Instructions
Start with any yarn of choice. Use the recommended hook size on the yarn packaging.
Row 1:
Slip knot
Chain a multiple of 3 and then add 2. So I chained 81(81/3=27) and added 2 for a total of 83.
Row 2:
Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from hook.
Chain 3, skip 2 foundation chains and sc in the 3rd chain along the foundation and repeat to the end. Be sure you are able to sc in the final foundation chain.
Row 3:
Chain 3 (counts as dc), turn work and double crochet (dc) in the first sc stitch.
sc in ch 3 space, 3dc in next sc and repeat. Insert 2dc in last sc.
Row 4:
ch 1, turn work, sc in first stitch
ch 3, skip 3 stitches and sc, ch 3 and repeat (the sc will be in the center stitch of the shell)
sc in the top of the turning chain to finish this row.
Alternate Row 3 and 4 for the remainder of the blanket.
What I did
The yarn I used was Red Heart Soft Essentials in the color Linen. This blanket used 4 skeins, but it was a smaller sample/baby size, so you will likely want more π The multiples are written out for you to make it larger, I would guess 8-10 skeins for a good size throw.
