Pattern:

Foundation Row: With larger hook, work in multiples of 14 + 3  until you reach desired width. For baby blankets I chain 115 (7 x 14 stiches, plus 3 for the turning chain)

Row 1: Switch to smaller hook. Into 4th ch from hook work dc, dc into next 4 ch, *work dc2tog over next 2 ch, work another dc2tog across the next 2 ch, dc into next 4 ch, work dc inc into next ch, work another dc inc into next ch, dc into next 4 ch* Repeat from *to* until one stitch remains, work dc inc into last ch. Ch2 & Turn.

Row 2 (Repeat Row): Work dc into same stitch as turning ch, dc into next 4 stitches, *work dc2tog over next 2 stiches, work another dc2tog across the next 2 stitches, dc into next 4 stitches, work dc inc into next stitch, work another dc inc into next stich, dc into next 4 stitches* Repeat from *to* until one stitch remains, work dc inc into turning chain from previous row. Ch2 & Turn.
