Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing with you my newest crochet pattern, the Striped Shell Baby Blanket. One of my favorite crochet stitches to make is the shell stitch. I was looking around in my yarn stash and wanted to put some different colors together. This is where the idea for this blanket came about. This is a great little blanket to welcome baby!
For the Striped Shell Baby Blanket, I used Caron Simply Soft yarn, which is a worsted weight #4 yarn. However, you can use any worsted weight yarn you’d like. I also used a size H-8 (5.0mm) 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!
Striped Shell Baby Blanket
Materials:
- Caron Simply Soft yarn (worsted weight yarn; 315 yards per skein)
-
- 4 skeins of White
- 1 skein each of Robin’s Egg, Orchid, Sunshine, and Soft Pink
- H-8 (5.0mm) crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Size:
31×51
Notes:
- This blanket is worked in a multiple of 6 plus 1. This means you will multiple any number by 6 to get your desired width. Once satisfied, you will add 1 chain to the very end to keep everything in balance.
- Each color is worked in 6 rows. The middle is worked in 30 rows. Please see color sequence below.
