Crochet: Seashell Pattern for Blankets

Hi everyone;

I decided to make a blanket for a Baby Boy, as a gift to my friend. And I found excellent pattern. So I would like to share with you.

The pattern is created in multiples of 12 chains +1 ,
so you can size it to fit whatever you are making (scarf, blanket, baby blanket, etc.).
I made a baby blanket and honestly works up quickly:)

I used "NAKO Baby Tweed, Joyful New yarn- 81046"  and a 4.5mm hook. and started with 133 chains.

For more information you can watch : the Video Tutorial : by Yolanda Soto Lopez

Written Pattern Example : for 37 chains (12x3)+1
1- make 37 chains
2- make SC on each chain, turn
3- make 5 chains and 1 DC in the same st., ,
*[skip 3 st., make 5 SC on next 5 st., skip 3 st.,
make (DC+2 ch+DC+2ch+DC) on next st., ] *  repeat between *
skip 3 st,, make 5 SC on next 5 st, skip 3 st.,
and on last st. make 1 DC+2ch+1DC. Turn.
4- make 3 ch, make 4 DC in the space,
*[skip 2 st, make 3 SC, then make 4 DC in the space, make 1 DC on the previous DC, then again make 4 DC in the next space, ]*  repeat between *

Crochet: Baby Blanket with SHELL STITCH

SHELL STITCHm it is really simple and very nice to make it. I love it and I decided to make baby blanket for my friend's baby boy . Still I am working on it, so when I finished I will share the pictures in here.
You will find the Diagram and the Video of this stitch on below.

I used soft yarn with 4mm Hook.

Symbols:

Chain Stitch – Ch
Single Crochet-sc
Double Crochet-dc

Turning Chain - tch

Foundation Chain: Chain multiples of 6 + 1 (add 1 for base chain)

Row1 :  1 sc into 2nd ch from hook, *skip 2ch, 5dc into next ch, skip 2ch 1 sc into next ch; rep from * to end, turn.

Row 2 : 3ch (count as 1 dc), 2dc into first st, *skip 2dc, 1 sc into next dc, skip 2dc, 5dc into next sc; rep from * ending last rep with 3dc into last sc, skip tch, turn.

Row 3 : 1 ch, 1sc into first st, *skip 2dc, 5dc into next sc, skip 2dc, 1sc into next dc; rep from * ending last rep with 1 sc into top of tch, turn.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you have reached your desired length.

PS: to be honest instead of dc (double crochet) , I ve done tr (treble crochet) because it looks more puffy :)
