NOTES
This pattern is worked using a ‘corner-tocorner’ (C2C) construction working blocks of (ch3, 3tr). Each ‘row’ is made up of a diagonal row of blocks, starting with 1 block in Row 1, 2 blocks in Row 2, and so on. This continues until you reach the number of blocks shown in the width. At this point work continues without increasing until you reach the number of blocks shown in the height. The Blanket is then worked in decreasing rows to end.
