This tutorial uses two yarns at once, so it takes half the time!
This tutorial uses two yarns at once, so it takes half the time!
Step 1 // Start by tying your two yarn colors together.
Step 2 // Make a slipknot past the tie.
Step 3 // Chain 51, or any number divisible by 3. This will be the width of the blanket.
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.
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.
Step 6 // Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you've reached 51 rows. Tie off.
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.]
