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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

5-dc shell Work 5 dc in indicated st or ch.

NOTES:

To change color, work last stitch until there are 2 loops on hook, yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch.
