Shell Stitches 00111 and 11100

These next stitches are very reminiscent of Stitch 2 from Darla Sim's book.  There are solid vertical columns separated by diagonal chains.  Stitches 00111 (pink) and 11100 (gray) are simple to do, and look interesting.  Honestly though, I don't intend to use these stitches again because I prefer Stitch 2.  It's like an optimized version of these modified shell stitches.  If you don't have the book, then this is an option.  Of these two stitches I predictably like the 00111 (pink) version because of the solid edges.


Well, here they are:
Stitch 00111:
Chain a multiple of 6 + 5
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, (sk 2, 3 dc in next ch, ch 2, sk 2, sc) across, 3 dc in last ch
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc, (3 dc in sc, ch 2, sc in first dc) across, 3 dc in last sc

Repeat Row 2 for pattern

Stitch 11100:
Chain a multiple of 6 + 5
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, (ch 2, sk 2, 3 dc in next ch, sk 2, sc) across, (ch 2, dc) in last ch
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc, (ch 2, 3 dc in sc, sc in third dc) across, (ch 2, dc) in last sc

Repeat Row 2 for pattern
