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 :)

Crochet: SIMPLE FLOWER

Hello,
I was trying to find a diagram of a very simple crochet flower. Because suddenly I thought that I can make a house gift to my friends, then in my mind I prepared something, but for this I needed a very simple "crochet flower". Anyway I found one of them (you will find the diagram in below), and I made a lot of flowers in different colours. At the end look at my creation!

Isn't it beautiful?
This one is a gift for my favourite Ice Cream Shop:)

  

 

I love it. Now I can make it for my friends house!
BUT next time I will use some colourful beads , I am sure it will be more beautiful:)

Crochet: "EXPERIMENTATION"

I love to search and look at the different projects, then I like to try it. One day while searching I found this pattern, Stunning Granny Squares - Just a picture though, no pattern! Searched and searched.... then I found this diagram (you will find it in below). No idea who created this pattern, so that's why it is "NO named pattern" for me. 
I had some left over yarn, and started to practice... then this gorgeous product  appeared !!!
I am sure one day I will do something with it, still in my mind and thinking: what am I gonna do with it? till that day here is the diagram and my trial's picture :)
