Our blanket keeps growing and with clue #11 we get into the 3rd edge which consists of 7 rounds. Do not be worried, it is the same two techniques that we have used before and the result is 3 beautiful stripes in different colours.
ROUND 1: Continue with opal green (no 17) 1 sl st around next st, 1 ch (= 1 dc), * skip 3 sts, 5 ch, 1 dc in/around next st *, repeat from *-*.
Corners:
Work as follows in ch-space: 1 dc, 3 ch, 1 dc.
Complete description of round 1:
ROUND 1: Continue with opal green (no 17) 1 sl st around next st, 1 ch (= 1 dc), * skip 3 sts, 5 ch, 1 dc in/around next st *, repeat from *-* the entire 1st long side.
1st corner: Work as follows in ch-space: 1 dc, 3 ch, 1 dc.
Work * 1 dc in/around next st, skip 3 sts, 5 ch *, repeat from *-* the entire 1st short side, 1 dc in/around next st.
2nd corner: Same as 1st corner.
Work * 1 dc in/around next st, skip 3 sts, 5 ch *, repeat from *-* the entire 2nd long side, 1 dc in next st.
3rd corner: Same as 1st corner.
Work * 1 dc in/around next st, skip 3 sts, 5 ch *, repeat from *-* the entire 2nd short side, 1 dc in next st.
4th corner + finish: Work the same as 1st corner, * 1 dc in next st, skip 3 sts, 5 ch *, repeat from *-* 1 more time and finish with 1 sl st in 1st st on round = 148 dc and 41 5-ch-spaces along each long side , 27 5-ch-spaces along each short side and 4 3-ch-spaces in each corner.

ROUND 2: Switch to white (no 01) - READ COLOUR CHANGE, 1 sl st around 1st ch-space, 3 ch (= 1st tr), 2 tr around same ch-space, 1 ch, * 3 tr around next ch-space, 1 ch *, repeat from *-*.
COLOUR CHANGE:
When changing colour work as follows: Before last pull through of last loop on hook, switch colour, pull the last loop on hook through with the new colour.
Corners: 3 tr, 3 ch, 3 tr.

ROUND 2: Switch to white (no 01) 1 sl st around 1st ch-space, 3 ch (= 1st tr), 2 tr around same ch-space, 1 ch, * 3 tr around next ch-space, 1 ch *, repeat from *-* the entire 1st long side.
1st corner: 3 tr, 3 ch, 3 tr.
1st short side: * 1 ch, 3 tr in next ch-space *, repeat from *-* the entire short side, 1 ch.
2nd corner: Same as 1st corner.
2nd long side: : * 1 ch, 3 tr in next ch-space *, repeat from *-* the entire long side, 1 ch.
3rd corner: Same as 1st corner.
2nd short side: * 1 ch, 3 tr in next ch-space *, repeat from *-* the entire short side, 1 ch.
4th corner + finish: Work the same as 1st corner, * 1 ch, 3 tr in next ch-space *, repeat from *-* 1 more time, 1 ch and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch at beg of round = 152 ch, 144 tr-groups with 3 tr on round including the corners. READ COLOUR CHANGE.

ROUND 3: Switch to opal green (no 17), 6 ch (1st ch = 1 dc), skip 2 tr, * 1 dc around next ch, 5 ch, skip 3 tr *, repeat entire long side.
1st corner: Work as follows in ch-space: 1 dc, 3 ch, 1 dc.
1st short side: * 5 ch, skip 3 tr, 1 dc around next ch *, repeat from *-*, the entire short side, finish with 5 ch and skip 3 tr.
2nd corner: Same as 1st corner.
2nd long side: * 5 ch, skip 3 tr, 1 dc around next ch *, repeat from *-*, the entire long side, finish with 5 ch and skip 3 tr.
3rd corner: Same as 1st corner.
2nd short side: * 5 ch, skip 3 tr, 1 dc around next ch *, repeat from *-*, the entire short side, finish with 5 ch and skip 3 tr.
4th corner + finish: Work the same as 1st corner, then * 5 ch and skip 3 tr, 1 dc around next ch *, repeat from *-* 1 more time, 5 ch, skip 3 tr and finish with 1 sl st in 1st st on round = 148 dc and 43 5-ch-spaces along each long side , 29 5-ch-spaces along each short side and 4 3-ch-spaces in each corner.

ROUND 7: Switch to opal green (no 17), 1 ch (= 1 dc), * 1 ch, skip 1 tr, * 1 dc in next st, *, repeat from *-* the entire long side. Read CROCHET TIP-1.
1st corner: Work as follows in ch-space: 1 dc, 3 ch, 1 dc.
1st short side: 1 dc, * 1 ch, skip next st, 1 dc in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire short side.
2nd corner: Same as 1st corner.
2nd long side: 1 dc, * 1 ch, skip next st, 1 dc in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire long side.
3rd corner: Same as 1st corner.
2nd short side: 1 dc, * skip next st, 1 ch, 1 dc in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire short side.
4th corner + finish: Work the same as 1st corner, then * 1 dc in/around next st, 1 ch, skip 1 st *, repeat from *-* until beg of round and finish with 1 sl st in 1st st on round, at the same time change to turquoise (no. 18) = 328 dc, 328 ch. READ COLOUR CHANGE! Do not cut the opal green (no. 17) thread, but cut and fasten off the other threads.
You are ready for the next clue!
CROCHET TIP-1: Do not crochet too tight on rounds with 1 dc + 1 ch.

IMPORTANT: The pictures and the video show an example where we crochet the edge around 1 single square. You need to crochet this 3rd edge around the whole blanket (40 squares).

Jag önskar att ni skriver hur många maskor/stolpgrupper det ska vara per sida. Som det är nu så ser man bara hörnet och totala antalet och jag är rädd för att jag inte har rätt antal per sida. Det kanske straffar sig längre fram. Törs inte virka vidare förrän jag ser hur mönstret blir.
