You can make a larger or smaller blanket by using a multiple of 3 for the chain.
I found that some of the skeins of yarn don't have enough yarn in the color to make several stripes. You will want to check the length and sort your skeins so the colors do not repeat when you change to the next skein.

Row 1: In 2nd chain from the hook, hdc, dc, skip 2 chains and in the next work sc, hdc, dc. Skip 2 chains and repeat “sc, hdc, dc” into the next space. Repeat across to the end and there is one chain left. Work 1 sc. Chain 1, turn.
Row 2: hdc and DC into the top of the sc you just made. Skip over the dc and hdc, *“sc, hdc, dc” into the sc*. Repeat the pattern across ending the last stitch with one single crochet. Chain 1, turn.
You’ll always be looking for the sc to do your “sc, hdc, dc” into.
