Thank you so much. My late mom used to crochet bibs for new babies in the family and no one else was doing it after she passed so this helped me connect to the things she did without being too complicated and I have just sent one off to Guernsey for my little niece - all the way from South Africa. Thanks!

[@jototheworldcreations]

I'm very sorry to hear about your mom's passing. That's wonderful you've found a way to connect to the things she did. Thank you for sharing!

[@juliegold413]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial! I just completed my first baby blanket for a friend’s daughter. Your video was so easy to follow and I appreciate how you slow down to show the exact stitches to crochet into. So helpful!

[@jototheworldcreations]

That's wonderful! I'm really happy to hear you found it helpful. Thank you for your comment!

[@DacesWithWerewolves8]

THIS WAS SUCH AN AMAZING PATTERN AND TUTORIAL! I USED IT TO MAKE MY FRIEND A BLANKEY FOR HER FIRST BABY THAT SHE IS EXPECTING IN DECEMBER! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A PART OF MAKING SUCH A MEMORABLE GIFT FOR HER AND HER BABY GIRL!

[@jototheworldcreations]

That's wonderful! I'm so happy to hear you like the pattern and the tutorial. Congratulations on your friend's first baby! This will be such a special blanket for her and her baby girl. Thank you for your comment!

[@vanessarodriguez7480]

This is so beautiful. 😍 How many starting chains did you do in this example? I’m a major beginner and just want to practice to build up confidence before starting a full blanket.

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you! I forget the exact number of chains in this example but you can make a small swatch by making any number of starting chains in multiples of 6 + 2, which means to take any number that you can divide by 6 and then add 2 to that number (i.e. 18 + 2 = 20 starting chains required or 24 + 2 = 26 starting chains required). You could make a swatch with 20 starting chains or if you want your swatch to be a little bigger you could make a swatch with 26 starting chains. Hope this helps!

[@kittie4201x]

I appreciate this! I made my grabdaughter this pattern. Its beautiful. And was my first blanket.

[@jototheworldcreations]

That's wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks for your comment!

[@ClaireMerenda]

This is lovely! I can’t wait to start. If I wanted to make the border a different color, when would you recommend I change the color? Before the rows of sc or before the final shell border?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello and thank you! It's a personal preference but I "think" (and I haven't done this so it's just a guess) if I were to make the border with a different color, I would try the entire border in a different color so change colors after your last stitch of the blanket body and start Border Round 1 with a different color. But you can always experiment and if you don't like it, you can make the border with the same color as the body for Border Rounds 1 - 5 and then try using a different color for just the final round of the border. I'd love to know how it goes!

Thanks so much u are a wonderful teacher. I just finished the shell baby blanket for my grand dauther. It turned out si nice.

Thank you for the pattern. Looks beautiful. Can you please let me know will this pattern look good with multiple colours as well?

Hello and thank you! You are welcome to try making it with multiple colors. I've only made it with the one color.

This is a really good pattern. Not a lot of fussing with the stitches and works up fast. It will be a new favorite. Thank you 😊

@@jototheworldcreations I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I really enjoy your patterns. Currently finishing up the Rainbow Blanket (with the colors I had available) and I would like to make the Bobble Blanket, and I’ll be adding this shell blanket to my To Do list 😉 Lots of blankets to make, not enough time.

Just finished this pattern for a baby blanket in jasmine, mint green and light pink. I do like the look of having a shelf in each corner. Pic to come when the ends are weaved in.

Hope you enjoyed making it

[@RachelSharp-lm3yx]

Good idea to make swatches to decide what pattern you prefer. 26:39

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy making it!

[@susankrempasky2916]

I am planning on making a baby blanket for a friend of my son’s. I have been making swatches of many different types of blankets. Today I took them for mom to be to pick one and she immediately chose this one. Yarn is ordered and I will begin when it arrives. Thank you for the great pattern and I hope the blanket turns out as nice as the swatch. The border really finishes it!

[@jototheworldcreations]

That's wonderful! Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing how it turns out! Happy crocheting :)

Nice pattern. Thank you. 😊

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy making it. 💕

[@johannadavis6977]

Would making this in a lighter yarn with a thinner hook work if I just increase the amount of rows etc? I love the pattern but the yarn I want to use calls for a 3.5 mm hook 🤔

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! When a yarn has a hook size listed on the label, it is just a suggestion and does not always match with the hook size recommended for a pattern. You can absolutely use a different hook size than what is listed on the label. Just ensure that the yarn weight you are using is the same that is listed in this pattern :)

[@johannadavis6977]

@ Thank you! After looking at a few conversion charts I think I’ve figured out that the yarn I have is weight 2, so a bit lighter than the pattern calls for unfortunately

[@jototheworldcreations]

Ah I see! You are of course welcome to try different yarn weights as well as hook sizes but the overall look, feel and size of the blanket as well as the amount of yarn required may be different. :)

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

Awesome 👍🏾 thank you ☺️

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy making it!

[@mamasinmotion]

I’m new at crochet and this has been very easy to follow! However, do you have a video on how to add more yarn??

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! Thank you so much! I show how to add more yarn (or use a different color yarn) in my Beginner Baby Blanket video tutorial at 31:11, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYOWoJxqad-soLs

[@dollyramji6591]

Very good

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you!

[@debylaughlin464]

Hello! This is gorgeous!! If I want to make the blanket a little wider, how many do I increase the chain by?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello and thank you! I have a section on how to adjust the size included in the pattern: jototheworld.com/easy-shell-blanket-crochet-pattern You can use the Table of Contents to jump to the "Frequently Asked Questions" section, which explains how many chains are required to make it a different size. Hope this helps!

[@mariacherkezova3735]

Thank you for the great video! After I complete the blanket, can I crochet the name of the baby on it?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you! You are welcome to try. The pattern only includes instructions for making the blanket.

Can this be made with Bernat weight 6 yarn? thank you

Hi there! All my patterns are designed and tested with the yarn weight and hook that is listed in the pattern.

I accidentally bought the wrong yarn (still new to crochet 😅) It’s yarn that’s for 2.5mm hooks, will I still be able to make the blanket?

How many st did you make for your example pattern at the beginning?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hi there! You can make a small sample like I did by making any number of starting chains in multiples of 6 + 2, which means to take any number that is a multiple of 6 and then add 2 to that number. So for example 18 + 2 = 20 or 24 + 2 = 26. Hope this helps.

Ugh I really listen to what you were saying and did 2-5 repeated I just finished and came back to work on the border. Can I still do your border with what I did lol. I ended with row 4 and did a sc. I'm so annoyed with myself but it doesn't look bad how I did it.
