Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing with you my newest crochet pattern, the Slanted Shell Blanket. This is a great beginner-friendly crochet pattern that uses a variation of the shell stitch. The Slanted Shell Blanket consists of a one row repeat and can be made in a variety of different colors.
The Slanted Shell Blanket is made using Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in White, Soft Blue, Light Grey, and Greybeard. However, you can use any #4 worsted weight yarn you have in your yarn stash. This blanket is great to use up leftover yarn. I also used a size J-10 crochet hook. My favorite crochet hooks to use are the Clover Amour. You will also need a pair of scissors and a tapestry needle. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!
