Knitted a total of 272 rows.

When working the single crochet stitch all the way around, I crocheted in the front loop only.

The single crochets were done as follows:
Top and bottom of blanket: SC4, skip1
Sides: SC every stitch

For the cloverleaf I made these changes:
Cloverleaf: single crochet, then immediately chain 3 and slip stitch into the front two loops of the single crochet.
Chain 3 more and slip stitch into the first stitch of the chain. Chain three more then slip stitch into the first stitch of the chain. Work a slip stitch into the stitch that you crocheted the original single crochet in.
