Instructions:

Ch 130
Row 1: 2 dc in 4th ch from hook, *sk 2 sts, 3 dc in the next st** Repeat from * to ** across, turn. (129)
Row 2: Ch 3, *3 dc in between the next 3-dc clusters from previous row** Repeat from * to ** across, 1 dc into the t-ch, turn. (129)
Row 3: Ch 3, 2 dc into the space between the 1-dc and 3-dc cluster from previous row, *3 dc into the space between the next 3-dc clusters from previous row** Repeat from * to ** across, 3 dc into the space between the last 3-dc cluster and t-ch, turn. (129)
Row 4-71: Repeat Rows 2-3
Row 72: Row 2

For this afghan, I worked 6 rows of one color, 3 rows of white, and continued working this color pattern, alternating between different colors and white. However, you can work any color pattern that you wish. Since this is a stashbuster for me, I used whatever colors I had on hand. For color changing techniques, see the tutorial above.

Finish:

• Join border color with a sl st in the last st of Row 72. Sc evenly around the entire blanket and finish off with an invisible join (see tutorial link above).
• Weave all ends.
