Starting from the beginning make chains in the multiple of 3 + 2
I made 162 chains for my example blanket
This will be a Throw size
Row 1: Make 2 DC into the 3rd CH from your hook
Make 1 CH, Skip 3 CHs
Make 3 DC into the next CH
*Make 1 CH, Skip 3 CHs
Make 3 DC into the next CH
Repeat the steps above from * for the rest of your row
Row 2: Make 4 CHs
Skip 3 STs, to the previous CH 1 open space
Make 1 DC into that space
Make 1 DC SP into the middle CH/Middle DC from 2 rows down
Make 1 regular DC into that open space
*Make 1 CH, Skip 3 STs to next open space
Make 1 regular DC into that open space,
Make 1 DC SP into the middle CH/Middle DC from 2 rows down
Make 1 more regular DC into that open space
Repeat the steps above until you have 1 block of 3 DC left in your row
Make 1 CH, Skip 2 STs
Make 1 DC into the last ST of your row to complete this row
Row 3: Make 3 CHs
These 3 CHs just made count as 1 DC
Make 1 DC SP into the Middle DC from 2 rows down
Make 1 regular DC into that open space
*Make 1 CH, Skip 3 STs to the next open space
Make 1 regular DC into that open space,
Make 1 DC SP into the middle CH/Middle DC from 2 rows down
Make 1 more regular DC into that open space
Repeat the steps above for the rest of your row
So Row 2 & 3 are very similar. The middles will be the same, but the beginning and ends will be different
Alternate between Rows 2 & 3 for however long you want your project
I made 105 rows for my example blanket
