This timeless lacy shell crochet blanket is simple but has an elegant touch. Alternating the colored yarn with white really helps make this throw lovely. I must admit, this is a pattern I fell in love with so much that I made two right away. This pattern size is wonderful for a small throw or blanket. However, it would be an heirloom crochet project as a larger afghan. The pattern is a repeat of rows 2-5. It is ideal to end with the stitch pattern on row 3 as this will provide a nice foundation to even out the work on the next row. There are just a few special stitches; the v-stitch, and the shell stitch. The edge consists of the single crochet and double crochet. In total, just a but shy of five skeins were used for this baby blanket.

I am really happy how the Frozen Hearts Baby Blanket turned out! At first, I wasn't sure if I can create tiny little hearts using the pointy crocodile stitch, especially because I used shades of blue instead of red, but I think the final result is beautiful. I hope you think the same too! You can use red to make the little hearts, I chose blue because I think it looks cool as a winter baby blanket. I also think this blanket will look gorgeous in shades of yellow.

My dear mother-in-law grew up in Upper Michigan near the shores of Lake Superior. You can walk the beaches and find beautiful gem stones in the cold, clear water. The town she lived in used to be a booming mining town. We would go there and go Agate searching each summer. The crochet borders on this throw remind me of those beautiful gems.

My love for making crochet afghans has grown a lot over the past year. I released a variety of styles in 2019, but I hadn't made a hexagon afghan before so I thought that should be next on my list of projects. The Succulent Spring Hexagon Afghan was designed while traveling to visit crochet friends a couple months ago. It ended up being the perfect project for the airport and plane rides as I didn't have to carry around a half finished afghan all at once. I packed the finished hexagons in my luggage and kept the pieces I was working on in my carry-on.
