Special Note

• This blanket is worked by placing 3 stitches (SC, HDC, DC) into the same stitch, then skip 2 stitches.
• Your foundation chain needs to be a multiple of 3. For example, make sure you can evenly divide 3 into the number of chains you start with.

Directions

1. Ch99. HDC & DC into the 3rd ch from the hook. *Sk 2 ch, [SC, HDC & DC] into the next ch,* rep across. SC in last ch. Ch1 and turn.
2. *[SC, HDC & DC] into the first st, sk 2 st,* rep to the end. SC in last st. Ch1 and turn.
3. Repeat step 2 for Rows 3-61. At the end of Row 61 (or your desired number of rows), Ch1 and turn.

Border

1. SC evenly around the blanket, placing 3 SC st in each corner.
2. Repeat step 1. At the end of Round 2 (or your desired number of rounds), FO and weave ends.

Notes on Adjustments

Now, of course, it's easy to adjust to make this bigger. I only had 3 rolls of this yarn in Spearmint Pop to work with, so I chose to make my blanket for a car seat/stroller. But, you can easily increase the foundation chain by multiples of 3 and add more border rounds.

Texture Creation

Three simple stitches as the SC, HDC, & DC into the same stitch creates a beautiful texture that really "pops".
