You Will Need (3 things)

  • 2 skein Pound Yarn
  • Crochet Hook (size P)
  • Scissors

Steps (7 steps, 900 minutes)

  1. 1

    Step 1 // Start by tying your two yarn colors together.

  2. 2

    Step 2 // Make a slipknot past the tie.

  3. 3

    Step 3 // Chain 51, or any number divisible by 3. This will be the width of the blanket.

  4. 4

    Step 4 // At the end of your chain, chain 2, turn around, then double crochet into the third loop. Double crochet the entirety of the chain, for a total of 51 stitches.

  5. 5

    Step 5 // At the end of the chain, chain 2, turn around, then double crochet 3 times into the 2nd loop from the end of your original chain. This creates the shell stitch. Skip two loops, then double crochet 3 times into the 3rd loop. Repeat this pattern for the entirely of the chain, for a total of 51 stitches.

  6. 6

    Step 6 // Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you've reached 51 rows. Tie off.

  7. 7

    Step 7 // Cut 3 inch pieces of yarn, & bundle together. Knot them to the four corners of your blanket through the corner stitches, as seen above.

    [Side note about tassels: make sure they are tied super tight if you are giving this gift to an infant! I pulled on each individual string to make sure that they were not going to budge in the hands (& mouth) of a baby.]
