What you need to know

Finish Susie Johns' blanket-along with shell stitch crochet

Last up is our final crochet stitch pattern - shell stitch. These lovely scallops are worked using double and treble crochet stitches. Double crochet stitches are not as tall as trebles and it’s this alternating height which creates the wavy effect. You can position the squares horizontally or vertically to mix up the look. Our blanket is arranged in a 6x6 grid but you could make more or fewer squares to make a rectangular shape if you prefer. Share your photos on our Facebook group! Download this easy pattern today.
