Shell Stitch Blanket

"Tutorial for a simple shell stitch blanket. This is my go-to for baby blankets because it works up quickly and is very pretty. Solid colors, stripes, variegated and ombre - this pattern is very versatile. Tutorial shows you how to calculate the number of chains you need for the size blanket you want to make. This pattern can be used to make a blanket in any size you need, just keep repeating Row 2 until you get the desired length. "
