Great blanket.
I hope more people make this design.
Why don’t they? I don’t know.
It is sophisticated.

I’ve made it twice before.
Versatile for a boy or girl.

Recommendation:
Work one row FSC instead of chains, then work r 1stitch pattern.
Work r 1: sc in 1 st fsc, then work row as written.

To modify width, determine how many stitches are needed for desired width.
FSC that number of stitches, in multiples of two, plus one more.

Recommendation:
R 2: sc in 1st stitch, sc in ch space, (ch 1, sk 1, sc) rep to end, ch 1, turn.

Used smaller hook for MC and bigger hook for the two CC’s because the Rodeo yarn a different gauge than the Summer Tweed.

I didn’t preshrink a swatch. The blanket shrank widthwise upon MW / tumble dry. Next time I make the blanket with the Summer Tweed yarn, I’ll make it bigger to allow for that. Baby blankets need to be easy care.
