I am excited to share with you this simple Baby Blanket. The entire blanket is made using a Half-Shell Crochet stitch. This is modified from a pattern I found years ago on the web. I don’t have the source to credit the original pattern.

For this blanket, I used 4 different colors of the Lion Brand Feels Like Butta Yarn – two skeins of each color are required.

Blanket Size: 26″ x 28″
Hook Size: F

Abbreviations:
CH: Chain
SC: Single Crochet
DC: Double Crochet

I chose to alternate colors every 8 rows, but you can make your own pattern.

Base Row: Chain 100 (Your base row needs to be a multiple of 3 + 1)

Row 1: Double Crochet in 4th chain from hook, CH 2, Single Crochet in same chain as last DC, * skip 2 chains [2 DC, CH 2, 1 SC] in next chain; repeat from * to the end of the row. CH3, turn.

Row 2: In the first Chain 2 space [1 DC, CH 2, 1 SC]. * In the next Chain 2 Space [2 DC, CH 2, 1 SC], repeat from * to end of the row. Chain 3, turn.

That is all there is to the pattern! You simply use a double crochet and single crochet to create an adorable blanket! Watch video here.
