The Stacking Alternate Shells Crochet Blanket is an easy pattern that produces impressive results.
The pattern is suitable for a girl or boy. It’s a great way to showcase a beautiful yarn you have in your stash. This pattern is perfect for a beginner. It’s fun and easy to make. Make it in all white for a beautiful gender-neutral christening blanket.

What you get: I want you to succeed in making this blanket and Love It.
The PDF includes a detailed 18-page tutorial with 49 step-by-step photos to walk you through and show you exactly where to stitch. Instructions are also given for the border. It reads like a friend explaining how to make the blanket. Pattern repeat is included so that it can be made virtually any size. The stitches used in this pattern are Single crochet, Double crochet, half double crochet, and chain stitches.

The pattern is written in US terms, but a chart is included for UK/AUS crochet terms.

If you are like me, you choose a blanket by the stitch/pattern first and not the size. Did you ever see a blanket you really Love but the pattern is for a baby blanket? Or is it baby blanket size, and you want to make a large afghan? Not a problem here. Every one of my patterns includes the pattern repeat so that you can make it ANY size.

My mother (aka pattern tester) made the green blanket in the photo. The color used was Avocado. It turned out so beautiful…..With the rich green color, I like hers better than mine!

The Ombre Blanket was made with Caron Jumbo Ombre Yarn in Faded Jeans. I used two 12 oz skeins for a total of 24 oz. I used a size H-8/5.5mm hook. The finished size is 31” wide x 47” Long.
