Granny Stripe Rows
Sc around the blanket making sure to have an even amount of stitches on all sides. Since the next rows are going to be done in the granny stripe pattern and this pattern is done in multiples of 3, the number of sc on each side needs to be divisible by 3. (48 sc on each side and 3 sc in each corner).

Round 1: Attach yarn in the center sc of the 3 sc corner, ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same st, *skip 2 sts, work 3 dc into next st (this is a 3 dc cluster),* repeat from * to * to the corner 3 sc, 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the center sc of the 3 sc corner, repeat from * to * to the next corner, around the blanket to beginning ch 3, join with ss.
* for rounds 2-9 you will be working in the spaces between the dc clusters.
