How was the shell made? If you could tell us what the pattern repeat
for that part was, it would help. I'm guessing that there was a shell
made of 3 dc in one ch, then skip 2 ch (or maybe ch 2), and then maybe
a sc? In that case, I think they just want you to end up with the same
number of stitches, but they don't want you to make stitches into the
(skipped) chains.
