I adapted this pattern from one of Mum’s afghan patterns. I wasn’t able to manage the stitch used in the pattern but I used the pattern as a reference for colour changes. Since I didn’t have enough yarn for the changes the pattern called for I substituted a few colours into the scheme.

I made another afghan using this shell stitch pattern (which I kept for myself). The note on the pattern listed a number of stitches to use but this is much narrower than the one I made for myself; I probably didn’t update the note when I finished mine.

However, the piece is still a good size and I don’t think I’d have been able to managed the colours and rows as well had it been wider.

This will be a donation in honour of Mum’s birthday in November.
