Crochet Shell Stitch Baby Blanket

Lion Brand® Lion® Organic Cotton

GAUGE:

13 sts + 7 1/2 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Crochet Shell Stitch Baby Blanket Reviewed by edna allen on 2013-03-13 *****
Wow, I love this pattern. Very easy and turns out so beautiful. Real quick too. Made it with cotton yarn but the regular acrylic might be easier.
