 (22:11) Sewing together:

To see detailed instructions for the following see the video at www.ClubCrochet.com/SHELL

Highly suggested (because it’s hard to explain).

Place the Shell and Base facing each other and sew the black tail end of the Shell out the top
of the Base to hold it in place.

Using the long end of the Border chs on a needle, enter the Shell just before the beginning of
Rnd 4 (above where the Red stitches end). Exit the Top under the front loop of the first stitch
from Rnd 4.

Now enter the back loop of the next ch along the Border.

Next enter the front loop of the next stitch along the Shell.

Finally enter the back loop of the adjacent stitch along the Base (pic A).

Continue this process to sew the Border, Shell, and Base together. When you get to a hole
(black stitches from Rnd 4 of the Shell) leave the Base for two stitches and go around the
black stitches on the Shell sewing on the Border. There should be three stitches and chs used
for each hole (pic B and C).

When you come back around to where you began, use the other tail end from the Border to
sew into the Shell and out through the top of the Base. Then use the original tail end from the
Border to make a hidden end around the first ch and out through the Base (pic 7).

Cut the ends and hide them in.
