Delicate Shell Blankets – Free Crochet Patterns
Oh, our beloved shell stitch crochet blankets! They are versatile, easy to make and come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you need a simple blanket pattern, edging, or inspiration for a lace shawl, it’s there for you. Shells are one of the most popular stitches because the basics are very simple, and you can later modify them to your needs. Usually, you make it by working 5 or more double crochet stitches through the same stitch. This way, they are side by side, making a half-moon shape.
The size of the shell depends greatly on the kind of stitch you use (single, half, or double crochet), as well as the number of stitches worked through the loop. If you need an idea for a gift, consider making Delicate Shell Blankets, because they look stunning! Check out these free patterns under the links below and follow us on Facebook and Pinterest for more creative ideas!
