New pattern...

Seems I got myself into trouble - AGAIN - and added myself as a designer in Ravelry. So I need to post the design, don't I?

Here's the Slant Shell pattern for a baby blanket.
This can be done with any yarn and hook of choosing. The pattern is simple and can be done in any size, just add chains accordingly.
Chain 113 chains, sc into 5ch from hook, 2ch, 2 dc into same ch, skip 2 ch, [sc, 2ch, 2dc in same ch, skip 2ch] repeat across, dc in last ch.
Turn with 3 ch, and around sc,2ch from last row, [1sc, 2ch, 2dc,] repeat across, end with 1dc into 5ch loop from beginning.
Turn with 3ch, repeat pattern until you reach the length of project you like, but keep in mind that when you've done this, you might want to add a border.
I continue with the pattern around the edges, for 5-8 rounds, depending on how big I want the border to be. You can either work the border in the round, or back and forth, to achieve the same look as on the main body of the blanket.
