This step-by-step includes photos showing a closer look at the boxed shell stitch pattern, helpful to refer to when crocheting items that include this type of stitch pattern. These photos show rows from my Boxed Shell Cape pattern but can be used to learn how to crochet my basic Boxed Shell variation, which I have also used to create other patterns that I have placed as free patterns on this site.
The photo above shows Rows 1 - 4 of my Boxed Shell Cape pattern, with the stitches marked on the photo to describe Row 4.
