One rectangle measures 40 by 80 cm. Begin with a chain that’s about 40 cm long. Make sure your number of stitches can be divided by 8. Add another 4 chains.
I used 88 + 4 = 92 chains for my rectangle.

Row 1 sc in 2nd ch from the hook; sc in the other chains. Turn.
Row 2 Ch 3 (= 1st dc); dc in next 2 st ; skip next 2 st; (dc – ch 2 – dc) in next st;
skip next 2 st; *dc in next 3 st; skip next 2 st; (dc – ch 2 – dc) in next st;
skip next 2 st. Repeat from * and end with 3 dc. Turn.
Row 3 Ch 3 (= 1st dc); dc in next 2 st; *shell in chain space; dc in next 3 st.
Repeat from *. Turn.
Row 4 Ch 3 (=1st dc); 2 dc; * (dc – ch 2 – dc) in chain space of the shell
you made in round 3; ch 1; dc in next 3 st. Repeat from *. Turn.
Row 5 Like round 3.

Repeat row 4 and 5 until your rectangle is 80 cm long.
End with a row 5 . Then crochet a row like described:
Ch 3(=1st dc); dc in next 2 st; *Ch 2- sc in middle of the shell; ch 2; dc in next 3 dc.
Repeat from * until the end of the row. Ch 1 and turn.

Crochet an edge around the rectangle like this:
Top: sc in next 3 dc; *2 sc in chain space; sc in sc; 2 sc in chain space; sc in next 3 dc. Repeat from * until the end of the row.
Your number of stitches should be one less than the chain you made in the beginning.
For instance: I chained 92 and have 91 st left.
Continue on the long side of the rectangle and crochet a sc in each dc.
Continue on the bottom and crochet a sc in each st.
Continue on the other long side and crochet a sc in each dc. Close the round and fasten off.

Crochet another rectangle in the same way.
