1. Set Up Round: Work around the project with your “background” color as follows: *sc, ch 2, skip 2 sts; repeat from * around, working (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner stitch or space. The total number of ch-2 loops does not matter. Join to first sc and finish off.
2. Round 1: With “dot” color, dc3tog cluster in any ch-2 sp, ch 2, skip next st, *dc3tog cluster in next ch 2 sp, ch 2, skip next st; repeat from * around, working (dc3tog cluster, ch 2, dctog cluster, ch 2) in each corner ch sp. Join to first cluster and finish off.
3. Round 2: With “background” color, work 2 dc in any skipped sc st of set up round, enclosing the ch-2 from Round 1, fpsc around dc3tog cluster, *2 dc in next skipped sc of set up round, fpsc around next dc3tog cluster; repeat from * around, working 3 dc between clusters in the corner ch-2 sps.
4. Round 3: With “edge” color, sc evenly around entire blanket, working 3 sc in each corner st.
