Instructions:

Starting the Blanket:

1. Begin by making a foundation chain of 102 ch. This will create the base of your blanket.

Row 1:

1. In the 4th ch from the hook, make 1 dc.
2. Continue making 1 dc in each of the next 2 ch (total 3 dc).
3. Once you have 3 dc, ch 2 (this creates a point).
4. Make 3 dc in the same chain space.
5. Sk 2 ch from the chain, and in the next ch, make 1 dc until you have 3 dc.
6. Repeat the increase by making 2 ch and 3 dc in the same space. Your first chevron is now complete!
7. Continue this pattern across the row until you reach the end, making sure to dc into the last ch.

Row 2:

1. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Turn your work.
2. In the next dc, make 1 dc, then make the point of the chevron (ch 2, 3 dc) in between the 3 dc groups from Row 1.
3. Repeat until the end of the row, adding a dc in the last stitch.

Row 3:

1. Change to your next color (light pink). Ch 3 to start.
2. Continue following the same pattern of dc and chevrons, alternating colors every two rows.

Continue the Pattern:

1. Repeat the Row 2 and Row 3 until your blanket reaches your desired length, or until you have at least 40 rows.

Finishing Up:

1. Once you reach your desired length, finish with a row of sl st to create a decorative edge.
2. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
