Pattern Repeat

Row 3 and every row thereafter is essentially a repeat of Row 2, however, there are two main differences.

1: All stitches, apart from the increase group, are worked into the stitches 2 rows below (Row 1 when working Row 3). The increase group is worked as normal into the 3ch-sp in the row below (Row 2 when working Row 3)

2: The [1 tr, 1 ch, 1 tr] groups are nowworked into the ch 1 space within eachgroup (from 2 rows below), NOT into the ch1 space between groups. 

Row 3:

 Join B, 3 ch (counts as 1 tr], miss first group from row 1 and ch 1 space, work a group in ch 1 space within second group, *1 ch, work another group into next group from row 1, 1 ch, [1 tr, 1 ch, 1tr, 3 ch, 1 tr, 1 ch, 1 tr] into 3ch-sp from row 2, 1 ch, work a group into next group from row 1, 1 ch, work a group into next group,**do not 1 ch, miss decrease group from row 1, work a group into foll group in row 1; rep from *, you should finish at ** in second-to-last group from Row 1, do not 1 ch, miss final group, 1 tr in to top of ch 3, turn.

Rep Row 3, changing colour every two rows until 40 rows have been worked in total. Then rep Row 3 5 times more and changing colour on every row to make a single-row striped band across the top of the blanket. Remember to work all stitches in the spaces from two rows below, apart for the increase; so for Row 4 you are working into Row 2, and so on.

Finishing

Weave in Ends.
