Köp produktHere's how to do it
The blanket is crocheted from short side to short side so you add the number of chain stitches corresponding to the length of the short side. You do not need change color every other row as in the picture, you can crochet the blanket in one color, you decide! If you crochet with different colors every second rows, you will get to attach a lot of yarn ends:) /Lizette
Row 1: Crochet a chain with as many chains as you wish. The number of chains shall be divisible by 6. For reference, the blanket in the picture is crocheted with 54 chain stitches. Once you have crocheted the number of chains you want on your short side, you will chain 2 more. If you are unsure how to make a slip knot or crochet chain stitches, see below videos.
Row 2: Start in the 2nd chain from your crochet hook. You skip the first stitch. If you had 54+2 (56) chains, you should crochet 55 single crochet, i.e. one fewer than the number of chains. Finish with chain 1 and turn your work. If you are unsure how to crochet a single crochet see below video.
Row 3: Let's start with the seashell pattern, see below video if you are unsure how to crochet this pattern.
Start in the 2nd stitch from the crochet hook and crochet 1 single crochet. Skip 2 stitches and crochet 5 double crochet into the stitch after that. Skip 2 chains and crochet 1 single crochet. Continue in the same way until you have 3 stitches left in the row. Skip the next 2 and crochet 1 single crochet in the last stitch. Chain 1 and turn. If you start with 1 single crochet, you end with 1 single crochet.
If you want to change the color, always do the last pull through of your last stitch with the new color. See below video if in doubt.
Row 4: Start in the 2nd stitch from the crochet hook and crochet 3 double crochet. Skip 2 stitches and crochet 1 single crochet after that, which is on top of the last rows seashells. Skip 2 stitches and crochet 5 double crochet, this is in the last row's single crochet. Continue in the same way until you have 3 stitches left in the row. Skip the next 2 and crochet 3 double crochet in the last stitch. Chain 1 and turn. If you start with 3 double crochets, you end with 3 double crochets.
From now on, crochet row 3 and row 4 until you are satisfied with the length. Note! You need to crochet the last row of the seashell pattern as row 3, so start with a single crochet and finish with a single crochet. When you are satisfied, go to the next step.
Finishing row on the seashell pattern
See below video (rewind to the end) to see how the finishing row row is crocheted.
When you are satisfied with the size of the blanket, crochet one last row so that the edge is straight. In the 2nd stitch, crochet 1 double crochet, then crochet 1 half double crochet in the next 2 stitches. Crochet a single crochet (on top of the seashell). Then crochet 2 half double crochet in the next 2 stitches, and then 1 double crochet in the “valley”. Continue. Chain 1 and turn. I crochet one last row on the blanket, see step 6.
Last row
Start with the 2nd stitch and crochet a slip stitch in each stitch. If you are not sure how to crochet slip stitches, see below video. Cut off and fasten the yarn. If you are not sure how to fasten the ends of the yarn, see below video.
Your blanket is done! Hope you like it :)
