Getting Started
To make the blanket wider, increase the starting chain by a multiple of 3. The final starting chain count should be a multiple of 3, plus 1.
To make the blanket longer, complete the pattern as written, then repeat the color pattern starting with row 1 until the blanket is desired length.
Remember, making the blanket larger will take more yarn, as it is written it uses most of the 2 skeins of each color.
