The Boxed Shell Stitch Tutorial

Make a Foundation Chain

Start by making a foundation chain in a multiple of 5+2(add 2 for the base chain) For example, if you're making a row, you might chain stitches in the multiple of 5. Add two chains and add two more.

Row 1: (Starting on the right side of your chains) Skip 3 ch (counts as 1 dc) 1 dc into the next ch, * ch 3, skip 3 ch, 1dc into each of the next 2 ch; Repeat from * to the end of the row. Turn yarn.

Row 2: Ch3(counts as 1 dc), skip 1st st, 1dc into the next dc, *5dc into the 2nd ch of next ch-3 arch from the previous row; Repeat from* across. Make 1 dc into the top of turning ch.  Turn yarn.

Row 3: Ch3 (count as 1dc) Skip 1st st, 1dc into the next dc, * ch3, skip 3 dc, 1dc into each of next 2 dc; Repeat from* across the row. Turn yarn.

Repeat Rows 2-3 until you’ve reached your desired length.
