NOTES:
Blankie is worked back and forth in rows, in a granny stitch chevron pattern.
The granny stitch chevron pattern is easy to do, but it's important to remember that you may need to work several rows before the chevron pattern becomes clear.
Granny stitches consist of 3-dc groups. The Chevron pattern arranges Granny stitches into a sequence of peaks and valleys. Peaks are made by working (3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc) worked in the ch-3 sp of peaks in previous row. Valleys are made by skipping sts in valleys of previous row.

Loosely ch 187.
