materials:

size 10 thread
size 0 (zero) hook

notes:
to work shell: (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in same st

to work no-ch sc (no chain single crochet): draw up a loop in same sp as prev. st (this forms your ch st), yo and draw through 1st loop on hook (this is same as drawing up the first loop of a sc), yo and draw through both loops (this finishes your st)
- consecutive no-ch sc are started by inserting your hook in the first loop draw up for the prev. st
