXT ROW: Sl st across 1st 2 shells to space between 2nd
and 3rd shell, ch 6, d c in same space, work in pattern across row to
within last 3 shells, skip next d c and ch 3 of next shell, d c in next
d c, turn. NEXT ROW: Work even in pattern. NEXT ROW: Sl st across 1st
shell to space between 1st and 2nd shell, ch 6, d c in same space, work
in pattern across row ending with d c in last d c of shell before last

7½ (7½, 8) inches from beg, cut yarn. SHAPE SHOULDERS: NEXT ROW: Skip
1st 3 shells (all sizes) attach yarn between 3rd and 4th shell (all
