Starting from the beginning, make chains in the multiple of 4 for how wide you want your blanket, I made 152 chains for my example blanket
Row 1: Make 1 DC into the 3rd CH from your hook
Make 1 DC into the next CH
*Make 1 CH, skip 1 CH
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 CHs
Repeat the steps above from * for the rest of this row
Row 2: Make 3 CHs (counts as 1 DC)
Skip 1st ST, make 1 DC into each of the next 2 STs
*Make 1 CH, skip previous CH space
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 STs
Repeat the steps above from * for the rest of this row
Row 3: Make 4 CHs
Skip 2 STs, *make 1 DC into the next ST
Make 1 DC Spike/Long DC into the CH space 2 rows down
Make 1 DC into the next ST
Make 1 CH, Skip 1 ST
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have 2 STs left
Make 1 CH, Skip 1 ST
Make 1 DC into the last ST to complete
Row 4: Make 4 CHs
Skip previous CH space, make 1 DC into each of the next 3 STs
*Make 1 CH to skip previous CH space
Make 1 DC into each of the next 3 STs
Repeat the steps above until you have a CH space left in this row
Make 1 CH
Make 1 DC into that last open space to complete this row
Row 5: Make 3 CHs (counts as 1 DC)
Make 1 DC Spike/Long DC into the CH space 2 rows down
Make 1 DC into the next ST
*Make 1 CH, Skip 1 ST
1 DC into the next ST,
Make 1 DC Spike/Long DC into the CH space 2 rows down
1 DC into the next ST
Repeat the steps above from * until you only have 1 open space left in this row
Make 1 DC Spike/Long DC into the CH space 2 rows down
Make 1 DC into the same open space to complete this row
You would now repeat Rows 2, 3 ,4 & 5 in order for how long you want your blanket
