Grandma’s German Shells Blanket Pattern

I am so excited to introduce my pattern the Grandma’s German Shells Blanket. This beautiful lacy blanket combines two timeless stitches to make a look that is sure to please. The Virus stitch or German shells Stitch and the Granny Stitch or the Block Stitch work together in harmony in this pattern.
