Gorgeous blanket! I’m a 65 years young crochet “newbie” and you have me very enthused! You are a great 👩🏫 teacher. 👍🏻 I love hearing the sparrows tweet at the beginning of the video. You and I have something in common: we love pretty nails 💅🏼 . I get new nail art and colours every fortnight! I also have bright purple hair at the moment... not your usual grandma you could say! Guess I have better jump onto Amazon and get me some of that lovely yarn 🧶 to start this blanket. Best wishes from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🌹❣️
Love it Fran S! I'm sure you're an AMAZING grandma! You may be able to find some nice variegated yarn in New Zealand or from Australia next door a lot cheaper. Wishing you all the very best!
BonnieBayCrochet I do, but Red Heart seems to have better varigated yarns than I can find here. We work mainly in wool here too, merino or merino/possum mix being favourites for warmth and softness.
Hi Bonnie, I just finished making my second baby blanket using this pattern. A friend of mine will be a grandmother soon and I made this for her grandson. I used Caron Baby Cakes by Yarnspirations in the color Dreamy Sky. I am going to email you a picture of it. Thank you so much! Liz B (from Corning, NN)
Thank you so much for this step by step tutorial, Bonnie. I made this, my first blanket, for our first baby granddaughter. I entered it in the local country fair and it won the blue ribbon!
You are my favorite crochet teacher on all of utube. You are the best. You make all your tutorials easy & very clear. Thank you so much for teaching me different baby blankets
You are a good instructor. I'm really a quilter but started crocheting and Knitting a few years ago. I'm addicted. Your lesson was so easy to understand I'm going to try this next! Thank you . ♥️
I planned to make a baby's blanket. Saw your video. I never crocheted fancy stitches before..just your basic single and double crochet.... but your video inspired me. I fell in love with this scallop design. You showed every stitch in detail and I love this pattern. Easy crocheting and very relaxing.. Thank you so much......
Thank you Bonnie for your tutorial! I have made this baby blanket several times and I really enjoy this pattern. If I start crocheting at night when I'm watching TV, it's so easy that the next thing I know is I have crocheted myself to sleep. LOL. Thank you for sharing your talent. Such an easy pattern. God bless you!
This has become my go to blanket over the past year. I love the way the colors work up. It is an easy and fast pattern to bring crowd pleasing comments at baby showers. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
I’m totally getting it. I taught elementary school for 34 years. You are a great teacher ❣️😊. Please keep sharing. I have been watching a few others. They need to be sure we can get a good view. Discuss as you do helps. Going slower.helps. 😊 When turning I tend to need a little more understanding. 😍. Thanks!
I've been crocheting for a few months and have so far only managed the granny square blankets and then I ventured into giving them the shell border. I love the idea of an entire blanket using the shell stitch. I'm off to the wool shop next week for some variegated yarn. Can't wait to get started. Thank you for a fantastic tutorial, I didn't have to pause it once or rewind as it was explained so clearly and precisely.
I have a hard time learning because of dyslexia but I love the beauty of crochet and could actually follow your tutorial! I'm so excited because I'm going to be a first time grandmother and this is what I'll give that precious baby! Thank you.
This is actuslly my favorite stitch/pattern... I’m currently working on two preemie blankets, using DK weight yarn. One is being done in Lion Brand’s Baby Soft... Circus Print, and the other is in Lion Brand’s Ice Cream...Blueberry. They both look wonderful. This multiple of 6 plus 1 is a much easier pattern than the multiple of 6 plus 2... All you have to do is to keep repeating row 2..
My first blanket I ever made was a shell blanket, but I never had a pattern for it so sometimes I would forget what to do at the end and beginning of the rows. Thank you for giving such great instructions. I have already made a blanket and a hat for my new little great nephew who will be here soon.
Yes it is Cindy! That's why I decided to not add a border when I finished. I don't think it needs it, and without it is very approachable for the newest crocheters.
Bonnie, I was just on Facebook and read your post about your mother's death. I am so very sorry for your loss, Bonnie. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
Bonnie for many years I have tried to understand this stitch and for the first time I got it and understood the stitching and the pattern. Thank you so much for teaching this.
Thank you ! My mother in law showed me this stitch years ago, she made countless baby blankets and Afghans using this stitch, she was a mother of 12!, I married her youngest son David 28 years ago, she sadly passed away last year and she suffered from dementia for years, so I couldnt ask her to show me again 😥 I've made many many blankets, using sc, dc and tc stitches over the years, but I've always wanted to make a few Afghans for my children and grandchildren using this beautiful shell pattern! Thanks to you and you easy to follow tutorial! I'm ready! I ordered a bunch of red heart multi color yarn! I'm excited to get started! I'm practicing tonight on leftover yellow yarn, my afghans will be done in a multi skein of browns cream and tans ( cafe latte) 😊
Hi Bonnie I’ve been busy.....have just finished a cot blanket for my granddaughter in shades of pink, salmon, mauve & white. Increased the hook size to 5.5 and did 131 chain, resulting in a finished size of 90 x 120, so thrilled with the result, love this pattern and so easy to do
You are the absolute best crochet teacher. I made this with the camo yarn and gave as a gift. It was an absolute hit. Thank you so much. Easiest pattern ever.
This is a great video thank you so much. I started creating my own Stitch last night using the same thing only on the third row it became a big ruffle and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong now I can go back and it'll be beautiful like yours
I Love this Blanket. Really enjoyed doing it. You throughly explained each step... Very Relaxing project. Thankyou for your videos and I will return to learn more from you. Blessings❤
@@BonnieBayCrochet Bonnie, I Love this ine so much. Im sitting here going through this video AGAIN and I just chained my 109 stitches. I'm making it with the Ice Cream yarn , the Taffy Tire color. Thankyou again for making your instructions so followable,, lol
This is a beautiful blanket. I'm going to make it for my first great grandson & I'm really excited to do it. You are a very good teacher. My mom & grandma loved to crochet & they did some beautiful work. Thank you!!
I just subscribed! Hit the bell and gave this video a like! You are a good instructor, very easy to follow and your blanket came out beautiful, I love it. I've seen other UA-cam tutorials on this stitch and you explained it very well. 😊

