This crochet baby blanket features a texture-rich shell stitch in a solid color. The pattern includes instructions to make both a travel size blanket (24” x 30”) and a crib size blanket (30” x 40”).

This is a beginner pattern, but does require the knowledge of basic crochet stitches: chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, and slip stitch.

Materials needed:
-750 yards of worsted weight yarn for travel size, or 1000 yards of worsted weight yarn for crib size
(I used Caron Natura for my examples.)
-size K (10 1/2) crochet hook
-tapestry needle for weaving in ends
