Shell Stitch Baby Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern

I’m so excited to finally be able share this pattern with you! It’s been a draft for way too long. So as you may know, my cousin (who happens to live in Canada) just had a bouncing baby boy! Of course, being the crocheter and all, I decided to make her a baby blanket. I pretty much make one for every friend/family member that announces their upcoming bundle of joy so I had to continue the tradition. I used the opportunity to test a pattern for a simple but elegant shell stitch baby blanket. I hope you enjoy the pattern!

    Hi Amy, I love this blanket. I am planning on making it for a baby that is due to be born in summer time so am looking to use a lighter yarn, most likely DK baby yarn. I would still like the blanket to work out around the same size. How would I adjust the pattern? TIA

    • Amy Ramnarine says

      Hi Katie! You will have to chain a larger multiple of 6 and add 1 for the foundation chain. I haven’t worked a swatch for this blanket in DK yarn so I wouldn’t be able to give you exact sizing info. I would suggest chaining until you reach the desired length.

    Can this pattern be used with very fine baby yarn, weight 1 or2? Would I have to modify it in any way?
    Thanks!

    • Amy Ramnarine says

      April 4, 2020 at 4:45 PM

      Hi Pam! You can make it with a finer yarn but if you make it exactly as the pattern calls for, it will be much smaller. I suggest chaining a larger multiple of 6 and add 1 for the foundation chain until you reach a length that meets your needs.

    I am interested in making this bigger than 35″ x 35″. How do I add to the chain to make this bigger? Some patterns are multiples of # plus #. I want to go up to approximately 75″ x 85″

      Hi Linda! The pattern multiple for this pattern is 6+1. You would need a starting chain of 289 and you would need to crochet approximately 170 rows to achieve the size you want 🙂

    I am having some trouble with the edging/border on the the bottom/foundation row of the blanket. It is way too loose and has made the blanket look longer on the bottom. Any tips? The blanket was perfectly symmetrical and even before I added the edging and now it doesn’t look right. My son will be born within the week and I’m trying to have it finished before then!

      Hi Shanna! Sorry for the late reply. You can leave the edging off if you find it is not working out and just simply add a sc border around.

      Hi Debbie! I would use whatever hook the yarn label calls for. Please note that the blanket size will not be the same as the pattern since the lighter yarn will make it smaller.

    I wanted to make the gauge first. I don’t normally. I crocheted 16 sc for 10 rows and I didn’t come close to a 4 inch square. I don’t think a bigger hook would make up the drastic difference. Is 16 sc for 10 rows correct for a 4 inch square gauge?

    Reply
    • Amy Ramnarine says

      February 6, 2017 at 10:42 AM

      Hi Tiffany! The gauge is worked in the pattern stitch, not sc. If you work the swatch according to the pattern then you will see the gauge is different. You can also try working a swatch in dc. It will be closer to the correct gauge.

    I have LOVED working with this stitch! It just so happens that I found that it works up beautifully using Caron’s Simply Soft yarn. There’s a slight sheen to it that’s so attractive, plus it’s still soft for a baby blanket. I couldn’t help but blog about it! Check out the colors I chose and how I found this pattern on my blog!

    I made this blanket for my new great-nephew. It turned out perfect! It is puffy and therefore very cushioning. Great for laying the baby on the floor to play with him. I love that it doesn’t have all the holes that snag little toes and fingers. Thank you so much for this absolutely simple, yet gorgeous pattern.

      Hi Adrienna, unfortunately Lion Brand has discontinued several colors of this yarn, including the white that I used for this blanket. A great alternative would be Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice or Hobby Lobby I Love this Cotton or I Love this yarn. I am not sure if you will find the exact colors but there are a great selection of colors for the brands that I mentioned.

    When you even out the top row with the instructions you gave, you do that before you fasten off and start the trim correct? Also, what colors did you do the trim and then the shell edging in? My blanket is white, yellow, and gray and I’m not sure what would look best.

    • Amy Ramnarine says

      February 3, 2016 at 11:15 AM

      Hi Laurel! Yes you would even out the top before starting the edging so you have a nice straight edge to start with. I used Seaspray (turquoise) for my trim and then Snow (white) for the edging. I think yours would look really nice with a yellow trim and white edging 🙂

    Hello,
    I have a quick question about this. The bottom (foundation row) of my blanket is straight, while the finished edge is a scallop. Is there a way to even it off into a perfect edge before creating the scalloped edging or did I mess up because one side is straight?

    Reply

      January 28, 2016 at 7:40 PM

      Hi Rae! To even out the top row of shells: Sc in the first 2 dcs of the 5 dc cluster. Sl st into each of the next 2 dcs, sc into the last dc of the cluster and into the sc from previous row. Repeat across. This should make the top row straighten out. Hope that helps!