I had tried to follow the printed instructions for a shell baby blanket, and it was so crooked. I gave it to my niece anyway, figuring it would keep the baby warm, but she never used it. I followed your instructions here, and now have crocheted my second baby blanket with absolutely straight edges. Thank you so much for your clear instructions. May the Lord bless you!
Marta French I had the same question and after trolling the comments below, I believe it’s 5 plus 4. I also saw a few that said in multiples of 6. But 5 plus 4 sounds about right.
@@carlam.9529 She didn't say multiples of 5; you're right. She said she counted her chain in 5's in case she was interrupted :) I'd like to know the multiples as well so I can make a larger blanket :)
That's fantastic. your brilliant with this ,everything was slow, the way I prefer ,as I'm a learner at crochet . Thanks a million, your a definite inspiration. xx💞xx
Thank you for your tutorial & sharing your talent. As you said looks complicated but you made it so easy to learn. I enjoyed watching you. It was clear and the camera angle was just right to see what you are doing . Not long conversation. All good , thank you. 🙏🏼🥰 God bless.
Thank you Tara! You can always adjust the speed of the video by clicking on the gear-shaped icon in the lower right corner of the video (3 vertical dots in upper right corner for cell phones), then selecting a slower playback speed. I hope this helps!
Crocheting again after many years of not doing any. I have been looking at many videos to try get visually prepared to begin a project. I want to tell you how much I appreciate your tutorials. You by far are the clearest instructor and easiest to follow I have found. You get right to the point and have your camera set up perfectly. I also appreciate you showing the finished product at the end. Thanks and keep up the good work,
I needed to refresh my memory since I made this a couple of years ago. So thank you so much. So much easier to watch then follow it in writing. It's so easy as I remember it. Coming out lovely
Thank you after watching many other vidios and not being able to do the stitch. I finally got it after watching you. Such a great teacher. Happy New year
This is the first blanket I learned to crochet, then told mom I was going to do all single crochet (boy did that blanket take a long time to make) I started it for me by the time I got it long enough for a single bed - my daughter claimed it for her bed so I did not get to use it, she had it long time. It's a great blanket for baby, a single, or a full size blaket I don't know the stitch multiple so I make chain long enough to go across bed then start crocheting if too many I just take chains out or cut chain but leave some for end
I was looking for a baby blanket pattern. I am a subscriber of yours so decided to take a look at your patterns, and I’m so glad I did! I normally don’t like the shell patterns for baby blankets, but I LOVE this pattern!! Your shells are so full and it’s a reversible pattern! I’ve decided on using this pattern, it’s beautiful, I just wish I had the self stripping yarn, I’m using a solid color. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us! ♥️
Hi Fig Newton! If you alternate the yarn at the end of every row, this will be even more stunning! You may be able to carry the yarn to avoid all the loose strands. I of have a border for this in a separate video should you have need.
I was looking for an easy baby blanket to make and I stumbled on your video I really like it and I will be making one for my granddaughter soon to come
Thank you Bonnie. I am new at crocheting. I'm going to give this ago. My Grandaughter is expecting her fourth bubs end of September. It's a boy. So blue will be the colour.
Congratulations on that wonderful new baby on the way! You may want to try using two contrasting colors (or more) or perhaps 2-3 shades of blue? Will give this design more interest for the baby to study and add joy in the crocheting process! Just a suggestion! 😊❤️
Hi Bonnie, I just finished making this blanket. We are expecting a grandson in October. I used Bernat Pop by Yarnspirations in the color Birch Bark and Blue. I am going to email a picture of it to you. I really loved this pattern . Thank you so much. Liz B (from Corning, NY)
Bonnie... I believe this pattern to be a multiple of 6+1...instead of the usual 6+2... I love it, because you end up simply repeating Row 2... The multiple of 6+2 has you repeating rows 2 & 3., and you are required to : crochet three dc’s...either at the beginning or at the end of the row (I forgot which). Call me stupid, but thus always confuses me, and that takes the pleasure out of the project. Thank you for teaching the easiest way to crochet acShell Stitch Blanket... I know that when I discovered this way, I was so happy...
I like to do a row of single crochet first. (It just makes for a sturdy base row) In light of that: if doing it that way, I found that a stitch multiple of 6+5 works. Beautiful pattern!! 😍
Hello Bonnie , Love your tutorials .and the bankets pretty .You a lovely lady .Bless you Bonniie ..i love the colours of the Yarn u useing .You know in south Africa i dont see so love colour yarn like you have its pretty .I love your patten its pretty .
Bonnie, just so your viewers know that your book, Cable Crochet Made Easy is a great book as you include the links to the videos to follow along. The links work ! This book is teaching me to read the patterns as I follow you crocheting. Thank you for this amazing book! I can’t believe the price is so affordable! God bless you!🙏🌷
Gorgeous blanket! I’m a 65 years young crochet “newbie” and you have me very enthused! You are a great 👩🏫 teacher. 👍🏻 I love hearing the sparrows tweet at the beginning of the video. You and I have something in common: we love pretty nails 💅🏼 . I get new nail art and colours every fortnight! I also have bright purple hair at the moment... not your usual grandma you could say!
Guess I have better jump onto Amazon and get me some of that lovely yarn 🧶 to start this blanket. Best wishes from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🌹❣️

