Calculate how many chains you need for 16 repeats: 6 chains per repeat * 16 repeats = 96 chains + 2 chains = 98 chains needed.
Calculate how many repeats need to get the size blanket size you chose: 30″ wide / 2″ per repeat = 16 repeats.Know your stitch repeat gauge: 1 repeat = 2″.Choose the size you want to make (example baby blanket): 30″ wide.
See, you can do this! Now you can use the chart to pick a size blanket you want to make and follow these instructions: What Size is a Crochet Blanket? So, you calculate 6 chains for each repeat and you want 10 repeats … 6 x 10 = 60 chains, PLUS 2 chains at the end = 62 chains needed to make a blanket that is 20″ wide. Once you know your gauge, you need to know how many chains to do for a blanket 20″ wide. Therefore, if you have 10 repeats, you can calculate that 10 repeats x 2″ per repeat = 20″ wide. Gauge is a word that not many people understand but it is as simple as this: If you are crocheting the shell stitch pattern and your piece has a repeat that measures 2″, then for each repeat across the row your piece will increase by 2″.
You simply need to know your gauge as well as the blanket size you want to make. Now that you can crochet the easy crochet shell stitch pattern, you can turn it into a blanket. How To Use Stitch Pattern to Make a Blanket That’s it – that’s the easy crochet shell stitch pattern. Repeat rows 2 and 3 for the pattern, ending after a row 3. Row 3 (RS): Sc in first dc, * skip 2 dc, 5 dc in next sc, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc repeat from * to end of row. Row 2 (WS): 2 dc in first sc, * skip 2 dc, sc in next dc, skip 2 dc, 5 dc in next sc repeat from * to last 6 stitches, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc, skip 2 dc, 3 dc in last sc of row. Row 1 (RS): Sc in 2nd ch from hook in the back bump of the ch, * skip 2 ch, 5 dc in next ch, skip 2 ch, sc in next ch repeat from * to end. Finally, don’t forget to check the crochet blanket size chart below to make the right size for your project.Ĭhain a multiple of 6 + 2.
Then, with help from the video tutorial, you’ll see how to turn that into a finished blanket.
