I need help please. I've made this blanket before and had no problem. This time I cant seem to keep the ends straight. I know you do the sc in the last stitch. then do you chain 3 then do the 3 dc in the same stitch. That's where its going way off. Any suggestions? Please.
Thank you
Patty

I am going to start this pattern tonight but make it bigger. I have a whole lot of left over yarn from different projects in many colors. Instead of the shell stitch border I am going to leave the yarn ends as fringe at the start and end of each row. It looks like a really fun pattern to do.

Debra, I had to copy that pattern! I think I will enjoy making it up in several different colors. Thanks for sharing and God bless you!

Very pretty color combination, and I like the unusual pattern stitch. It gives a nice texture.
