Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a new free pattern from me! My Classic Shell Afghan Pattern is so cute and easy to make!

This blanket is a simple shell stitch in a rainbow coloring. But this blanket would look amazing in any color scheme!

Made from a few easy basic stitches! Also a great choice for a blanket with 'no holes'!
