This is a beginner friendly pattern. The pattern is written with both standard abbreviations and with written out instructions that are designed to be simple to understand in order to make it more accessible to new crocheters.

The pink and white version of this blanket won the 2nd prize in the MD state fair for it’s catergory in 2024.

This pattern is for 2 variations of the diagonal shell stitch. There is a lacier and a less lacy version.

This blanket is a fairly simple one with the following skills needed: Slip stitch, chain stitch, single crochet, and double crochet. There are pictures that assist with stitch placement. This is a 6 row repeat blanket but most rows are just a row of single crochet.

This is a pattern for the blanket shown. This blanket uses one strand of yarn at a time and can be done in any weight yarn with appropriate hook size. I used some partial skeins of yarn, all worsted weight but some without labels; I don’t know the names or even brands of yarn used.

Award Winning! The original blanket won 2nd in the MD state fair for it’s catergory.

I made the blanket holding 2 to 4 strands of yarn together at the same time however the pattern can be done holding a single strand.

I have written this pattern so that you can adjust the sizing to your needs. The 8k-10k yardage was for a queen sized blanket. In that blanket I used roughly 700 yards per shade of purple.
