Welcome to the Mighty Mile-A-Minute 2021 Calendar Blanket! The January Strip is the fun, fast and familiar "Split Shell" crochet stitch! This listing is for the January Stitch Guide only. This Stitch Guide includes the pattern for making the Split Shell strip (including it's border), notes on how to vary the length (for shorter or longer blankets) and if you want to make an entire blanket using just this strip pattern, we've included some simple suggestions for joining your strips together too! If you've ever made a granny square blanket, you can join these strips the same way :) Using the hook and yarn sizes suggested, your January Split Shell Strip should measure approximately 150 cm long x 9 cm wide (60 x 3.5 inches). This crochet pattern uses American Terminology. This Stitch Guide is one easy, printable page and is available for Instant Download upon purchase. If you have any questions, just message us ^-^
