I love this pattern as it produces a beautifully lacy baby blanket. This Beautiful shells blanket by Lahoma Nally-Kaye crochets up quickly and super easy to follow. The shells are gorgeous and the pattern is really great because the holes are not overlarge. It grows really quickly and if you want to make it interesting and exciting you can use a different color for each row.
This beautiful and well-loved pattern has been shared and adapted by many over the years. In this version, I’ve used American English crochet terminology and structured the instructions into stitch “modules” to simplify the construction process. Once you get the hang of it, this pattern is both fun and easy to follow, working up quickly into a cozy, handmade gift—perfect for a baby or anyone who loves a soft, snuggly blanket! 😊
If you have a hard time uderstanding the pattern watch the video tutorials below. Kudos to Jonna Martinez to make it seem so simple!
Thank you to Lahoma Nally-Kaye for the written pattern, featured image and inspiration!

Thank you for sharing.
And it doesn’t have to be expensive, either….mine is crocheted with Dollar Tree yarn ($1.25 per 50g ball)

Almost ALL my yarn has come from the thrift stores I had to buy the odd bit to finish something ,I was blessed because I did healthcare & between the 2 senior buildings was a Salvation Army thrift store so when I had a minute or a break I was always in there & I brought home bags of yarn cheap,so 5 years ago I had to retire because of illness I am still stocked up, I have 6 plastic boxes full,so I have just really started to get back into knitting & crocheting ,& am enjoying seeing all these wonderful patterns & items you all make that I have never seen before thanks for the encouragement by seeing your lovely work.
