Row 1: Make 4 CHs
Make 3 DC into the 4th CH, the farthest CH from your hook
Make 1 TR into that same CH, with those DC made
Row 2: CH 3
Make 3 DC into the space between the TR and 3 DC you made in Row 1
SK 3 STs, make 3 DC into the space between the 3 DC and last CHs you made in Row 1
Make 1 TR into that last space, with those DC you just made
Increase Row: CH 3
Make 3 DC into the space between the TR and 3 DC you made in the row below
SK 3 STs, make 3 DC into the space between STs
Repeat this step across until you reach the last CHs in this row
Make 3 DC into the space between the last 3 DC and last TR from below, then make 1 TR into that same space
Repeat the Increase Row above until you reach how wide you want your blanket
Decrease Row: CH 4
SK 4 STs, make 3 DC into the next space between STs
SK 3 STs, make 3 DC into next space between STs
Repeat the step above until you only have 3 STs + CHs left
SK those 3 STs, make 1 TR into the top of those last CHs to complete this row
You'll now repeat this Decrease Row until you reach the last row in this blanket. You'll know it's the last row because you'll only have 1 block of 3 DC left
Last Row: CH 1
Skip to middle DC of next previous 3 DC, make 1 SC into that ST
Then SL ST into the last CHs in this row
Flip your work, make 1 CH
Then SL ST into the SC you had just made to complete your blanket
This is what how my Heart To Heart Afghan should look like when completed!
