Stouto Crochet Tutorial
This guide provides additional visual help for following the written pattern, checking stitch placement, and maintaining straight blanket edges as you work through this section.
Pay particular attention to stitch counts, skipped stitches, chain spaces, shell stitches, and front post double crochet V-stitches. Some rows have different beginnings and endings, so it is important to follow both the written instructions and the stitch diagrams carefully.

Follow these photo references alongside the written instructions for Rows 27–39 of the Ultimate Stitch Sampler Blanket. These visual guides will help you check stitch placement, understand shell stitches and front post double crochet V-stitches, and maintain an even stitch count throughout your work.
Pay special attention to skipped stitches, chain spaces, and the beginning and end of each row to help keep your blanket edges straight.

Important: The written pattern remains your primary reference. Use the photographs alongside the instructions to check your work and identify any stitches or spaces that may be difficult to recognise.

STEP-BY-STEP CROCHET GUIDE
Step-by-Step
Browse through each row below or follow along round-by-round at your own pace.
Rows 33–38: Shell Stitches and Front Post Double Crochet V-Stitches
Rows 33–38 introduce a combination of shell stitches, single crochet stitches, and front post double crochet V-stitches.
These rows require careful attention to stitch placement, particularly where stitches are worked around the posts of stitches in the previous row.
Row 33: Starting with a Six-Double-Crochet Shell
Row 33 begins with a 6-dc shell worked into the two chain spaces specified in the written pattern.
Follow the stitch diagram to identify the correct chain spaces and distribute the six dc stitches as instructed.
At the end of the row, work 1 sc into the final 2-chain space, following the written instructions.
Check the beginning and end of the row to make sure the shell and final single crochet are correctly positioned.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ultimate Stitch Sampler Rows 27–39 photo guide?
This photo guide provides visual references to help you follow Rows 27–39 of the Ultimate Stitch Sampler Blanket. Use it alongside the written pattern to understand stitch placement, pattern repeats, and changes at the beginning and end of each row.
Do I need the written pattern to use this photo guide?
Yes. The photographs are intended to support the written pattern, not replace it. Follow the written instructions for stitch counts, repeats, and stitch placement, and use the photos to help clarify the instructions.
Why should I check my stitch count for Rows 26 and 27?
Checking your stitch count helps you identify mistakes before moving on to the next section. Incorrect stitch counts can affect the shape of your blanket and make later pattern repeats more difficult to follow.
What should I watch for in Rows 28–30?
These rows alternate between half double crochet stitches and chain spaces. Pay attention to the skipped stitches and follow the written pattern carefully to maintain the correct stitch placement.
What is a front post double crochet V-stitch?
A front post double crochet V-stitch is made by working a front post double crochet around the post of the indicated stitch, chaining one, and working another front post double crochet around the same post. This creates a V-shaped stitch around the post rather than into the top loops of the stitch.
Why are Rows 33–38 important for keeping my blanket straight?
These rows include shell stitches, front post V-stitches, and variations in how stitches are worked at the beginning and end of a row. Pay particular attention to Row 35 and Row 36, as their placement differs from neighbouring rows. Follow both the written instructions and the corresponding diagrams.
What should I do if the edges of my blanket start looking uneven?
Check your stitch count, skipped
