The Shell Rib Knit Stitch is a simple four-row-repeat knit stitch, featuring bobbles with the appearance of shells against a background of reverse stockinette stitch. 

This stitch requires a multiple of 5 plus 2 stitches. The shell motifs are created on row 4 by purling, knitting and purling into the same stitch.