    Hi Amy,
    Bought this pattern through Caftsy and followed the link here. Am making this for a new mom at work. I am looking forward to a quite weekend to explore your blog. It’s already in my favorites list. Question: How do you increase to make this larger, say for an adult. I don’t understand “I have the stich pattern multiple listed in the pattern”. Could you be more specific please? Thanks

    Reply
    • Amy Ramnarine says

      January 17, 2016 at 8:24 PM

      Hi Rie! Glad you found my blog! For a larger blanket, you will chain a larger multiple of 6 (ex:180) and then add 1 chain (ex: a total of 181). I am working on getting the starting chain for other sizes but for right now, you can chain and measure until you reach your desired length. I hope that helps! Thank you again for stopping by my blog 🙂

      Hi Cindi! Sorry for the late reply. What I normally do is chain a larger multiple of 6+1 and measure as I go along. I did a few calculations using my gauge and I think if you are using the same yarn, a starting chain of 193 might work. I would just measure to make sure you’re on track 🙂

    COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TO DO A HDC STITCH?? OR IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I COULD SEE STEP BY STEP ON A VIDEO HOW TO MAKE THIS SHELL BABY BLANKET. IT’S JUST EASIER FOR ME TO SEE AND DO THAN READ AND DO. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP IN MAKING THIS. WOULD LOVE TO LEARN HOW. EVERYTHING I MAKE IS WITH DCS OR SC. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP.

    • Amy Ramnarine says

      July 8, 2015 at 7:41 PM

      Hi May! The DK yarn will be a little lighter and using a smaller hook will make the blanket significantly smaller. Just check your gauge before you start. You will most likely have to increase the number of foundation chains to get the same size. 🙂

    I have started this and at the end of row two. Plaease help me here. The tch is the last of the ch3 before the 2dc at the beginning of that row,, sooo. If I have chained three then turned, how can I then still get to that sc? Don’t I need to just sc into the 3 rd doc of the first shell. I know this important to get right because the afghan will not ever come out straight on the sides. I just fI ished a loopy love baby afghan and never got it right, so it is wonky, but they will still love it. This one is for a favorite niece having her little girl next month. A,so, the baby yarn I chose does not say worsted any where, and I chose a variegated and two solids, it is .5 oz. The variegated is a smaller skein and more expensive so I bought two and o e of the others each 463 yards. The mathe makes me dizzy, but I want it to be almost crib size. Not sure if there will, be enough. Planning to trim it in the variegated.

      April 22, 2015 at 5:05 PM

      Hi Lorinda! I see that you already got the answer to your question. Did you sc in the top of the ch-3 of the previous row? That’s the turning chain (t-ch). Also, with the baby yarn, it’s most likely a category 1 super fine yarn whereas a worsted is a 4, medium weight yarn. If you are using a lighter yarn, you will most likely need more yarn and if you are following the same stitch count, it will turn out smaller.

      Hi Stacy! Start with your first color, chain, work Row 1, Row 2, and Row 3(repeat of Row 2). Then at the end of Row 3, change to your next color and repeat Row 2 for 3 more rows. Continue working 3 rows of each color, repeating Row 2 for the rest of the pattern. Does that make sense?

    I noticed you used a cotton-acrylic blend, but do you think it would still look good using a 100% acrylic yarn? Or do you think it would be too fuzzy, rather than crisp looking? Just wondering if it would be worth the extra money to use the cotton-acrylic blend.

      Hi Emily! I think depending on what kind of acrylic yarn you use, it should be just fine. I personally like the blend because it’s soft and not fuzzy which is great for babies. However, there are some great acrylic yarns on the market that are not as fuzzy as others. I hope that helps!

      Hi Sarah! If you multiply 6×22, you get 132 then add 1. So to make a larger blanket, for example, you would chain 6×40=240 + 1 which will give you 241. I hope that makes sense!

      Hi Chelsea! Normally when I make this blanket larger, I just increase the chain according the the multiple listed in the pattern and measure as I go along. As for the amount of yarn, what I would do is work up a gauge swatch so you can get an idea of how big the project will be and calculate the yarn according to the yardage listed. Cotton-ease is 207 yds per skein. Hope that helps! 🙂

    I am making this blanket and I think I messed up on the amount of yarn. I bought 6 skeins of Lion Brand Baby Soft 4oz. The pattern didn’t say how many ounces you needed just how many yards. So on the skein it had th amount of yards and I went by that. To get 1860-1862 yards you needed to purchace 6 skeins. My problem is that according to you you crocheted about 69 rows. I am at 71 rows and I have only used 2 1/2 skeins. Can you tell me what I did wrong in figuring how much yarn to use? I also used the same size crochet hook it called for. I have to measure it but I am pretty sure it is over 35*35″. I love this pattern and I used circus print verigated yarn and it is absolutely beautiful! Please let me know what mistake I made so I can figure out how to buy yarn properly next time. This was my first time figuring out the amount and following a pattern. I have always had some one show me how to do a pattern and tell me how much to buy. Hope to hear from you soon.

