The Beautiful Shells Blanket is one of my favorite patterns to make that’s easy and yields a beautiful result. The repeat is very easy to memorize, and you can make the blanket as big or as small as you want. I’ve even seen people make blankets with multiple granny squares using this pattern. If you want to make one, there are several tutorials on YouTube (just search “Beautiful Shells Blanket”). You can also find a written pattern on Ravelry. Here is the link: Ravelry: Beautiful Shells Blanket pattern by Lahoma Jayne Nally.
