This pattern does not mention crochet hook size, anyone know that? I started with a 6 because the yarn is bulky 5 but it does not appear that it is going to lay flat or straight. I am very good with the stitch on basic afghans but this is the first time doing the shell stitch. Help anyone? Thank you

This is actually called the 'box shell' and can be made with 3 or 4 dc.
