sc (dc), into next sp, (3rd stripe) 5dc (5tr) into next sp (4th stripe),
repeat the shell pattern to the end of the straight side.
finish with a sc, (dc) in the last side sp (last stripe),
miss first two sts, 5dc (5tr) into the next st, miss 2st, sc (dc), into next st,
miss 1st, 6dc (6tr), into the st at top point, miss 1st, sc (dc), into next st, miss 2sts, 5dc (5tr) into the next st, miss 2sts,
