Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Seaside Shells Crochet Blanket:

1. Start with a Foundation Chain: Chain 120. This will form the base of your blanket.
2. Row 1:
   • In the 5th chain from the hook, work 5 double crochets (this forms your first shell).
   • Skip the next 2 chains.
   • Single crochet in the next chain.
   • Repeat the following sequence across the row:
     • Skip the next 2 chains.
     • Work 5 double crochets in the next chain.
     • Skip the next 2 chains.
     • Single crochet in the next chain.
   • When you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • In the first single crochet from the previous row, work 2 double crochets.
   • Skip the next 2 double crochets.
   • Single crochet in the next double crochet.
   • Repeat the following sequence across the row:
     • Skip the next 2 double crochets.
     • Work 5 double crochets in the next single crochet.
     • Skip the next 2 double crochets.
     • Single crochet in the next double crochet.
   • At the end of the row, work 3 double crochets in the last single crochet, then turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket measures 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to maintain the same tension throughout to keep your stitches even.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a neat and polished look.
