How to Crochet a Shell Edge – Feminine Berry Blast Photo Prop Basket Filler – Free Crochet Pattern

February 12, 2015

Yesterday I shared a free crochet pattern for the basic Berry Blast Photo Prop Basket Filler. Today, I am sharing a tutorial on working a Feminine Shell Edge, making any blanket perfect for a little girl! 
 
These Small Photo Prop Basket Fillers are great for hanging off the side of a basket or bin with baby leaning on, as well as on the top of some layering blankets.

**Make sure to check back in tomorrow for the adorable little chunky hats to match! The final piece to this set 🙂
 
Materials:
     – Less than 50 yards each of Bulky/Chunky (5) Yarn in 2 Colors – I used Deborah Norville’s Serenity Chunky Weight Yarn in Berry Burst and Pristine
     – L11/8mm Crochet Hook
     – #18 Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends.
 
Material Notes:
     Yarn Alternative: Hold two strands of worsted weight yarn together.
 

Time Spent:
      I was able to complete this basket filler in about 25 minutes.

Abbreviations:
     DC – Double Crochet
     SC – Single Crochet

Measurements:
     9.25″ Wide x 10″ in Length

Gauge:
     7 DCs x 4 rows = 3″ Square.

Pattern Notes:
     If you want to make this basket filler larger or smaller, add or subtract by 6 stitches and/or 3 rows of DC.

Pattern:
     Chain 17. DC into the 4th chain, and into each chain across. (21 DC) 

R2 – 10: Chain 2, turn. DC into the 2nd DC, and into each DC across. (21 DC) 

Border:

     At the end of Row 10, chain 1 and turn. Work 2 SC in the 1st DC, and in next 13 DC’s, 3 SC in the next DC to form the 1st corner, evenly SC 19 down the first side, 3 SC in the next stitch to form the 2nd corner, SC in the next 13 stitches, 3 DC’s in the next stitch to form the 3rd corner, evenly SC 19 up the 2nd side, 1 SC in the next stitch (which is also the 1st stitch). 
Join to the first SC – If you wish to change colors here, join with the new color.

R2: After Join, chain 1 and turn. Work 2 SC in the 1st SC, SC in the next 15 stitches, 3 SC in the next stitch to form corner, SC in the next 21 stitches, 3 SC in the next stitch to form the 2nd corner, SC in the next 15 stitches, 3 SC in the next stitch to form the 3rd corner, SC in the next 21 stitches, 1 SC in the next stitch (which is also the 1st stitch). Join to the 1st SC.

R3, Shell Edge: After Join, slip stitch over 2 stitches, (SC in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches, work 5 DC’s in the next stitch to form a shell, skip 2 stitches) 14 times. Join to the 1st SC.

Fasten Off, Weave in Ends. Here I used the Invisible Join technique.

Please feel free to make and sell this basket filler, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, please link to it instead.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
