3. Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as the first dc), turn. Work 1 dc in the next stitch. Skip 2 stitches. Work 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches. Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with 1 dc in the last stitch.
4. Row 3: Ch 3 (counts as the first dc), turn. Work 1 dc in the next stitch. Skip 2 stitches. Work 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches. Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with 1 dc in the last stitch.
5. Repeat Row 3: Continue repeating Row 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. You can change colors as desired to create stripes or use a single color throughout.
6. Finishing: Once your blanket has reached the desired length, fasten off and weave in any remaining ends. You can add an edging if desired, such as a row of single crochet or a decorative border.
