I posted a picture of this very vintage looking crochet baby afghan that Jeanette was working on on the blog a while ago. Since then I have been bombarded with requests for the pattern. So here you go! The PDF is below, I hope that many of you will make it an enjoy it very much! We made ours with Karabella Lace Merino yarn and would be happy to sell you some if you need.
I just found your site while searching for reversible baby blankets. The one shown is beautiful. I crochet baby blankets for women’s shelters, daycare centers and homes. I’m glad I found your site.
Could you please send me the directions on how to do the reversible afgan???????? Please my printer is not working as it prints bunches pf pages I found on e mail it does not do this
Can you shoot me an e-mail at pipersquilts@yahoo.com with your address, and I would be happy to send you one.
Thanks!
Hi there, I was just wondering what type/weight of yarn you used for this afghan? it’s lovely btw.
Beginning with my first child I made this blanket for every baby born in our family, as well as for some friends. We are now expecting our first great-grandchild and guess what? I can’t find the pattern. I am so happy I found it again. Thank you very much.
Oh I just love this blanket Made it many times…Lost the pattern! Thanks for Sharing!
Love this pattern! I’m working on a mint green and white, and it is looking great! Thanks for sharing!
I have been looking for this pattern for over 30 years. It was made by a dear friend who is no longer with us for my son who is now 32 years old. I have searched the web and asked dozens of crochet friends and no one has ever seen this pattern. Thank you so very much for sharing. I have printed several copies so that I do not lose this pattern.
Hei! I just found this pattern but I can’t open it? Is it possible to send it to me?
I have just emailed it to you.
Thanks!

Hi,
I would love to try this reversible blanket but I can’t open it. You could put a real smile on my face by sending it to me! Thanks.
I am having trouble understanding this pattern. My shell stitches seem to look like their own row instead of front and back. Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong? Thanks
Absolutely beautiful/ The download link for pattern will not work. Is it at all possible to have you email me the pictures as well as the pattern?
Thank you so very much in advance. B Cowell

Thankyou so much for sharing your talent and your generosity with your free pattern. It is just beautiful. What awesome work that you do.
I cannot open the file for the Reversible Shell Baby Blanket. Would you please send the instructions to me. My daughter loves vintage and is expecting her first baby very soon.
Thank you very much.

Love this pattern. It looks like the one my grandmother made for my son 40 years ago. Can’t get it to open, either. Would love an email with instructions as well. Thanks for much.
i learned this pattern 45 years ago and is the only one i love to do, it’s simple to do and you can’t go wrong doing this one … and besides it’s beautiful and get’s a lot of compliments.. and someone always wants to buy them from me when they are done… i doubled the the pattern and made one for my bed, a little time consuming but the end results are beautiful,I never need another blanket for my bed..it’s warm but it never makes you feel hot…
just gorgeous! Thankyou so much for sharing your talent and your generosity with your free pattern. hugs TallGirl
Please e-mail this pattern to me. I have tons of yarn to use up and shells are the first thing I was taught to crochet at the age of ten. A friend taught me “mile a minute” lace–all shells. Thank you.
I had this pattern years ago and made several for friends. My first Grandaughter is due in March and I wanted to make one for her but could not find my pattern. Thank you so much for sharing. Could you please email it to me along with the picture. My email is : marilynj541@msn.com.
Have you ever made this pattern in one color? Would it still work? I recently bought several skeins of one color to make a blanket and I came across your pattern and it looks very interesting.
Thanks,
Rita
I have a pattern like this one and have been making it for years. It is the one everyone asks me to make.
Hi Im just setting out on my crochet journey as I am expecting twins, I love this pattern and I am just wondering what sort of sized hook I will need? Any advice welcome. Lou
I was browsing for reversible afghan pattern when I came accross your site and found this lovely blanket’s pattern, Unfortunately I could not open it. Would you please send it to me? This is my email address : wdjanggur@yahoo.co.id. Thank you for sharing it.

HI!!!
JUST FOUND YOUR SITE AND THE PATTERN I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR. I MADE THIS BLANKET FOR A DEAR FRIEND’S BABY BOY YEARS AND YEARS AGO.
NOW HE IS GOING TO BE AN UNCLE AND I WANTED TO GIVE HIS SISTER’;S BABY THE SAME BLANKET…BECAUSE NUMBER ONE: IT IS EASY TO MAKE, NUMBER TWO: IT LOOKS MUCH MORE COMPLICATED TO MAKE THAN IT REALLY IS TO MAKE, NUMBER THREE: IT ISN’T TERRIBLY HEAVY, BUT STILL PLENTY WARM, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT IT IS DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS.
I DON’T HAVE A PRINTER. WOULD YOU MIND SENDING IT TO ME?? HOPE NOT!!!!!
THANKS AND MAY YOU RECEIVE DOUBLE WHAT YOU WISH FOR OTHERS,

I made this for my Granddaughter 32 years ago, and somehow lost the pattern. She is now expecting a baby so I can not begin to tell you how excited I was to find this pattern again.Thank You!!
