Question
Hi Ed!   

I'm having so much fun making security blankets for shelter cats and dogs (14 so far).  This pattern looks like it would be nice and comfy, but I don't understand it enough to get started.  

"Chain 93 very loosely.  Work 1 triple crochet, do 2 in third chain from hook, skip 2 loops, do a single crochet, skip 2 loops, do 5 triple again.  Repeat across, turn and return.  Continue until it's a square."

I can't figure out where that first triple crochet goes, or how to start off the second row.  

Thank you so much for being here for us!  You've taught me a lot!

Thanks for the question.

hmmmm, I see your challenge. I do not have a clue. This is a very poorly written pattern, but not only that, I think its missing part of the instructions. I got some yarn and a hook and I could not make it work.

Here is a website, that has a bunch of baby blanket, that are better written than this one.

I am very sorry I could not help you out with this pattern, but I do hope you can find one on that link that will do the job for you

Should you need any assistance, please let me know.

Happy Hooking
