Part 1: Increasing the diagonal In the first part of the pattern increase the diagonal till the width of the main part of the blanket is reached. Row 1 (RS) The color for Row 1 corresponds to January 1 st, 2018. Ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to the end. Turn your work. [1 pixel] Row 2 (WS) ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to complete a pixel. With the WS of pixel 1 facing and the RS of the pixel of Row 2 just worked facing, line up the top of the dc just worked with the top of the dc s of from Row 1 so that the 2 are touching, ss in the space created by the ch3 at the top of pixel of Row 1. Ch3, 3dc in ch3-space. Turn your work. [2 ] Row 3 (RS) ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to complete a pixel. Rotate the pixel just worked so that you can ss in the ch3-space at the top of the last block worked from Row 2. Ch3, 3dc in same ch3-space as the ss, ss in ch3-space at the top of the next pixel, ch3, 3dc in the same ch3-space as the ss. Turn your work. [3 ] Row 4 ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to complete a pixel. Rotate the pixel just worked so that you can ss in the ch3-space at the top of the last block worked from the previous row. *Ch3, 3dc in same ch3-space as the ss, ss in ch3-space at the top of the next pixel. Repeat from * until you have worked a ss in the ch3-space of the last block of the previous row. Ch3, 3dc in the same ch3-space as the ss. Turn your work. [1 more than the previous row] Rows 5 145 Repeat Row 4 using the appropriate colors for each row. The color for Row 145 corresponds to May 25 th, 2018.
Part 2: Constant diagonal In this part the diagonal is kept constant. This means that the number of per row is the same for each row. At this point you should have 145 on your diagonal.

[145 ] Row 147 Ch6, 1dc in fourth ch from the hook and in each of the next 2 ch to complete a pixel. Rotate the pixel just worked so that you can ss in the ch3-space at the top of the last block worked from the previous row. *Ch3, 3dc in same ch3-space as the ss, ss in ch3-space at the top of the next pixel. Repeat from * until you have worked a ss in the ch3-space of the last block of the previous row. Do not work a pixel on top of the last pixel from the previous row. [145 ] Rows 148-220 Repeat Rows 146 and 147 using the appropriate colors for each row. Row 220 is the last row at which the diagonal is kept constant.
