This is a pattern I've been using. It is very simple. I do it while walking on the tread mill at my gym. I've made several of these, and actually sold a couple online. It uses bulky weight yarn and a 6.5 hook. I use Redheart Baby Clouds.

Great idea for corners. Would like to see a closeup of the square you sewed at the corner.
My kids have one that is sewn. I know what you are talking about.

Get some graph paper and copy a pic from a colouring book. You can colour it in with coloured pencils and either do the pattern in cross st after which looks awsome or make the pattern as you crochet.
Here is a link for printable graph paper.
yes, i think you understand it.
slip in the very next st, ch 3,
dc in next dc,
work a shell,
*dc in next 2 dc,
sk 2 dc, dc in next 2 dc,
work shell in next st.*
then just start again in the next stitch with the
*dc in next 2 dc….*
**typically you would skip a stitch before and after the shell… maybe the pattern doesn't tell you that part?**
i would also recommend that you count your stitches just to make sure you have the correct number to begin with.
Here's the link to crochet pattern central's baby blanket collection http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/baby_afghans.php
