Im doing a mock up piece for a project and I wanted a nice and airy stitch with something extra and I fell for this one:

https://nordichook.com/the-shell-and-puff-v-stitch/

However when I come to the end of row 2 I’m having problems.

I have recounted my chain and stitches and row one went exactly as it should.

But row 2 should end with a single puff stitch in the last stitch - my work however wants to end with the shell part.

I’ve checked and every other one is a shell and puff so I haven’t accidentally made two of the same.

Why does mine end differently?

I’ve tried to just google and check ravelry by searching for halterneck patterns or backless top patterns and I’ve also tried putting the picture through google lens - but I can’t find anything I feel resembles this. Does anyone have any advice.

Would it be terribly hard to kinda free hand it. Make the neck piece on its own and the front piece on its own. How difficult is it to calculate increase and decrease with a shell pattern of this type?

TIA
