Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in.

Pick up the patchouli yarn and complete the sc. 

Chain 2, turn

Repeat rows 3 and 4, changing colors every 2 rows.

My pattern is:

2 rows of lavender

2 rows of white noise

2 rows of patchouli

2 rows of white noise

2 rows of Sage

2 rows of white noise

Repeat the pattern until the blanket is as long as you like.

End with lavender, 1 row of the linen stitch, followed by chain 1 and sc in each stitch across (make sure you use the chain stitch, not the space)

At the end of the row, chain 1, cut your yarn, pull through to tighten up and finish.

Border: 

Any hook size from 6-8mm will work. I used a 6.5mm

Join with white noise in any corner.

4 sc in the same corner stitch.

1 sc in each stitch across until you reach the corner, which will always get 4 sc in the same stitch.

On the side edges, each color gets 2 sc 

When you reach the beginning stitch, join with a slip stitch.

Please watch the video to see how to make the ribbed border.
