Crochet seashells baby blanket, this sweet blanket reminds me of blue skies and different colour shells along the shore line of a favourite seaside resort I use to visit with my family as a child.
A pretty free crochet pattern made using the small shells stitch watch the stitch video.
Crocheted with a light worsted yarn (double knitting for the UK) for the samples, but you can use a thicker yarn and larger hook for cooler seasons.
