LACEBOARDER
The border is comprised of a number of stitches, of which are shells made with a varying number of dc's or a combination of two shells together in some corners.

When working any of the 4 edges in this round, you may need to skip 2 stitches instead of 3 one or a few times per side to ensure continuity of the pattern, esp on the puff stitch sides. It is not an error in the pattern-working the adjustments is necessary to keep the pattern repeat to the number of specified times.)
