CH 3. 3 DC in the same chain stitch as that SC.
Repeat from * to * until you reach the end of the chain. SC in the last stitch. CH 3 and then turn.

Row 2: 2 DC in that SC you did at the end of Row 1. FPSC around the third DC of the set of 3 DC’s in the previous row. Ch 3. 3 DC’s in the ch 3 from the previous row.
Repeat from * to * until you reach the end of the row. SC into the CH3 from the previous row. CH 3 and then turn.

Repeat Row 2: Continue until you reach your desired length.

One of the most beautiful aspects of this pattern is its natural, wave-like edges. The stitch pattern creates such a lovely finish that adding a border isn’t necessary. The edges will have a soft, rippled look that perfectly complements the blanket’s overall design.
