Pattern

Chain 102. (Pattern repeat is an even number x 10, plus 2.)

Row 1: Work 2 HDCs into the 4th chain from the hook. *Skip 1 chain, then work 2 HDCs into the next chain. Repeat from * across the row. At the end of the row, work 1 HDC into the last chain. CH 2 and turn. 

Row 2: Work 2 HDCs in between each of the first 4 pairs of HDCs from the previous row. *Work 2 Large HDCs clusters in between the next pair of HDCs. Then work 2 HDCs in between each of the next 4 pairs of HDCs. Repeat from * across the row. At the end of the row work 1 HDC into the top of the turning chain. CH 2 and turn. 

Row 3: Work 2 HDCs in between each pair of HDCs and HDC clusters from the previous row. At the end of the row work 1 HDC into the top of the turning chain. CH 2 and turn.

Row 6: Repeat row 2.

Row 7: Repeat row 3.

Repeat rows 2 through 11 nine more times, then repeat rows 2 through 9 to finish the blanket. 

Border

At the end of the last row, you can either turn and starting working the border, or tie off and weave in ends and pull up a loop in the corner later to begin the border. You can also work one round of SC or HDC around the blanket before beginning the ribbed border if you’d like. 

After the last stitch, CH 5. Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, work a SC in each of the 4 chains back toward the edge of the blanket. Slip stitch into the next space, and in the next space (try to work in the spaces that line up with the end of each v-stitch row). Turn and work in the back loops of each of the 4 SC you just made. CH 1 and turn. Work back down and SC in the back loops only. (Be careful not to miss the 4th stitch, it sometimes pulls tight and is hard to see.) Continue repeating around the blanket. 

When you reach the corners, *only slip stitch once into the corner, before turning and working back loop SC back up to the top of the border. Return and slip stitch into the corner space. Repeat from * two more times so that your border is neatly fanned around the corner. After finishing the corner, continue working around the blanket as before. 

When you reach the corner you started with, work the corner as you did previous corners, then tie off when you are at the top of the border, leaving yourself a long tail. Then use the tail to sew the sides of the corners together with a tapestry needle. Tie off and weave in ends. Then enjoy your cozy throw!