I love this and I love the calm way you described this. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!!

I love this pattern! If I would like to make this 45" wide, how many chains should I make?
Count number from single crochet to single crochet ant add enough of these repeat stitches to 45 inch
I’m new relearning how to crochet. I’ve made 5 scarves so far. This looks fun and easy! I’m going to try it!! 😊
How many shells are in the first row?
You would add in multiple of 6
Get a tape measure and measure to 45", then count your stitches.
This is my go-to stitch for baby blankets. This is beautiful!

Congratulations on that wonderful new baby on the way! You may want to try using two contrasting colors (or more) or perhaps 2-3 shades of blue? Will give this design more interest for the baby to study and add joy in the crocheting process! Just a suggestion! 😊❤️
Great blanket for my little baby granddaughter thanks for the pattern
DBD Kilambi congratulations!❤️❤️❤️
Hi Bonnie, I just finished making this blanket. We are expecting a grandson in October. I used Bernat Pop by Yarnspirations in the color Birch Bark and Blue. I am going to email a picture of it to you. I really loved this pattern . Thank you so much. Liz B (from Corning, NY)
Thank you Liz! I so appreciate that! On a side note, I visited Corning in 2021 and even toured the museum there. Great time with hubby.
@@BonnieBayCrochet oh so glad you visited Corning, NY. It is a wonderful city :))
Hello Bonnie thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials you make it so easy to follow 😊 you are always my go to fir any project.
Wow. Thank you Bonnie. This is gorgeous
Bonnie... I believe this pattern to be a multiple of 6+1...instead of the usual 6+2... I love it, because you end up simply repeating Row 2... The multiple of 6+2 has you repeating rows 2 & 3., and you are required to : crochet three dc’s...either at the beginning or at the end of the row (I forgot which). Call me stupid, but thus always confuses me, and that takes the pleasure out of the project.
Thank you for teaching the easiest way to crochet acShell Stitch Blanket... I know that when I discovered this way, I was so happy...
Thank you for all the great tutorials!
Thank you for this amazing pattern blessings!
My pleasure Valette!❤️

Lori Wulf congratulations to you on your great grandson! You are a very blessed lady!❤️❤️❤️
You are my favorite teacher
Awww...thank you! You made my day!
I have learned so much from ur videos
That makes this teacher very happy Jennifer!
I like to do a row of single crochet first. (It just makes for a sturdy base row) In light of that: if doing it that way, I found that a stitch multiple of 6+5 works.
Beautiful pattern!! 😍
I do love the way this yarn works up! I love your pattern and this yarn is perfect for it!
