I basically used the pattern from RepeatCrafterMe except I didn’t ch1 between the 3dc groups (which is very similar to the Biased Granny Afghan pattern). I started with 8 rows of A, then 2 rows of B, then did 1 row of Bobble stitches with C but only did a ch1 after each one, not a ch2 like in the pattern, then 2 rows of B, then 11 rows of A. I repeated the pattern of 2B, 1C, 2B, 11A throughout. R59 in C was my corner row (the last increase row). Then I started decreasing with B on R60 and followed the same color pattern to the end. I ended with 8 rows of A.
I did 2 border rows similar to the Biased Granny Afghan pattern: I did the Border Round 1 the same, but for Border Round 2, I did hdc instead of sc. And I ended it there.
I used an I hook for the main afghan and then H & G for the 2 border rows.
