Angel Nicole's Blanket - 15 inch blanket project

BORDER (worked in rounds)

Round 1 (pink)
Slip stitch new color onto any edge. Ch 1, sc evenly around blanket border. 3 sc in corner stitches, slip stitch to start ch,  change color, ch 1

Round 2 (teal)
Sc in each st around, place 3 sc in each corner stitch, slip stitch to start ch, change color, ch 1

Round 3 (yellow)
Sc in each st around, place 3 sc in each corner stitch, slip stitch to start ch, change color, ch 1

Round 4  (white)
Sc in next two stitches, *1 hdc in next st, 1 dc in next 3 stitches, 1 hdc in next st, 1 sc in next 3 stitches, repeat from * around, CORNERS- Corners are trickier with this border I found, I just placed double crochets in the few stitches leading up to the corner and in a few after with 3 dc in the corner stitch then continued with the pattern starting with the 1hdc and then the 3 sc.

Finish blanket by weaving in ends
