Manta de bebé de conchas inclinadas gruesas (Ganchillo)

The slanted shell stitch looks so much more intricate than it actually is to work up — I finished this blanket in five evenings while bingeing a show. It's chunky enough to feel substantial but still drapes nicely, and the pattern's easy-to-follow layout meant zero frogging.

The slanted shell stitch gives the blanket such a lovely texture, and it’s thick enough that it feels substantial without being heavy. I started it on a Tuesday and had it finished by Sunday night, which is exactly the speed I needed for a last-minute shower.

Took me four evenings of Netflix bingeing to finish this, which is basically a miracle since I'm slow at crochet. The slanted shell stitch looks way more intricate than it actually is, so my sister-in-law thought I slaved over it for months.
