I have previously avoided this stitch because it looked extremely delicate. Soon after starting this project, I revised my opinion. Though there is a lacy aspect to this stitch, it is a solidly stable stitch; there are no long stretches of chains. I liked that it was easy to know where to do each portion of the stitch. If something was wrong, you could easily figure out where you went wrong; there was no ambiguity in this stitch. This is also the first, and maybe only, stitch in the book to use a puff stitch. This makes the blanket slightly bumpy. This stitch would be appropriate for scarves, full sized blankets, or baby blankets.
Here's how to make it:
Chain 90, then work stitch until work is square. Add this border and you're done.
Round 1: sc around, 3 sc in each corner
Round 2: dc around, 5 dc in each corner
Round 3: sc around, 3 sc in each corner
Round 4: (sc, ch 3, sk 1) around, (sc, ch 3, sc in same stitch) at corner
I made this using Baby Bee Pink Camo Too with a J hook
Round 1: sc around, 3 sc in each corner
