Notes
This is a Corner 2 Corner Pattern.
The graph is read from the bottom right corner to the top left corner. You will be working diagonally and reading the rows from right to left and then left to right. Each square on the graph counts as one block. One block consists of one Ch 3 and 3 Dc.
You will begin the rows with an increase square until you reach the bottom left corner. When you reach the corner you will be decreasing on this side and continuing to increase on the other. Once you reach the upper right corner you will no longer be increasing on either side and will start each row by decreasing until you finish.
I recommend using separate balls/skeins of yarn when switching colors to eliminate having to cut and join yarn frequently.

Fasten off.
Trim
With your blanket RS up, join color B with a Sl St to the upper left corner.
Row 1: Ch 1, Sc evenly around the border of the blanket, working approximately 2-3 Sts per side of square. Exact St count is not crucial but you want to be careful to not place too many Sts and cause the border to be wavy, or too little stitches and cause the blanket to be pulled. Sl St to the first St made to join. Do not turn.
Row 2: Ch 1, we are going to be making 1 Sc into each St around, working from left to right. In the previous St to the right, insert your hook, YO, pull up a loop, YO and pull through 2. You’re creating a regular Sc just working backwards. Sl St to the first St made. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
Bows (Make 8)
With Color B
Row 1: 50 Fsc, fasten off. Alternatively, you can Ch 51 and work 1 Sc into the second Ch from the hook and each across for 50 Sc.
Weave in both ends.
Evenly space the Sc cords along the bottom of the blanket. Tie it together to create a bow, working it between 2 squares to secure.
