I made this blanket for my husband who went to Syracuse University. I came up with this blanket on my own. I designed the S by drawing it on to graft paper, then I doubled the size and then I doubled it again ext. until I got the size I needed. Each graft box counted as one stitch.
The stitch:
After the base ch was made, for Row 1 I used (sc in the next ch, ch 1, skip the next ch) across the blanket.
All future Rows: sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1 repeat from * to * across.
