Pattern in UK Terms

(This pattern is a multiple of 3 plus an extra 2) when chaining to the required size.

Normally it is 5 chains per inch. The 25x25 inch blanket is roughly 125 chains and for the 35x35 it is roughly 175. The best way to check your gauge is to chain 5 and measure with a tape measure.

Depending on your tension this could alter the chains by either increasing by 1 if you tension is tight or decease by 1 if your tension is lose. 

Start with either Red or Rosie Pink wool and chain either 125 or 175 chains.

Row 1:Beginning in the 2nd chain from the hook, work 1 dc in each stitch to the end.

Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as 1 tr), then work 1 tr into the stitch at the base of the chain-3 you just made. Your next lot of trebles will go in the third stitch along, miss two stitches, then work 3 tr in the next stitch.* Miss two stitches, then work 3 tr in the next st* Repeat between ** all the way along the row until THREE stitches remain.

Miss two stitches, then work 2 tr's into the last stitch. Do NOT fasten off. Turn.At the end of this row, you should have 2 tr at the start, then 2 tr at the end.

Row 3:Chain 3 (counts as 1 tr).For this row, you will be working your stitches out of the spaces between the treble-groups of the previous row.

You will continue to do this on each row until the size you need.
