Instructions

The pattern looks complicated but is actually just a series of 3 panels of zigzag shells attached with a lace design and then a simple border to complement. This is perfect for anyone wanting to make a traditional style blanket but without the frills.

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Infant/Baby

Style: Traditional, Cute, Classic


Materials

It took about 300g of soft cream 4ply wool

What was your inspiration?

I have designed this for my friends baby who is yet to arrive! He or she is due in July so I wanted to make a blanket soft and light enough to be used in summer. I also hoped for a traditional feel but with a modern look, I hope I have achieved it!

What are you most proud of?

I love the fact that the zigzag pattern has almost a 3D texture that I didn't expect.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have a go! It looks complicated but really isn't. It's just 3 easy panels joined with simple stitches.

Is the hook size correct on this? A size 2 and 2.5? Really small

I plan to add a little tutorial onto my blog about it next week when I get chance so will let you know when it goes up. Many thanks for your interest
