Cotton Shells Afghan I Made for My Niece

Cotton Shells Afghan I Made for my Niece

I like to crochet with cotton yarn (I used Lily's Sugar 'n Cream for this afghan). I know acrylic is supposed to be easier to clean but I prefer working with natural fibers.

The colors of her nursery are green & purple & were built around a monkey with purple & green & a floral headband. So I took my inspiration from her nursery.

I used a simple shell pattern, alternating green & purple, & improvised the border as I crocheted.
