"I actually stopped to try this and see if I liked it. It was very easy. Took me about 20 minutes to make the first one, the second was faster. Think will make a great blanket with different color centers."

"I was just thinking yesterday that I need to find a way to dress up my fleece blanket I bought. And this Sweet Shells Crochet Edging will be great! I love your timing!! After reading the written pattern this will work out great and make a $5.00 blanket a great gift. So nice to have this one. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet edging pattern."

"I'm actually doing this right now. I'm doing a 72 X 80 inches blanket or bread spread which will fit a queen size bed. I'm excited about this project. This is my first off-white blanket project which will be followed by a lot more similar colored projects in the future. I will post the finished blanket later."

I have been crocheting for years and yet I have never done this stitch. This would look great in an afghan. It is a great stash buster as well. I can see an afghan with all different colors. It will be beautiful and unusual. Thank you.
