Starting from the beginning make an even number of CHs for the width of your blanket. I made 176 CHs for my example blanket.
Row 1: Make 1 SC into the 2nd CH from your hook
Make 1 HDC into the same CH as the SC you just made
Make 1 HDC into the same CH with the SC and HDC
So that's SC + HDC + HDC all together
Skip 1 CH, (SC + HDC + HDC) into the next CH
*Skip 1 CH, (SC + HDC + HDC) into the next CH
Repeat the step above from * until you have 3 CHs left in your row
Skip 2 CHs, make 1 SC into the last CH of your row
Row 2: Make 2 CHs
Skip 2 STs, (SC + HDC + HDC) into the next ST
Skip 2 STs, (SC + HDC + HDC) into the next ST
*Skip 2 STs, (SC + HDC + HDC) into the next ST
Repeat the step above from * until you have 1 ST left in your row
Make 1 SC into that last ST of your row
Repeat Row 2 for however long you want your project
I made 120 rows for my example blanket
