Crystal Waves crochet stitch for fast and easy baby blankets #89

Welcome to my channel Crochet for Baby. In today's tutorial I will show you how to do this fast and easy beginners crochet shells stitch that is ideal for baby blankets, baby sweaters, baby booties, baby beanies, baby hats, baby dress, and so much more.
This crochet stitch is named Crystal Waves Crochet Stitch after the dear friend that taught me how to make it. Her great grandmother taught her and apparently was an old stitch. I’m not the original designer of this stitch nor was she. If anyone knows who the original designer is of this beautiful stitch, please let me know to give proper credit. Thank you 😊 ❤️.

For my blanket I used Bernat softee #3 baby yarn with a 4.5mm Crochet hook. I used about 4 skeins of yarn which was about 560 grams. I made 136 chains and continued for a total of 42 rows. It measures approximately 30.5in long x 29.5in wide without the border. Border measures 1.5 in. Hope this helps for those of you that are making this blanket.

For the tutorial, I 'm using a baby weight yarn as well with a 4.5mm crochet hook. The stitch multiple is 4.

If this is your first time here, I've been doing crochet tutorials in Spanish for a couple of months now and have been asked by a lot of my subscribers to do tutorials in English too. I hope you like and subscribe to my channel and if you see a tutorial in Spanish and would like for me to do it in English, please comment below with the tutorial number and I will gladly do it.

I love this pattern. I've found that if you use regular yarn and a larger hook, it makes a beautiful throw also.

Love the challenge of learning new stitches no matter the difficulty level. Both demonstrations and voice directions are superb! Tfs

I love this stitch so much. I already made one small afghan to donate to our local Veterans Administration hospital here in Ann Arbor, MI. When my father felt how warm it was (he stole it temporarily for his lap and feet) he didn't want to give it up. He is a heart patient and cancer patient and can NEVER get warm, so I am making a nice big one for him starting today. The stitch pattern works up beautifully and the final afghan is so plush and warm. thank you for sharing this pattern and showing the finishing edges. I would love for you to put your written pattern on Ravelry so others could have it as well. I did make a project page for mine and included a link to your video in hopes that it will catch someone's eye and they too can enjoy making this. Thanks again!!

What a beautiful stitch! The opposite side looks like waves! I bet a pretty turquoise, and sand color yarn would make a lovely blanket for a bed! Thank you for the awesome tutorial!

[justagramma]

this is an excellent video. So easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much!

I’m working this in “paintbox” baby dk, blush pink, from LoveCrafts Inc. it’s working up beautifully. I will remind crocheters to make foundation chain loose or use a larger hook, I should’ve done. Mine is a bit tight, but with a border and blocking it should be okay.

I love to watch you ❤ and like your teaching😊

[cheryldarr]

Thank-you for taking the time to show how this stitch is worked. You are a very good teacher, and I wanted to let you know you are appreciated! Thanks again, and keep the tutorials coming. I'll be watching for your next one!!! ☺

Love the look of this stitch. Going to try and make one for a twin size bed changing colors every row. Thank you

I agree with comment below, some of us are starting and if you are teaching someone, you can go slower for the first couple stitches, or we can't even see, it isn't a race, crocheting fast isn't hard, but teaching so people can follow is about going slow enough, at least initially, to assist in full view so we can not miss any stitches.

Thank you for posting this stitch. I made a scarf and it turned out beautifully. I will make a matching hat. Thanks again. This will be my go-to stitch.

[Bonnie-bt]
