The following instructions describe how to create a shell blanket using a V-stitch pattern. This pattern involves various stitches and clusters to form the distinctive shell design. The blanket is worked in rounds, with corner shell clusters acting as the foundation for each corner of the piece.

Round 1:
Chain 4.
Work 1 double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook.
Chain 1.
Repeat the previous two steps a total of 6 times.
Slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the starting chain-4 (this counts as the first dc in the round).

Round 2:
Chain 1.
Single crochet (sc) in the first chain-1 space (this is the 4th chain of the initial chain-4).
Work 7 double crochet (dc) in the next chain-1 space, single crochet (sc) in the following chain-1 space.
Repeat the previous step a total of 3 times.
Work 7 double crochet (dc) in the next chain-1 space.
Slip stitch to the first single crochet (sc) of the round. (This should result in 4 shell clusters and 4 single crochets.)

Round 3:
Chain 4.
Work the following stitches all in the same stitch: 1 double crochet (dc), chain 3, 1 double crochet (dc), chain 1, 1 double crochet (dc). This creates the starting v-stitch cluster.
*Chain 5.
Skip the next 7 double crochets (dc).
In the next single crochet (sc), work a v-stitch cluster.*
Repeat the previous step a total of 2 more times, resulting in four v-stitch clusters.
