Lacy Shell Crochet Baby Blanket

This timeless lacy shell crochet baby blanket is simple but has an elegant touch. Varying the colored yarn with white really helps make this crochet blanket gorgeous. I just love the color options for this simple crochet pattern. You can change the colors using any medium weight yarn that you like.

The skill level is perfect for the advanced beginner. If you can single crochet and double crochet, you are ready for this crochet baby blanket. Once you get past row five, the pattern is a repeat of rows 2-5. 

The crochet border is simple using single crochet and double crochet stitches. 

This would be a lovely handmade baby gift. Crochet patterns like this are a treasured heirloom blanket for years to come.
