Sample 2 Heirloom Shells Sampler Baby Blanket - Krissys Over The Mountain Crochet

Sample 2 of the Heirloom Shells Sampler Baby Blanket is just beautiful. I love this Diamond Shells Stitch, by Kim Guzman. I have used this stitch in the Diamond Shells Placemat, and the Diamond Shells Cup Cozy. The stitch has it’s own rhythm and is so much fun to crochet. The crochet pattern for Sample 1 of the Heirloom Shells Sampler Baby Blanket has been released. I hope you will come to the Krissy’s Over The Mountain Crochet & Crafts to see all of the beautiful beginnings! The blankets will be beautiful when finished.

Below is a video tutorial to help you along on this Sample. Please like and subscribe my youtube channel, as that will help me in bringing more content to you.

Important Note:

Each shell 2 st’s that are executed will be the right side of your work. This is important to understand, because in sample 4, all of the shell 4 st’s will be the right side of your work as well. I like to place a huge safety pin, or tie a big piece of yarn to the right side of my work. so that I can keep track of this. Sample 2 is the best place to do this.

This is a 4 row repeat.
