Notes
- This project is worked flat and you carry your unused yarn colors up the side edge of the project (loosely). We will work over them with the edging rounds.
- When you change colors at the end of a two row section, do so on the last yarn over of the stitch. This will leave the new color on your hook to begin the next 2 rows.

Work 2 sc in each row-end across (i.e. this means 2 dc around the post of the dc or ch 3 at the end of each row. Each color section will have 4 sc.). Work 2 additional sc in the final row end. Turn to work along the bottom row of the blanket. 1 sc in each st across, 2 additional sc in the last st of the row. Rotate to work along the side-edge of the blanket. Work 2 sc in each row-end across, 2 additional sc in the final row end. Finish off with an invisible join and weave in ends.
With CC2 (blue): Join your new color with a sc join method. Work 1 sc in each of the sc around the entire blanket. Finish off with an invisible join and weave in ends.
