I love this blanket. I did figure out the repeat. You said the original pattern called for 139 chains. Then you said to skip 3 chains and start in number 4 (which counts as the first dc). There are 15 chains in each wave, the last stitch is a dc in the last chain. So, the pattern multiples of 15 plus 4. The 139 makes 9 waves or 42 inches so if each wave is 4.6 inches and you want a 36 inch blanket you should start with 15 x 8 + 4. That is assuming you use the same hook size. I’m a little excessive in planning, so if I have given too much info please forgive me for over stepping.
Love your eye for color, Tiffany! I actually tried this pattern years ago, and I was a bit sad to discover a few of the Red Heart SS colors had been discontinued because I absolutely loved the beachy color palette! Anyway, I thought I'd try to explain the pattern multiple because actually, the pattern DOES tell you the multiple - It tells you there are 9 waves. So take the 139 divided by 9 waves = 15.45 - So multiples of 15 for each of the 9 waves = 135. Then you need 4 additional chains - 3 additional chains are needed to count as the beginning double crochet of the row and then 1 additional chain is needed for the last double crochet of the row. So take the multiple of 15 for any size blanket, then add 4. I hope that makes sense! You can also count between the * repeats * for the multiple, but you'd still have to account for the first and last stitch of the setup row.
Undoing the unnecessary or uneven chains was one of the first things I was taught waaay back when. It was a “cheat” that I’ve used a million times just because my oldest son is a big boy. He’s around 6’3 and about 240 lbs so I make his blankets/wearables pretty big..😊which means the standard throw blanket size doesn’t exactly work for him. The 40x60 is like towel size for him 🤣🤣. Great, great advice!
Your blankets are so classic and beautiful. Not to mention well done. I’ve done a couple of them but working on one, or more, of each! Thank you for your generosity.
Hi Tiffany how are you doing today iam doing fine today your blanket are very beautiful colors and very beautiful work thank you for sharing stay safe ❤❤❤
Than goodness for your video because i was not understanding the written directions correctly! Wish they had included a diagram. It's easy once you get the hang of it. Im using a 4.5 mm hook and 11 repeats got me close to 36 inches with starting chain of 165+4 for 169. 😊
If you want to make the blanket larger than pattern is written, or smaller and the pattern does not provide the stitch multiple to easily adjust, I calculate the change as I described. In the video, it was suggested to just add extra chains and remove left over ones later which also works.
Did you follow the pattern or you made the rows how you wanted? I want to make my rows exactly like you did. This is such a beautiful blanket with gorgeous colors!!! I know I’ll have to make this !!

You’re amazing!
Ahhh that multiple worked for me! 👍🏻
Thank you for figuring that out.

What a great pattern… thanks for the tutorial!

When’s multiple is not given, I add or subtract the number of stitches used between the repeat (*). In this case 15.
Thank you 😊
thank you for the tip!!
Please help me, I don't understand what you are explaining?

How many rows for a colour change...so for eg white 4 rows and blue 2 rows?
Is that yarn 100% cotton because I’m only seeing a blend of cotton/acrylic? Love the colors you chose!
It's a blend of cotton and acrylic 60/40
Thank you
Hi, anyone can help...i am trying to this first time....i am not getting the middle peaks in line..
