This week's draw for Unwind's chaos blanket! Take a look to see how Becki's blanket is coming along!🧶

#10-- Free choice color (I chose Cranberry), wattle stitch for 5 rows
#11-- #8 White, double crochet for 5 rows
#12-- #6 Sungold, crossed double crochet for 4 rows

Wattle—Ch 2, *(sc, ch 1, dc in 1st stitch) skip 2 stitches* for the last dc in all rows, before finishing the stitch, with two loops on the hook, slip stitch into the last stitch of previous row and finish the dc—this will keep the stitch count correct. In following rows, ch 2, the (sc, ch 1, dc) will go in the chain spaces of previous row.

Double crochet in each stitch across.

Crossed Double—ch 3 *sk 1, dc, dc in skipped stitch* (will look like a V) end with dc in last stitch
