pattern: zig zag blanket

i made this custom queen sized mint and cream blanket for Devon, and i was so pleased with how it came out! i'd love to make one for myself one of these days.

pattern: zig zag blanket
i used:
5.5 mm crochet hook
caron simply soft yarn in soft green and off white (about 18 skeins for this queen sized blanket)
scissors
yarn needle to weave in ends

chain a multiple of 28 stitches (for this queen size blanket, i chained 336)

row 1:  turn. ch 2. 2 dcs in 3rd ch from hook, *10 dcs, dc3together 2 times, 10 dcs, (3 dcs in next stitch) 2 times* ; repeat from * to * across, ending with 3 dcs in last ch.

row 2: turn. ch 2. 2 dcs in first dc, *10 dcs, dc3together 2 times, 10 dcs, (3 dcs in next stitch) 2 times* ; repeat from * to * across, ending with 3 dcs in turning chain.

repeat row 2.
