Shell Stitch 11011

We've finally made it!  This is the last stitch in the variations on shell stitches series: stitch 11011.  I think this stitch is even easier to do than the original simple shell stitch because it is so obvious where to put your single crochet.  When I first started making shell stitches, a couple of years ago, I had some trouble deciding which one was the middle dc, but this clears all of that up.  You simply sc in the only space available.  This stitch looks virtually identical to the original, but it does use less yarn, so if running out of yarn is potentially going to be an issue, consider using this stitch instead. 

Here's the stitch pattern:
Stitch 11011:
Chain a multiple of 6 + 5
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, (sk 2, [2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc] in next ch, sk 2, sc) across, 3 dc in last ch
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc, ([2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc] in sc, sc in ch 1 sp) across, 3 dc in last sc

Repeat Row 2 for pattern


Here's the baby blanket pattern:
Chain  95, then work stitch 11011 until work is square.  Add this border and you're done:
Round 1: sc around, 3 sc in corner
Round 2: dc around, 5 dc in corner
Round 3: sc around, 3 sc in corner
Round 4: (sc, ch 3, sk 1) around, (sc, ch 3, sc in same stitch) at corner

I made this with Lion Brand Pound of Love in Honey Bee with a J hook.
