Dancing Shells Blanket

I designed this blanket as a gift for my 4 year old niece who loves ballet and dancing! The simple, pretty design is made up of shell stitches that are worked in a special way to make them look like they're twirling and dancing. This blanket is an easy, 1-row repeat and reversible (identical on both sides).
