Miss Carole's Crochet Baby Blanket Part 3 - Shell Stitch



For Lesson One...
For Lesson Two...


This is how Carole  makes her Shell's around her blankets.


Carol's pretty Shell's.




*NOTE - This is not a Crochet Lesson.  She is giving instructions for those who already know how to crochet.  


You will need to find Beginning Crochet Instructions to learn to Crochet.


The row of Shell's begins after the first two rows are completed (see previous lessons). If you are changing colors, tie on here.  The Shells will be row three.


Step 1.  Work the scallops from the WRONG side of the blanket (you will be working in the opposite direction). 


Step 2.  For the first scallop only:  Chain 4; work three double crochet (dc) chain 1 combinations and one double crochet in the same single crochet as you began your chain 4.  (first Shell made)


Step 3. Skip four single crochets. In the next single crochet work 4 double crochet, chain 1 combinations and  one double crochet without  the chain one after it.   Repeat Step 3 around the entire blanket and join the thread from the first scallop by working a slip stitch between the top of your original chain 4 and the loop in your hook.  Tie off in a secure knot and weave the long ends carefully into the finished work.  This blanket will be a favorite so be sure that is one SECURE knot!!
Use a cute little holder when putting your work away.




Very pretty with two colors!
