Starting from the very beginning, make chains in the multiple of 4 + 3, I made 155 chains for my example blanket
Row 1: Make 1 DC into the 5th CH from your hook
*Skip 3 CHs, make 4 DC into the next CH
Repeat the step above from * until you only have 1 CH left
Make 1 DC into that last CH to complete this row
Row 2: CH 3 (Counts as 1 DC)
*Skip 3 STs, make 1 DC into the next ST
CH 2
Make 1 DC over the DC you just made, into the ST you skipped to the right of that DC
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have 2 STs + some CHs left
Skip to those last CHs, make 1 DC into the top of those CHs to complete this row
Row 3: CH 3 (Counts as 1 DC)
Skip 1st ST, make 4 DC into each CH 2 space across, until you only have some CHs left
Make 1 DC into the top of those last CHs to complete this row
You would now alternate between Rows 2 & 3 for however long you want your project
This is what how my Little Sweetheart Afghan should look like when completed!
