Beautiful Shells Blanket Straight Edge

I wanted to add a straight edge to my Beautiful Shells Blanket so I came up with this. Now I can leave it as is or I can add another edge!

I’ve created a video tutorial as well.

Continue scrolling for the pattern and a few more photos.

I will start with the square version of this blanket.

You have 7 double crochet in each shell.

You will need the yarn and hook you used for your blanket.

sc = single crochet

Dc= Double crochet

hdc = half double crochet

ch = chain

st = stitch

sl st = slip stitch

** Repeat all text between stars*

To begin:


Sc into the 4th Dc (middle st) of one of the side shells, sc into the next st, hdc, Dc, Dc into the sc of the previous row, Dc, hdc, *3sc, hdc, 3Dc, hdc* Repeat around.

When you get to the corners you need to *Dc, chain 2 and Dc* into the corner sc. Repeat this for all of the corners




Here’s another photo

Then you can to the same to your Rectangular Shells Blanket

This blanket has 5 Dc in each shell.

To begin the Rectangular:

Sc into the 3rd double crochet of one of the side shells. Sc into next st, hdc into next st, Dc into the sc of the previous row, hdc into next stitch, *sc into next 3 st, hdc, Dc, hdc* repeat until you get to a corner.

Now the corner sc gets a *Dc, chain 2 and Dc*. Repeat this for all of the corners

Slip stitch to join at the end of the row. From here you can add any edge you like.
