Who doesn’t like the beach! I grew up on the seaside and always loved looking for shells and watching the waves and after Shell Yeah I decided to do another shell design, but with smaller shells and easily adjustable to any size.

Happy to introduce Beach Please

An overlay mosaic crochet pattern.

Eight different shells and three different waves in 24 and 36 wide repeats, plus a separator of 12 wide that can be combined any way you like.

Pattern includes full details for a baby blanket, throw and placemat with charts (DC’s marked with X), written instructions, repeat schedules, yarn, colours and hooks used.
