[Shaheeda4ever]

does every 5 shell stitches mean 27 chain?

[tjw1963]

@Shaheeda4ever 2 chains - 1 shell. The written instructions are posted in the video details. You can also visit the link to my crochet blog, which will provide a symbol chart.

I have been crocheting for less than a month, I made a baby blanket from this video, booties and a hat from your other video's for my soon to be grandson. I have friends who can not believe I can crochet these things so soon! I have one who has been crocheting for 12 years, says she had trouble with this pattern, I sent her your link :-)

[tjw1963]

@jennleaf08 Great to hear you have been learning so quickly.

[GrinningStar]

I have used your videos to teach myself to crochet and you are an amazing teacher. I have a quick question though, how would I go about making a straight edge once I'm finished with my piece?

[tjw1963]

@GrinningStar Work a chain between each peak, which will straighten off the edge. Upon completion, work an edging of single crochet.

Hi Theresa I'm woking on a shell stitch baby blanket and was wondering how I can add a border to it, and I saw you have a video on how to straighten out a shell stitch should I use that too so the border is even all the way around? Like so it wont be ruffledmon top because of the shell stitch?

[tjw1963]

@BlazerRose You are welcome.

[BlazerRose]

Great tut - I've had my troubles with this pattern, but your video really helped. Thanks! :-)

I was wondering if it was possible to do different designs, like a basket weave pattern or DC pattern, along with this shell method, and at the same time for the blanket to come out proportional. I started off w/ the shell, but if I wanted to have rows of DC how could I accomplish it? BTW I love your videos!
