Row 1:

1. Starting in the 4th ch from the hook, work 1 dc in each ch across. (166 dc)

Row 2:

1. Ch 2 (this counts as your first dc), turn.
2. Work 1 dc around the front post of the previous dc, sk 1 st, and 1 dc around the back post of the next dc.
3. Repeat from * to * to end, ending with the last dc in the turning chain.

Row 3 to Row 20:

1. Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket measures approximately 152 cm (60 in) in length, or to your desired length.
