Sideways Shell baby Afghan (aka:Newbie Shell Afghan) On Project Linus is a super beginner pattern. I start with 110 chains (worsted weight) cause I like it bit wider then 92 chains of pattern. If I use Bernat Baby Coordinates I use 120 chains to start. I don't do the border in the pattern - just go around three sides with the same ( sc,chain2, 2 dc) that is whole body of the pattern. Worth having a look at - http://www.projectlinus.org/pattern1.shtml Hope this is of some help
