Would like to make this smaller for a baby blanket. Does anyone know what the multiples are? Or how many chains to make a baby blanket? It does not seem that these comments are moderated by the website so i am asking fellow crocheters to answer if they made this afghan into a baby blankets. Thanks!

This pattern sounds very easy and a big project like this is a great way to keep busy during the colder months. I think this pattern and netflix will be my companions this winter!

I love this pattern. I am in the process of making one very similar but not quite as pretty. I plan on using your edging on the afghan I'm now in the process of crocheting. Thank you for such a lovely pattern.

Looking at the pattern logically, I think it should read like this ...ch 153, shell in 6th ch from hook, skip 2 ch, dc in next ch, skip 2 ch,..." The repeating pattern seems like it should be "shell in 6th ch from hook, skip 2 ch, dc in next ch, skip 2 ch"
