Notes

Notes
I chained 221 which gave me a 60” width.
Instead of Ch 3, I used the Stacked Sc.
Shell Used - 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc

I’ve been adding the Caron One Pound Golden yarn (which is about a shade darker than the goldish color in cake), every other color sequence so when I add the border using this yarn it will be part of the color sequence. So combination of this and 3 big cakes gives me a 38” height. Halfway point to my desired height of 78”.

Worked on this project on and off through the year and a half. One of those projects that got put to the side as I worked on other projects.

Finished Size:
W/O Border: 60” width x 76” height
W/ Border: 62” width x 78” height

Pattern
Multiples of 17+10

Row 1: Ch 129, dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in each of next 6 chs, skip 2 chs, Shell in next ch, skip 3 chs, Shell in next ch, skip 2 chs, dc in each of next 8 dcs across, ch 3 and turn.

Row 2: Dc in each of next 7 dcs, Shell in each of next 2 Shells, dc in each of next 8 dcs across, ch 3 and turn.

Repeat Row 2 until you reach the desired height.

Border

Raised my hook to a I/ 5.5mm for Border :

Round 1: Sc evenly around sides- in ch 2 space of shell - 2 Sc; in ch 3 space of shell - 3 Sc, In Corners- Sc, Ch 2, Sc.

Round 2: sc, sk 3, 7dc shell, sk 3 evenly around Throw, 9dc shell in Ch 2 corners.

To straighten edge I plan to do last row of blanket as follows:
dc in each of next 8 dcs, Ch 2 over first half of shell, sc in Ch 2 space, Ch 3 between Shells, sc in Ch 2 space, Ch 2 over shell

Double Shells Throw

Notes
 Shell Used in pattern - 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc
 Could work dc in back loops - OR –
Alternate Dc in back loops, Dc in Front Loops on every other row.
While doing front loop/back loop on 1st and last stitch of row make sure you go through both loops (v) of stitch to prevent holes on edges.
 More Dc’s = less lacy/holey, more Shells = more lacy/holey
