Shell Blanket Crochet Pattern – Alternating Shells and V’s
This shell blanket crochet pattern is crocheted with pink, brown, and beige colors to create a soft and warm blanket.
The pink stripes show support for those affected by breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, while the brown and beige bring a warm, neutral touch that’s perfect for fall.
Making this crochet blanket as a gift for someone can serve as a reminder of love, courage, and support for those affected.
If you want a cozy blanket, you can switch up the colors and create a beautiful Christmas blanket in red, white, and green. If you are in the US, you could try red, white, and blue for a beautiful patriotic blanket.
Regardless of what you choose, this striped blanket pattern is sure to look great throughout your home, from the living room sofa to the bedroom.

The size of this blanket is for a lapghan, but you can easily adjust it to any size you want, from baby to a full-sized bedspread.
Use the size chart below to take the guesswork out. The pattern provides a stitch count, making it easy to adjust.
I used a worsted-weight yarn, but any yarn will work. Simply do a gauge swatch, and then adjust the starting chains to get the width.
Other crochet blanket patterns that you might enjoy include the Pretty Simple Crochet Lapghan Pattern and the Lacy Double V-Stitch Crochet Lapghan. Both of them feature a simple, yet pretty stitch that you can easily modify in terms of colors to match your favorite corner of the home.
