2. Granny Stripe Blanket at Purl Bee here approx 50 x 56 inches

Notes

• The hardest part of this project is the first part - making a very long chain, and then working into the very long chain for your foundation row.  I'm not going to lie to you and tell you I enjoyed this part, I didn't!  However, it was totally worth all of the counting and recounting, once I made it past this row I loved making the blanket.
• The pattern stitch is a multiple of 3 + 2, so if you want a smaller blanket, it's easy, just chain less, making sure that the stitch count is a multiple of 3, plus 2 stitches.

With Contrast Color, chain (ch) 302.
Foundation Row:  1 single crochet (sc) into 2nd chain from hook, 1 sc into each chain to end (301 sc).
Foundation Stripe Row: 1 sc into each sc to end. (301 sc).

*Switch to Main Color.
Main Color Set Up Row: Ch 3 (counts as 1 double crochet (dc)), 1 dc into first sc, [skip 2 sc, 3 dc into next sc] to end (you will have: 2 dc stitches plus 100 dc groups).

Main Color Granny Row:  Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc into very first stitch, [3 dc into next space between dc groups] repeat to last space, 2 dc into last space and then 1 dc into 3rd stitch of ch 3 from previous row.

Repeat Main color Granny Row 31 more times.

Switch to Contrast Color.
Stripe Row Set Up:  1 sc into each dc to end (301 sc).
