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.
Reversible Shell Baby Blanket Pattern
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!

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?

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
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.
I have a pattern like this one and have been making it for years. It is the one everyone asks me to make.
This pattern looks beautiful, I would like the pattern. I have to make two,
as I have a niece due in April and a nephew due in May.
Could you please e-mail pattern along with the picture. Thanks for
sharing. My email is: anna.korch@charter.net
Could you please email me the pattern. It looks like a piece of history. Thanks in advance.
Hi…I can’t download this much-loved pattern, either. I just learned yesterday another grandbaby is on the way…and my arthritis is quiet enough right now to try this blanket one more time. I’ve just moved to SLC. Could you tell me where your shop is to pick up the yarn…and email me the instructions? It would be a blessing. Thanks, Mrs. White

Good morning all. I cannot open the pattern either. Would someone email me the pattern at freespiritdeb4u@gmail.com if you don’t mind. I really would appreciate it as I just absolutely LOVE this pattern/blanket. This is just GORGEOUS and I am so glad I found it and YOUR website.
Everyone have a very blessed day!
My Grandma made this pattern for my son 24 years ago and is wanting to make one for my cousin that is having a baby soon. She cant find the pattern and is trying to figure it out from my sons blanket which I have treasured all these years. I tried to download the pattern, for some reason It is starting with row two. It is missing how many chains and the first row instructions. could you please e-mail this to me and my Grandma, along with what size hook to use, so I could pass this on to my grandma. kb_tweety@yahoo.com, myrlvan@yahoo.com
