My Slanted Shell Afghan can be found in April 2017, Issue 37 of Happily Hooked Magazine. This issue features “Stitches and Textures that will take your crochet to the next level”.

Remember my Great to Be a Grenadier Slanted Shell Afghan(shown above)? I posted this in May of 2015, and designed it specifically for my old high school. I made it in their colors, and donated it to be auctioned off at an end of the year band concert. 
Well… Time for another silent auction so I worked up this new Still Great to Be a Grenadier Afghan named Slanted Shell Afghan for this issue of the Happily Hooked Magazine. This afghan features one of my favorite stitches – the Slanted Shell Stitch – in individual afghan squares, and then joined together using the Pull Loop Through (PLT) Method and one continuous join meaning less ends to weave in!

To complete your own Slanted Shell Afghan, you will need about two and a half skeins each of Color A and B and one skein of Color C for join and border of I Love This Yarn – I used the Red, Black and White colorways – or about 2262 yards of worsted weight yarn, and an I9/5.5mm crochet hook.
