Shell Edging Photo How To Row 3 Parts 3 and 4
Photo tutorial continued from
Row 3, Parts 1 and 2 Photos
The next part is to slip stitch (sl st) in the end of the chain that was left from the beginning chain. Remember, there were a few chains left unworked after you finished Row 1? And you were told that you would learn later when and how to use these? Well, it is time.
All you need to do is make a slip stitch in the last chain of that unworked chain length. To make a slip stitch: insert hook through chain to be worked, yarn over hook, pull yarn through the chain and through the loop on the hook at the same time (a slip stitch does not add height and it is being used here to join the last part that was worked to this chain length).
The photo below shows how the piece looks after this is done. Look at the stitch that was just made by the crochet hook and you will see this slip stitch and see where it was made.
The last part of the Row 3 instruction is to Turn. This just means to turn the crocheted piece over so you have it ready to begin crocheting the next row. The photo below shows you what this piece looks like after you have turned it.
Row 4 Photos coming soon – I will put a link here when this is live on this site.

This Sophie T. La Croix edging design is from the early 1900s, now in the public domain, however, I have rewritten the crochet instructions to be in modern crochet terms and I have added considerably to the very limited crochet instructions that were written in the early 1900s by Sophie T. LaCroix. The early 1900s pattern had one black and white photo of the finished item with no additional photos.
