A Better Picture of Badi

[billroper]

Here's what I hope is a better picture of Badi from when I found him and brought him home after he was lost for a week last time:

Badi Found (Last Time) Here's a shot of Katie and Badi at higher resolution.

Ack! It's felted through love, I think, making the individual stitches difficult to pick out. I would guess that it's a row of trebles and chains into a row of looped chains. Anyone else?

My guesses

I think it's more the white-on-white making it hard to see. This is not an easy item to photograph even if the explicit purpose were to document the stitch (which we know it wasn't)

I still maintain that it's "some kind of shell" though you might look in a stitch dictionary to find something similar. The shells are staggered, in a kind of brick-work pattern. My best guess is a 2-row repeat where 1 row is shells, as described before, and the next row is chains & sc, making the loops to work the following row of shells into.

It looks very much like a shell and trellis pattern which, as Annie has said, has ended up quite felted and hard to distinguish details.

I don't *have* a shell and trellis pattern - some digging on Ravelry turned up something that looks quite similar but unhelpfully isn't available on the site.

Anything look familiar?

I hope I don't see a photo on the next carton of milk that buy saying, "Have you seen this blanket?"

Here's a reply I got back from the Stirling list.

looks like 3 dc, 3 chain, repeat. Fairly easy.
I have a 100's of crochet stitches book, I could photocopy the page. But the resolution's fairly low, so it's hard to say. The truth is the yarn is probably more important to the child than the stitch. Was it baby acrylic, wool, cotton. THe color looks like it is an oatmeal.
I'd suggest finding a crocheter, taking the child to the store, buying the yarn she wants and making her a new blankie that she picks.

Would you like her to copy the page for you? I'd suggest buying the yarn and making some test swatches.
