158- ended having the shell at end and cant do the single end crochet, and 166, had shell plus two chains left, (the slipknot, first loop you have before counting and the first loop you count as one)

Its a good video, but it would be nice if you showed the last part better when you end the first row and turning to the second. Its off camera to a point whete i dont know what it truely looks like or how you got there. Also i dont think the 8 increase from 150 for desired size is correct on blog. Attempted to do it and ended not having enough. :-/

How do i end the first row of shells and start the second row?

This part is the simple part. I also need help with the subsequent rows, like others have posted as well.
