Cozy, yet attractive blankets, here we come!
So, as its absolutely dreary outside, I thought we’d look at some lovely, ocean-inspired blankets to help us reminisce of summer beach holidays. Thus here are some gorgeous, shell-stitched blankets in gentle, tropical ocean hues. Undeubtedly, the soothing, smooth color transitions are just the thing the doctor ordered to help soften a dark, sombre fall mood. Indeed, there are few things as serene and calming as a blanket like this, which will be perfect as both for the baby and for yourself. Indeed, one would also be a cherished and prized gift.
If you what to learn how to make the shell stitch pattern go to the tutorial first:

Beautiful Shell Blanket
However, an ocean shell blanket can also be made using different yarns of carefully chosen colors, not a pre-made ombre one.

In particular, I think the transition is well combined with the alternating textures of the color bands.
