more. Once you get the hang of the repeated stitch, you will be whipping things up like crazy.

Pattern:
Chain 6
Row 1: DC in the 4th ch from hook and in the next 2 ch; turn - (1 block)
Row 2: Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook and in the next 2 ch - sl st into the ch 3 space of previous row, ch
3 and 3 dc all in the ch 3 space of previous row; turn - (2 blocks made)
Row 3. Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook and in the next 2 ch. - sl st into ch 3 space of previous row, ch 3,
and 3 dc all in the ch 3 space of previous row, 2 times to give you 3 blocks.

Continue this pattern - adding 1 block per row for Row 4 to Row 25. (I did 25 rows and then started
decreasing on row 26.) Please note the color changes on the graph.

*Decrease*
Row 26. (after turning) sl st across each dc, sl st into ch 3 space of previous row. Ch 3, 3 dc into the
ch 3 from previous row. Sl st into ch3 of previous row. Turn
*Remember to follow the graph changes*
***Repeat Row 26 to Row 49. Fasten off.

Border:
**Before I put both side together, I did the following to each side separate**
Sc all around in your choice of color. I did 2 sides Purple and 2 sides Black, making 2 sc in each
square area and 3 sc in each corner, sl st and tie off
**Now put the wrong sides facing each other (pretty sides out)
Row 1: Scallop edge – 5 Dc in 1st stitch, *skip a stitch, Sc in next st, skip a stitch, make 5 Dc in next
stitch *, Repeat
Tie off & weave in ends
