I love your channel! This pattern is so beautiful and never dreamed it could be so easy. It is so refreshing that you share your faith in non aggressive ways. Thanks again and God bless!🎉
Hi Bonnie, Working on a shell stitch blanket.Just wanted to say Thank you ,that you gave me the confidence to keep trying and never give up! Hope you and your family have a blessed EASTER and stay safe.
I love that with all your blanket tutorials you always , most of the time do a boarder and you make the boarder so easy to do as far as the placement of the stitches you have basically taken the guess work out of it for us ! Thank you ! I have a love hate relationship with boarders , no matter how hard I try and how careful I am when I do a boarder my blanket is always wonky and my OCD goes into high gear ... so much appreciated that you take the time to do this
@@BonnieBayCrochet hi...i am trying to do your border on my blanket. After the corner doing 8 dc my stitches don't line up like yours. The 5 dc don't line up with original 5 dc. Cindur62@aol.com
@@cindydurham9559 You can always skip a stitch (more or fewer) here or there as you approach the corner so you can manipulate the corner as you wish. No one will ever notice if you meet this out carefully (spread out over the 4 or 5 shells) as you get near the corner.
Thank you so much for uploading such amazing tutorials.I am an absolute beginner and was always a bit scared to crochet.However after watching your baby Bonnie blanket tutorial and this border,I thought I'll give it a try.I just hope I am able to crochet this lovely blanket. I am quite good at knitting but it's my first time trying to crochet.You have explained and demonstrated this really well, that's the only reason,it looks easy and I hope I can do it.😊👍👌❤
That’s great Candy! Just allow yourself some room to make mistakes while riding that learning curve. The good news is that if you do make mistakes, they are much easier to pull out and redo than they are in knitting. Once the muscle memory kicks in, I hope you enjoy this as much as knitting!😊❤️
Hi Bonnie I love your channel .Thank you so much for your easy to follow vedios . IAM a visiule learner and always wanted to learn crochet ,but had trouble doing so. Your channel has helped me to make my very first grandbaby a beautiful baby blanket from her grams . Thank you for all your efforts in sharing your gift with others.. sincerely A gratefull grandma who got to make a keepsake for her new grandaughter.
Bonnie, thanks so much, you have some great videos and the way you explain the stitches with the video is very helpful!!! I have 2 baby blankets to make and your video of the shell stitch has helped me to remember how I made my baby blankets way too many years ago when my kids were little.
That blanket is soooo pretty. My stitches just aren’t as pretty as yours. I’m wondering how I can get better. I’ve just got to make a blanket like that one. Awesome!
Big Red Barn Homestead your stitches will look wonderful in time. Once your muscle memory becomes set they should look even. Check out my video on the yarn hold on this channel if you think that could be an issue with your stitches, but above all enjoy the learning process!😊
Can a single crochet or border of any kind be added to an arcade stitch baby blanket please provide name and instructions for such border Thanks for the help
Loved making this blanket! I’m debating on whether or not I should continue using the variegated yarn(for the border) or if I should use one single color from the skein that I used??
You can adjust the number of stitches in between the shells leading up to this join. Just be sure to try to match the number of shells to the opposite side of the blanket.
Hi bonnie I will be at my first craft show in February.I wanted to know what I should crochet and how much to price my items.thank you nancy from wasaga beach,Ontario,canada
Sorry I didn't answer sooner Nancy. Not sure why this message didn't appear in my messaging feed. Not sure about pricing your items, but I will say that I find crocheters price their work too low. You may be able to look at similar items on Etsy and see what the going rate is for them, although folks price low there as well. There is always a tension between what an item is truly worth and how much people are willing to pay. I do wish you all the best. Should you need a quick answer from me in the future, feel free to contact me at bonniebay@me.com.
Hi My name is Rita n I was wondering how do I do the shell border more than one? Do I just continue doing the same thing until I get to the border size I want? Thanks Need the information ASAP, as I as almost done with the blanket 😊
I only worked one round, but I suppose you can make addy rounds if you prefer. You can work the additional shells into the single crochets of the previous round.
Hi Bonnie I do have one more question. At the corner of each one which is the 4 corner how would I do it so I can continue going around more than 1 times,? Thanks Rita 😊 ASAP if u can , I am working on the border right now, for my great granddaughter n that the last thing I have to do
@@65angel You can work another new shell in the center stitch of the corner shell if you wish. Sorry for the delay in responding. I don't work on Sundays.
I’m really sorry but I can’t find the link for the border pattern. I found the pattern for the blanket. This is the second time I’m making the blanket. I love this blanket and yarn. I’ve ordered more yarn and it’s being delivered today. Thank you so much. I love your videos.
The Shell Border is only available as a video since it was added on as an option a couple of years after the shell blanket was published. @@susanwilson8236
Not sure I understand your question Denise. You may not have to work along the last row worked since it is already a shell. I only work this along the remaining sides of the Shell Stitch Baby Blanket.
Here's a baby blanket using this design: ua-cam.com/video/eW7yea8lQGw/v-deo.html. You can add multiples of 6 to the original starting chain make it wider.
So frustrated. Went to do the shell trim and screwed up and its like a ruffle. I also cut to short of a yard in a few places and its unraveling. Hellllpppp!
@@BonnieBayCrochet so rip it all back out? What about part of the yarn I cut to close that is now unraveling? I tied some yarn in it to try and make it stay ok but I like perfection.
@@cathyprusinski2420 It's really up to you. Hard for me to say without looking at it. If it is only the last round, it may be worth the time to get it right, especially if you like perfection. I've got a parody song for you that I wrote for all of us who know ripping out well: ua-cam.com/video/TzaJtlpVJjc/v-deo.html
I don't understand. You only gave instructions for 3 sides and not the top. My border is a solid color so I can't just have 3 sides done. I guess I'll just figure it out.
If working this around a blanket that is not a shell stitch, work the ends across the rows (not row ends) the same as the section worked across the bottom of this blanket. You can also check out row 1 of this shell stitch baby blanket for a stitch by stitch demonstration: ua-cam.com/video/eW7yea8lQGw/v-deo.html

My pleasure Dawn! I try not to assume anything especially when presenting beginning tutorials.
I'm the same way so I appreciate a border to hide my multitude of sins!
Bonnie, thank you for your wonderful lighting and super closeup shots. We can see the stitches perfectly.
Great Ann! That was one of my goals!

Can a single crochet or border of any kind be added to an arcade stitch baby blanket please provide name and instructions for such border Thanks for the help
Thanks for sharing really sets the blanket off
Beautiful
👩🌾Thanks a lot for this easy bordering well and exactly explained🐿️Very nice yarn🍭

What would you do if you ended with the shell instead of the half? On that beginning corner
You can adjust the number of stitches in between the shells leading up to this join. Just be sure to try to match the number of shells to the opposite side of the blanket.
Hi Bonnie , I think this is such a pretty blanket. The edging sets it off. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
How many yarns should I buy?for this beautiful blanket and can it be.for a girl?
This is the yarn requirement for this design Aynalem: 5 skeins of Red Heart's Stripes (100% acrylic, 236 yds/215 m, 5 oz/141 g) in "Retro Stripe"

If the trim looks like a ruffle, the stitches are too close together. Try spreading out the shells a bit more or use fewer stitches in the shells.