      Hi Debbie, you should always check the gauge before buying yarn for a project. Since some people crochet tighter or looser than others, the end result will not always be the same. If you make a gauge swatch, it can help you determine if you are right on track or if you need to go up or down a hook size. Checking your gauge is very important for any project, so that you don’t waste time and yarn. I hope that helps!

    Hi – just happened to come across your website when looking online for crochet baby blanket patterns – i already belong to crafty for painting – i love the shell pattern for a baby blanket – do you use regular weight yarn or the baby yarn – i want to use the baby weight as it tends to make a softer blanket and not so heavy – my oldest granddaughter is expecting her first baby in december and i have another granddaughter expecting her first baby in april – the one due in december knows she is having a boy – also want to teach an adopted granddaughter how to crochet – her sister just had a little girl in june so figure its not too late to make a blanket for her – one year when i was still working i made 13 crocheted baby blankets – not only for my daughter but for friends at work – since then have not done any crocheting until now when 2 granddaughters are expecting.

      Hi Jan! Welcome to my site! For this blanket, I use an aran yarn. If you use baby yarn, since it’s thinner and less bulky, the dimensions will not be the same. Make sure to check the gauge and use the multiples if you need to make it larger. Happy Crocheting!

    Amy, sorry if this is a repeat, i dont think my first one posted. I am just a little higher than a beginner, working on my intermediate. I have a question on row 2. This is how I read it…After you chain 3, do 2 double crochets in the single crochet you did in the previous row. then skip 2 double crochets (regardless if there are other stitches involved, just skip the loops of the double crochets) then do a single crochet in the next stitch. skip 2 double crochet stitches again then do 5 double crochets in the single crochet from the previous row. ………………….repeat……..is this right? I’d love a video

      Hi Marcia, unfortunately I do not have the capability to make a video at this time. It sounds to me that you have an understanding of the pattern. I am working up a photo tutorial for a sample of this blanket which will be posted next week.

    Hi Amy~ Thank you so very much for this beautiful baby patter. I will start this tomorrow after we return home. This will be such a nice gift for the couple’s new addition… I will be making my blanket in purple & pink from your pattern for this baby… she’s going on 5 months so not exactly a newborn so I hope this pattern will hold her for a while.
    Also, I would like to know if you have a chevron crib size pattern you would be willing to share. I have a request from someone for this but I can not for the life of me figure sizing out right nor the multiples or pattern…. crazy isn’t it after I just made a king size team blanket & it even recently (July 24th, 2014) took 1st place in our county fair.
    Amy, thank you so much for this pattern & your time & all efforts into making The Stitchin Mommy a better place for us all.
    May God Bless You.
    Sincerely, Kim

      Hi Kim!

      Thank you so much for your amazingly kind words! What size were you thinking exactly? Like 50″x 50″ square or more of a large rectangle? I have a granny ripple and a regular ripple that both be really great. Let me know what you think!

        Hello Amy,

        Thank you so much for such a prompt response, your time & help. I very much appreciate all you are doing to work with me so I can get this down. 🙂

        I am looking how to make a couple crib blankets in the ripple so I’m thinking more like 30″ x 40″-50″……. I am trying to make this shell right now but have had to rip it out a few times.. this is such a pretty stitch pattern for a baby girl… As I said a moment ago, I have a baby boy to make a crib blanket for too. I saw a Lego pattern somewhere & Thought that would be really cute… what types of patterns do you have for baby boys? So far I know how to do a adult ripple but looking for a baby ripple with increments of 5 & now learning this shell…. I tried a bobble stitch with straight rows but that was a nightmare because the blanket was so uneven.. so I got discouraged & ripped that one all the way out… I would love to send you a picture of this when I get it done if my phone quits malfunctioning through the computer so I can upload pictures from the phone.. I would send it form my Coolpix but that lens is stuck too so that is out of commission for a while.

        Oh, I almost forgot to ask you; I have noticed that with this shell stitch, there is 1 single piece of yarn that holds the shell on the 1st row together… when at the point of crocheting around blanket, how can I get in there to catch that 1 piece of yarn in each shell to reinforce that piece of yarn?

        Amy, thank you for your time & help.

        Have a blessed evening.
        Sincerely,
        Kim

          Hi Kim. So sorry for such a late response. Life gets the better of me sometimes. I don’t have any boy-specific patterns. I really do want to start creating some though. As for the shell blanket, once you add the edging, you can reinforce the shell. I hope that helps!

      Hi Salim! I actually just hdc around evenly and it seems to even out the top. I just make sure not to hdc in each stitch at the top. I space them out enough to try to make it look straight. I hope that makes a little sense!

