This blanket is called “Variations on a Theme” because as I worked on stitch swatches, I found myself wanting to create many variations of one basic stitch pattern just to see how far it could go. It’s a stitch sampler blanket using many of these patterns.
Here are all the CAL posts:

Variations on a Theme Square #12
Row 1: Ch 32, sc in second ch from hook, * ch 1, skip next 2 ch, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch–V-stitch made, ch 1, skip next 2 ch, sc in next ch; repeat from * across, turn.
Row 2: Ch 5 (counts as dc and ch 2), sc in center sp of first V-st, ch 2, dc in next sc, (ch 2, sc in center sp of next V-st, ch 2, dc in next sc) across, turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in first dc, (ch 1, V-st in next sc, ch 1, sc in next dc) across, turn.
Row 4: Repeat row 2.
Row 5: Ch 1, sc in first dc, (5 dc in next sc–shell made, sc in next dc) across, turn.
Row 6: Ch 5 (counts as dc and ch 2), sc in center dc of first shell, ch 2, dc in next sc, (ch 2, sc in center dc of next shell, ch 2, dc in next sc) across, turn.
Rows 7-10: Repeat rows 3-4.
Rows 11-12: Repeat rows 5-6.
Rows 13-16: Repeat rows 3-4.
At end of last row, fasten off.
To make this stitch pattern any size, begin with ch multiple of 6 plus 2.
Carolyn, is there supposed to be a ch 1 after the V-stitch on row 1, and before and after the V-stitch on row 3? Please advise. Thanks!!
Yes. Fixed!
Thank you so very much!!
