Springtime Soft Shells Crochet Blanket Pattern

"This new springtime soft shells crochet blanket pattern will be a treasured heirloom for years to come. Use two versions of the v stitch to achieve a beautiful look and feel. This pattern is a four-row repeat to create the luxurious crochet pattern. Each row is starts with a Chainless starting stitch. For instance, use the Chainless Double Crochet rather than a Chain 3. Use the Chainless Single Crochet rather than a Chain 1. The foundational row uses the No Chain Double Crochet rather than a chain of stitches and row of double crochet. For your convenience, there is a video on the No Chain Double Crochet Stitch. Use Stitch Markers after each four row repeat. This will help be able to tell what row pattern you are on when you pick your work back up."

Crochet GaugeThe blanket is worked in multiples of 5 + 7. Therefore, if you would like the blanket wider or narrower, make sure that the foundational row of stitches is divisible by 5. Then add 7. For instance, this blanket is 195 + 7 stitches, which equals 202 stitches. Adjust the length by just stopping on after any one of the four row repeats.

Finished SizeThe overall size of the blanket is 50 inches wide X 64 inches long.