      Hi KimberlyRae! If you click the green circle with the printer icon at the top of the post, you can print or pdf the pattern. Also, I think it would work if you double up the DK yarn. It should be a sufficient weight to make the blanket to size.

        Thank you, Amy, for the Shell Stitch Baby Blanket pattern. I went to the green circle and did the PDF download. On the bottom of the second page where the trim starts ~~ the first row of the trim is written half on the bottom of the second page and half on the top of the third page ~~ makes reading the directions for this row very difficult.

        I think the pattern is lovely and have placed it on my to-do list. I think I’ll make it a little larger though than a baby’s blanket for the back of my love seat. Again, thanks so much for your efforts in providing a lovely shell blanket for us.

    Hi Amy. First I just want to thank you for this beautiful blanket pattern. I am making this for a friend due in about 6 weeks. I thinks I started making it with a different pattern version. It had three rows and you had to keep doing row 2 and 3 until end. With that one of my sides keep getting larger somehow, so i ripped it all out and tried again. still not sure I am doing it right. I came back on just to see if there were any comments about this and noticed the pattern has changed. How can I know if this is newest version? I came back in through my Pinterest link? Thank you for your help. This is what is on the page right now. Is this the newest update? Thank you.

    With first color, Ch 133.
    Row 1: 2 dc in 4th ch from hook. *Skip 2 chs, 1 sc, sk 2 chs, 5 dc in next ch* Repeat * until you have 3 chs left. Sk 2 chs, sc in last ch. (Now you have an option to change colors or do what I did and crochet 3 rows with the first color before switching to next color).
    Row 2: Ch 3, turn. 2 dc in the same st. *sk 2 dc, sc in next st, sk 2 dc, 5 dc into sc from previous row* Repeat * until the end of the row. Sc in the turning ch of the previous row.

    Repeat row 2 until you have the desired length for your blanket (I crocheted a total of 69 rows, alternating colors)

The version that you currently see on the blog is the correct one. You should not have any more issues with it as I have tested it several times to ensure that the pattern you see now is the correct one. If you do however run into anymore issues.

    Hello. I’m teaching myself crochet and I’m giving this pattern a try. I’m running into an issue at the end of the first row, moving onto the second. I ended the first row with the 5 dc and had three chains remaining. The first step for the second row says to skip 2 dc and sc into the next stitch. Does that mean row 1 should end with 2 dc step instead of the 5dc step?

    Hope that question makes sense!

      Hi Renee! I have made a lot of updates to this pattern. Are you looking at the recent version? Since you have 5dc and 3 chs left, you should sk 2 chs and sc in the last ch. Then you can proceed to Row 2. Hope that helps!

    Reply
    • Amy Ramnarine says

      May 15, 2014 at 9:53 AM

      Hi Andrea! There’s no specific way to fasten this off. If you’re going to do the hdc trim in a different color, then you would just cut the yarn and pull through your last stitch and join your new color in any stitch and hdc evenly around. If you’re going to do a hdc trim around the blanket in the same color, then don’t fasten off. Just ch 2 and hdc evenly around the blanket. I hope that answers your question! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me again 🙂

      Thank you Susan! I’m sorry if the trim instructions aren’t clear. I did a half double crochet trim around the entire blanket before doing the mini shell edging. Since you’re just doing a round of hdc’s around the entire blanket, you can join the color with a slip stitch into any stitch and crochet around until you come back to the original stitch. Unfortunately I do not have any other pictures. I gave the blanket away as a gift some time ago. I hope that I was able to help a bit. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions!

I followed your pattern in step 2, but keep ending up with 7 chains at the end instead of 6 like the pattern says. Am I doing something wrong? I just want to be sure I’m getting the pattern correct before chaining 133 and doing a whole first row incorrect. Thanks for your help!

    Hello,

    I found your lovely blanket through Google. I hope you don’t mind me asking a question. I haven’t been crocheting very long and I would like to use this pattern, however I would like to use baby weight yarn (3) is there anything different I would have to do to this pattern to get the same results or just follow the patteren but use the suggested hook size for the yarn I have?

    Thank you,
    Heather M.

    Reply
    • Amy R. says

      March 13, 2014 at 11:54 AM

      Hi Heather! Since baby weight yarn is lighter than worsted weight or aran, your blanket will come out smaller than what the pattern describes. If you follow the pattern as is with the hook suggested for your yarn, your blanket will turn out smaller. To get the desired size, you will have to chain a longer chain. The pattern has the multiples to make a larger blanket. I hope that helps!

      Hi Jennifer! To make a larger blanket, make a longer chain in multiples of 3.

    This is a lovely pattern. I think I saw something similar described as the "Breaking Bad" afghan. I love crochet and am currently teaching myself Tunisian crochet. I've pinned this and will make soon.
