Another shell motif knit stitch to add to the collection, today we have the Horizontal Shell Knit Stitch. In this stitch, the shell motif is created against a background of garter stitch.
The texture of the shell clusters is created by knitting four stitches together twice (once through the backloop) for each shell on the seventh row of the pattern before the final knit row.
To perform the k4tog tbl and k4tog without too much frustration, stitches should be knitted loosely.
