My blanket is made like this, 4 rows of color and 2 rows with white. I have used every color 5 times.
Border:
Change color every row. Start and finish with white.
Row 1: Place your blanket with the right side up, start in the” lower” righthand side corner and work your way up along the longside first. Start with a st dc around the first post st, make one more dc around the same st, 2 dc around every post st along the side, in the last one you make 2 dc, ch2, 2 sc. Now lets make the upper short side, 3 sc, 2 hdc *4 dc, 2 hdc, 6 sc, 2 hdc* repeat until 3 st left, make 2 sc, make 2 sc, ch2, 2 dc in the corner, repeat the longside, make 2 dc ch2 2 dc.
