This video will show you how to crochet a crocodile scale stitch, on the diagonal. That means you'll start with one crocodile scale in the corner, the 2nd row will have 2 scales, the 3rd row will have 3 scales, and so on.

The mermaid scale blanket that I showcase in the beginning of the video was made using Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn in color Dragonfly with a size F crochet hook (US size 5/3.75mm).
