Using a P hook (11.50mm) and 3 strands. Crochet using dc instead of singles.

Starting chain with 56 chains (54 dc + ch2) has given me a blanket about 30” wide. Aiming for final dimensions of 30x36.

Blanket will be in three sections, each one is 15 rows of dc:
first section - red, orange, yellow held together
second section - green, light blue, navy held together
third section - white, grey and black
