The intro post will also give you all the yarn info for the blanket, and other links that may help. I have created an event in my Facebook page to share photos and ask questions. You can find the event here.
Onto rounds 3 & 4 of the border! Round 3 uses a crossed double crochet stitch. You can find a tutorial for that stitch here.
Border Round 3:
Switch to color C, slip st into ch-2 corner space, ch 5 (counts as first dc and ch 2), 2 dc in same ch-2 corner space, [(skip 1, dc in next st, dc in skipped st working behind the previous st) to corner space, (2 dc, ch 2, 2dc) in next ch-2 corner space] 3 times (skip 1, dc in next st, dc in skipped st working behind the previous st) to corner space, dc in next ch-2 corner space, slip st to 3rd ch of beginning ch 5. (100 sts on each short side, 144 sts on each long side, ch-2 corners)
