Crochet: "Shell-ish" Pattern for Blanket

Hi there,

I found a picture of a lovely pattern in Internet, but I had to search and search to find an English ver. of it, then I started to make it with my own,,,  The Blanket as designed by a French Crocheter called Patty, and her website can be found here: http://pattycrochete/canalblog.com/

Crochet: Baby Blanket with SHELL STITCH

SHELL STITCHm it is really simple and very nice to make it. I love it and I decided to make baby blanket for my friend's baby boy . Still I am working on it, so when I finished I will share the pictures in here.
You will find the Diagram and the Video of this stitch on below.

I used soft yarn with 4mm Hook.

Symbols:

Chain Stitch – Ch
Single Crochet-sc
Double Crochet-dc

Turning Chain - tch

Foundation Chain: Chain multiples of 6 + 1 (add 1 for base chain)

Row1 :  1 sc into 2nd ch from hook, *skip 2ch, 5dc into next ch, skip 2ch 1 sc into next ch; rep from * to end, turn.

Row 2 : 3ch (count as 1 dc), 2dc into first st, *skip 2dc, 1 sc into next dc, skip 2dc, 5dc into next sc; rep from * ending last rep with 3dc into last sc, skip tch, turn.

Row 3 : 1 ch, 1sc into first st, *skip 2dc, 5dc into next sc, skip 2dc, 1sc into next dc; rep from * ending last rep with 1 sc into top of tch, turn.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you have reached your desired length.

PS: to be honest instead of dc (double crochet) , I ve done tr (treble crochet) because it looks more puffy :)
