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 #5
Row 1: Ch 33 (last 3 ch count as dc), (dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in sixth ch from hook, skip next 2 ch, dc in next ch, * skip next 2 ch, (dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in next ch–shell made, skip next 2 ch, dc in next ch; repeat from * across, turn.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), * (dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in next ch-1 sp, dc in single dc between shells; repeat from * across, ending with dc in last dc, turn.
Rows 3-12 or until piece is square, or almost square: Repeat row 2.
At end of last row, fasten off.
To make this stitch pattern any size, begin with ch multiple of 6 plus 3.

Whoa, I better get crackin'. I still have #4 to do! 😀
Just read about your crochet-a-long. You're only on square #5 so hopefully I'm not too behind & can get caught up.

I stumbled across your crochet-a-long..somewhere, and I've finished the first 4. Just wanted to say I'm enjoying it – hoping you don't storm off ahead too fast 😉
(Trying not to think of the other wips I'm supposed to be doing!)
