Spring Shells Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Spring Shells Baby Blanket 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Crochet

The Spring Shells Baby Blanket is designed

 using open Shell Stitches.

It's perfect for Spring, it is light and

 airy but not too light.

Although I designed this blanket as a

 baby blanket it is very easy to

 adjust the length and width in order

 to make it any size you want.

It is a very easy 2 row repeat,

 and makes a great take along project.

I designed the blanket using Redheart 

Supersaver Stripes yarn in the Cool 

Stripe colorway. It is a beautiful yarn with

 shades of blue and green gradient shades.

 It reminds me of the meadow with a stream

 running through it. I think the Cool Stripe color

 is exactly the perfect name for the colors.

This blanket would also be lovely stitched

 up with any of the other Ombre and

 stripe colorways.
