Picnic Blanket

90 ch.

I cut off the contrast cotton at the end of each row rather than crochet over it for a whole row.  As I was alternating between 2 colors for each row, I’d crochet over the top of the cotton I wasn’t using.

Row 1:  Miss 3 ch and (work 1 dc in each of next 3 sts, change to 1st contrast and work 1 dc in each of following 3 sts, change back to main color) repeat to last 3 sts, work 1 dc in each of last 3 sts.  Turn.
