I made this for one of my kids at her request. A plain, thick blanket with an occasional row of detail. Using 2 balls of yarn at once with a large hook means it works up quick and is super warm and thick. My blanket measures 140 cm x 155 cm approx.

Using 2 balls of yarn at a time, chain your required number of stitches for the width you want. Your base row needs to be a number of stitches that is divisible by 3 +1 . For example, my base row was 145 ch. 145 - 1 = 144/3 = 48
The Blanket is made up of the following 4 rows : SC Row ch 1, turn, sc in each chain across DC Row Turn, ss into first st, 3ch (st dc), dc in each sc across Popcorn Row Turn, ss into first st, 3 ch (st dc), 2 dc, (PC, 2 dc) to end, making sure you finish with 3 dc after your last pc. Sc Row after Popcorn Row ch 1, turn, sc in first, second & third dc, (skip top of pc, sc in next 3 stitches) to end. End the row with 4 sc after the last pc is skipped.
To make the blanket, Step 1 - ch your required number of stitches. Turn Step 2 - sc row Step 3 - dc row, sc row Step 4 - 6 - repeat Step 3 Step 7 - pc row, sc after pc row Step 8 - 15 repeat Step 3 Step 16 - repeat Step 7 Continue repeating from Step 7 until you have almost reached your desired length, ending with Step 7 Finish the body of the blanket with 4 repeats of Step 3 .
Make the border by : Make sure the blanket is right side up. Work a round of sc working 3 sc in each corner. The top and bottom edges are easy as you are working into sc or ch. The sides can be a bit funky though. I did 1 sc into the sc row edges and 2 sc over the post of the dc rows. Finish with a ss into your first sc. Fasten off yarn. Weave in ends.
