Grandi,
Thank you for your suggestion about the triangles. The step border I am looking for instructions for is created on each row. When increasing the width of the item, a new block is added right and left for each row end. When decreasing the width, one block is decreased right and left on each row end. I feel that I am just missing a step. I will keep trying to figure and practice it out. Somewhere someone may know.

If you make 4 triangles and join their straight edges, it will leave the steps all around the outside of the square.

Once I got the width I wanted, I started the decrease stitch at one end & the increase at the other. Can I make the blanket longer than it is wide? How do I do that?

I rec’d baby blankets from my mother in law for both my son and daughter with this stitch. I asked het what it was and she told me “irish stitch”. Been searching for ditections on how to do so when I found this I was very happy! Thankyou. Now I can make a baby blanket for a friend who is expecting!

I was given a baby afghan before my oldest son was born made in this stitch. My grandmother stared at it for hours trying to figure out how they made it. It was so durable. It lasted through 3 sons and two grandsons. I plan on making one for the newest baby in our family. Thanks for posting this pattern on your site.

THANK YOU I’ve done this stitch for years but can never remember how to start. I’ve stopped at the “halfway” and made shawls.

Started the decreasing rows. After the first decreasing row there is no chain 3 space at ends if I’m reading pattern right. Mine seems to be looking a little curved at ends. Will this straighten out when I put finishing edge on?

Diagonal square pattern, Decreasing row, you instructions show (sl st in next 3 dc and sl st in next ch 3 space, ch 3, 3 dc in NEXT ch-3 space.

should the word NEXT be SAME ch-3 space, repeat row across…..

This is my first time making this pattern.
Thanks
